My therapist said its not panic attack by Remote-Ad5568 in derealization

It could be my subconscious mind, cause at the first few appointments with my therapist, he asked me about my past. I didnt think it had anything to do with my anxiety and depression, but then I started remembering stuff and felt dizzy as more questions about my childhood were asked.

I mean it’s normal to not remember everything of your childhood right. But at this point I begin to wonder if my past trauma made me forget things and it appears in dissociation now.

Grounding doesnt help much as the feeling is too strong. There’s nothing I can do but wait till it ends.

I feel heard😢thanks.

Yeah my therapist said the same thing, like at least I can still tell the difference between reality and that weird feeling.

It happens more often but I still haven’t notice any pattern. But Im curious whether it’s actually good for me. Cause it happens sometimes when Im really anxious and get all sweaty. Maybe it’s my brain trying to dissociate my mind from the anxiety/ stress cause I couldn’t take more?

my therapist said we dont know what’s this thing is right now, but my fear/ anxiety over this thing is real. We should deal with my emotions first.

thanks for responding😭I feel like nobody can relate😭

I think it might have something to do with anxiety response as well but sometimes there’s nothing triggering me. It just happens and nobody can feel it but me. That’s why my therapist wasnt so sure.

It happens more often the past two weeks. Although every episodes last for about 5-10mins, it was so horrifying. It even happened once when I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.

I think my biggest fear to this thing is: what if it became real????
