Experiencing Dissociation and Panic: Need Advice

Idk if it’s my medication (Ativan, I take .5 twice a day for about a month now) or from constant stress and panic but I’ve been feeling a level of dissociation/dp/dr I’ve never felt before .. like I’ll be sitting there and all of a sudden feel like I don’t recognize where I’m at or almost get confused .. it’s scaring the shit out of me .. it’s been an all day thing for the past 3 days ..

I understand I now have agoraphobia and it's so hard for me to get out of bed and go outside. Before this I had a bad panic attack out in public which caused this and I had nothing but panic attacks for a month and that's caused me to feel what you're feeling. When I walk it's like I'm not in my body but I can see and I'll question myself if I'm really here and it scares me to the point when reality smacks me in the face my heart is beating so fast. I get light headed and dizzy from and I feel like I'm about to fall over but I don't. It honestly sucks I can't even really show my face to people without having negative thoughts anymore. I hope you get well and sorry for all this random things I was trying to explain how I got Derealization I never use to have this bad it would only happen once in a blue moon. 😔

I would maybe talk to your provider to see if you can try something else because it sounds like you think it's either the med or your still so stressed even with the med your symptoms are getting worse. I wish you all the best on this 😥
