I used the above site (with out spaces) out of interest as I am convinced now I am slowly deteriorating. It has gone beyond anxiety now... How can I feel so bad? So detached? Anxiety can't make me feel this bad. There is nothing I can do except to accept my fate. I hate it... Being in tears. I thought I was doing better today. Obviously with permanent derealisation and anxiety i am never going to feel completely better. But still... I no it is something far worse. I stuck all my symptoms in that site to see if it helped... it didn't. I really can't believe anyone feels the way I do. :/ My symptoms selected where:

As bad as you feel its all anxiety .

http://anxietyforum.net/forum/showthread.php?1200-Anxiety-Symptoms-The-List

see this list, this is most of the anxiety symptoms and this list i had 95% at my worse . I can understand that you may think that there is no one that could be feeling as bad as you are now but there are many that are .

The first thing you need to do is stop googleing as it is going to send you around the twist . Google is not a doctor and no matter what symptoms you put in it will bring up many many things that it is not .

The second thing to do is accept that it is anxiety . This is hard but it is a good thing because you can recovery from it and go on to live a normal life .

Go and find any of Dr Weekes books and read them . This is a good start to understanding what is going on .

cheers :)

Totally agree with that. Paul David's book 'At Last A Life' is very good also. It helped get me through Anxiety/D.P before.

I have Paul David's book too :). It made me feel so much better about everything, and gave me confidence I'll overcome this. I also visit his blog daily.

So glad I came across his work.
