Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Hi... I am new to this support group and to this feeling in general. I have always had an anxiety disorder, mostly about health related things. But lately I have been having anxiety with mental things. Am I going crazy? How am I existing? In return, it makes me feel very sad. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the winter. I live in Chicago, and we are by far having the longest and worst winters in a very long time.
I feel very stuck in my head. So stuck to the point where I think I am going thru depersonalisation. I feel like I am on autopilot. Going thru my days but so very stuck in my head. Even talking makes me feel weird because it makes me think "How am I doing this?"
Just wondering if anyone has gone thru anything like this? As far as the depersonalisation? Has anyone ever wondered how they are talking and doing things? It's a very scary feeling to not feel a part of myself. To feel like I am a separate entity from my mind. Tho, I do know who I am. Any kind words of encouragement and understanding would be very great. Thank you.

I don't have anxiety problems so I don't have anything to help you with what you are experiencing, but there are a lot of people on here who will.
You've come to the right place to share experiences with others and find out what has helped them.
Please hold on until people see this. You will get help.
Keep posting and don't give up! Much love, many hugs! "
I think being aware that this happens it what keeps it from being prolonged. Also the way I tend to logically police my emotions. It's like a moment of insanity that quickly fades and I wonder why I even felt it to begin with. It doesn't disrupt my life or keep me from going about my day, I just hate the way it feels.
I'm not sure how to work on stopping it or not feeling it. It's definitely something I want to bring up to a therapist if I ever get one.
