Been to the doctors twice about what happened to me on Tuesday and I still feel really unseasy. Even on Wednesday when I made my last post on here, I still wasn’t quite in the right state of mind and even though everything has mostly settled now, I’m still worried that this is only the beginning of something far worse.
From what has been gathered it seems I likely suffered and episode of what was presumably a combination of depersonalization and derealization, given the events of that night matching almost all the main symptoms for both. While this is something that can simply be a one-off incident caused by immense stress (which I had suffered a lot of that day), I worry that due to the fact I have had many less severe experiences similar to this over the past year that it will continue to get worse. It doesn’t help that I suffer from various other things that heighten the likeliness of it either. While I haven’t had a proper diagnosis yet, judging from what the doctor said along with some additional research done on mental health sites (still taken with a grain of salt of course.) it seems like the most likely case.
I guess all I can do is try and prepare for the worst case scenario, but I keep thinking back to that night and it’s still so fresh in my mind. There have only been a few times where I have felt such immense fear in my life, including being stalked and having my house broke into (surprisingly by two completely different people-) yet all of those are nothing in comparison to how scary this feeling was.
Feeling like everything you do is simply a dream, that you’re watching someone else play everything out, body and mind numb to everything. Hearing people talk but not seeing them, touching objects only to feel nothing.
This is the only time in my life that I have properly screamed in fear. It was probably less than a minute but it felt like I had been screaming for hours. Words don’t do enough justice to the fear this feeling brought on.
I just wish this won’t happen again.
