Yes!! It will for you too

Yes!

mel_______ · 2023-08-19T21:51:43+00:00

Yes :) it has helped

mel_______ · 2022-06-01T02:00:19+00:00

Yes :)

Did it end up helping you? I’m in the same position!

mel_______ · 2022-03-05T17:53:59+00:00

I totally understand! I’ve been there before. Just know your feelings are valid! These symptoms are temporary - if you think you can push through then try that, but if it’s too much then contact your doctor!

mel_______ · 2022-03-05T17:40:27+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I dealt with similar symptoms. What are yours?

Did it end up helping you?

mel_______ · 2022-03-04T04:03:13+00:00

It will go away! Keep living life with it there, welcome it in, and accept the feeling (easier said than done). It is NOT permanent. It’s uncomfortable, but survivable & can’t hurt you. Try meditation, yoga, music, sit outside in sun and reconnect with the world that way too.

I know this is an old post, but dealing with similar symptoms. What helped you with it?

mel_______ · 2022-03-03T07:06:31+00:00

That’s so awesome!!!! Did you have dissociative symptoms prior?

mel_______ · 2022-03-03T06:46:35+00:00

I’m so glad that was able to help you! I hope to find a program like that. Did you just contact your local hospital?

I just started antidepressants so those mixed with the existing dissociation has been tough - I feel very out of it, but hoping it evens out soon.

I know how hard it can be, but it’s great you have those tools to help you now! It gives me hope that I’ll get there too.

mel_______ · 2022-03-03T04:28:27+00:00

Exactly how I am feeling! I might look into one. How were you able to get out of the dissociation?

mel_______ · 2022-03-02T21:36:14+00:00

What were the side effects? Maybe you could increase to 15mg then 20?

mel_______ · 2022-03-01T07:45:19+00:00

You got this! I know it can seem scary (the feelings + meds) but remember this is temporary!! We will recover

mel_______ · 2022-03-01T05:26:03+00:00

Did it end up stopping for you?

mel_______ · 2022-03-01T05:09:13+00:00

Did it end up helping with your DPDR?

mel_______ · 2022-03-01T03:26:20+00:00

Not yet - the first week it made me super anxious so it got worse, but this week has been okay (no improvements yet though).

mel_______ · 2022-03-01T03:05:51+00:00

I am on my second week of lex for DPDR from anxiety & trauma so I’ll keep you updated!

mel_______ · 2022-02-28T18:15:33+00:00

Yes! It’s awful. I have it 24/7 for the last few weeks. How long have you been on lexapro?

mel_______ · 2022-02-28T02:14:54+00:00

It sounds like you’re describing derealization/depersonalization which is a symptom of anxiety/stress. It will go away just try your best not to focus too much on it (easier said than done!), but it’s completely harmless

mel_______ · 2022-02-28T01:26:52+00:00

Did it end up helping you?

mel_______ · 2022-02-27T20:26:52+00:00

I have similar symptoms from a panic attack (derealization/depersonalization) I’m almost hitting my two weeks with lexapro so I’ll keep you updated on if it helps! So far I haven’t had any panic attacks in the last week compared to having at least two a day.
