To anyone who has experienced this to any degree, it's likely one of the most scary experiences ever. Recently I've started to have the worst anxiety and panic attacks of my life. Then, within the past couple days I feel like I've been having almost constant derealization. I'll feel okay in moments, but then I'll get continual blips of these extreme unreal and frightening feelings. Along with that, I've been experiencing a lot of nostalgia that keeps coming back. Just, going right back to the exact feelings I've had in moments and times in my past. This, is also quite scary. It feels like my subconscious is at war with me. I'm almost always introspecting and questioning everythinnnnnng. I don't know what's real and what isn't. I also don't have a very good memory anymore. I think that just adds to not being able to tell what's real or not - not being able to remember what I have felt.
I've been doing some researching online about it and a lot of people describe it as a defense mechanism. Seems odd, seeing as it scares the **** out of me.
Anyone else have had experiences with this? Or just general thoughts to share?
