Derealization - I feel like im high!(Completly Sober)

Everyday for the past week ive been dealing with derealization...It started out subtle and now I feel like im high and unaware of my sorroundings...Everything is a blur and I feel really limp like everything is in slow motion...Im really scared, my anxiety has never been this bad...I almost called 911 the past few nights cuz I cant sleep and I tend to dwell on my symptoms...Somebody plz tell me im ok I feel like im losing it...Im waiting for my DSHS interview for government aid but frankly im losing my patience I can't continue like this...I need help, ever since my first panic attack last January life has been a nightmare for me...I hope this goes away...Anyone else feel the same way on a daily basis

Right now I am experiencing the same thing... Shaking uncontrollably, scared, lightheaded, legs are weak and tingly. I feel like I'm going crazy and I'm going o die. I have only experienced this twice including right now and I really need a answer too. I just want to let you know I feel what your feeling. I'm only 13 but I feel like my life is ruined.

Please dont feel like your life is ruined.  I have suffered with anxiety and panic for years, but there was a time when I felt like it would never go away. Things do get better.  The best thing to do is just let it pass.. dont get scared by it.  Accept that you are having anxiety and that it won't hurt you.  You're NOT going crazy... the anxiety makes you "think" you are.  Good luck and keep your head up ok?

I have been feeling like I am in a state of surrealism for about 3 months now. It gradually got worse over the last 6 months. I was driving myself crazy trying to make people including my wife understand how I feel. I always said,"the best way to explain it, is that I feel like I am high on a drug but I am not." My doctor put me on Zoloft for the past month and I go back for a visit on 3/31 to follow up. I feel a little at ease and I can focus, but my body still feels the same. I feel good knowing that I am not alone and I would love to feel normal again. It is a very very scary feeling.
