ok so im a 20 year old female and iv had this feeling im going to explain for over 4 months straight ALL THE TIME 24/7. it all happend when i went ot vomit but nothing came out so i started trying to make myself because i felt like something was stuff in my throat so i was pushing sooo hard (dry heaving) then all of a sudden when i was doing that i got this spacey feeling so i stoped. at first i thought i must have hurt something in my head to cause these symptoms but iv gotten tests done and every looked normal the doctors said. doctors also said forceful dry heaving cant cause damage. they just kept saying anxiety but i never thought i had anxiety, my life was going awesome till this happened. i guess i had a past of depression and i was on prozac for 3 years ( i was on it when this happened) i got off of it a month after to see if it had anything to do with anything, i did not. so finally i was like whatever ok is derealization (saw it online andd looked like my symptoms) but i dont know why i would have this or how i got it from pushing hard while heaving? doctors dont know anything and iv been to one therapist recently who said she didnt no if i had derealization or if anything mentally wrong at all...... which scares me because doctors say my body is physically fine and everything looks ok but then a therapist said she doesnt no if its in my mind either and that it might be medical. im scared to death of this not going away. i cant live like this. v just never heard of someone getting it how i did if it even is derealization. i dont know.pleasse help.

thanks! yeah i think or thought i had derealization too because of my symptoms but the why i got these symptoms is what makes me iffy about it. i did go to a therapist last week for the first time and i brought up derealization and she said she didnt think thats what is was but doesnt really know. she said she doesnt no if its anything mental......its been over 4 months and i have no answers to anything so how i am suppose to work at it? :(

There is no doubt in my mind that what you are experiencing is derealization. How you got it is another question for someone else to answer.

Why were you on Prozac? This tells me that you may have had and issue before all this started. i am not sure but derealization may also come with depression. I always looked at depression and anxiety as different sides of the same coin. So, derealization coming with anxiety probably comes with depression too.

I would see a mental health doctor about it. he can tell you more than your family physician.


i hope this helps because I have seen many of your posts about the same issue.
