Sometimes, my anxiety gets so low in a way (I say this because it seems as though sometimes my anxiety levels get so low, that I start to have anxiety in a different way because I’m not used to not having anxiety, so feeling different scares me). It’s like everything starts to feel so real that it starts to feel unreal. It’s like I’m having a new perspective that I don’t know how to interpret. I start to literally feel like this isn’t real, everything is not actually existing just a projection, or something like that. It’s weird because in a way I feel like I almost always have some for of dissociation, but just from general stress or anxiety. It’s like when you’re stressing out in your head, you’re not totally emotionally or mentally engaged in what’s going on around you, and you don’t feel as connected as you want to. But it’s not that things feel unreal in a sense as they do when you’re having a derealization attack. I really need help, advice, maybe something to help myself or say to myself. I tell myself, “everything is real. It’s okay. Relax. You’ll be okay.” And I pray a lot. It ends up going away. But can anyone explain this? Or help me to feel better about it or have any tips to cure that? I honestly do not want to take artificial medication.
Thank you so much.
