in the beggining of the summer i had an awful panic attack out of nowhere.
i was shaking, my heart was beating extremely fast and i thought i was going to die. so, i calmed down from it after going to the ER bcuz they told me after sum rest id feel better the next day and all that crap. well, i didnt. ive had derealization. i feel distant from my surroundings and not myself...its really scary. ever since ive been suffering from anxiety and depression. i found out derealization is a symptom from anxiety and that made me feel a little better...but idk what to do. i was thinking i got this from my rapid use of drugs-so i cut that out immediatley...but i rly just want all of this to go away. each day i suffer in fear and i just dont want to live like this anymore

Hi Suzie, defiantely sounds like Generalized anxiety, probably not from the drugs, you were probably taking the drugs to self-medicate. Can you go to the doctor? This is really common, the doc can give you meds or recommend therapy, and also check you for physical things that would bring on anxiety, such as thyroid problems.
