i really need answers.

I put this question in anxiety because from similar posts, answers have been anxiety related. I feel as though everything is a dream, that at any moment my reality can be ripped away from me and I could wake up. But I can't. And it's not scary, it's just worrying that I'm living, but then again I'm not? And idk if this is a medical problem or not which I dont think it is. I've never had any problems pertaining to my head or anything. Sometimes, it's more powerful like when I'm extremely sad about something. And I'm like WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME. I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS. SOMEONE HELP ME. WHAT IS WRONG. ME?! I have good people in my life but since this has been occurring (it has happened all my life like in short moments, but now it's all of the time) I feel disconnected. I just want to feel real again. please send help.

You need to see a psychiatrist. Sounds like you have an anxiety disorder as well as a possible panic disorder. You can feel normal again .you may need meds to do so.

I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. I know it has to be hard to wake up everyday and feel like that. You are not the only one who has to go through something like you. I'm not a medical expert but you mentioned this feeling has been reoccurent through out your whole life. You mentioned you feel out of reality and feel disconnected. My first question would be have you been through traumatic experiences or have you felt stressed, depressed, or a lot of anxiety before it started? I hope this feeling goes away for you soon. My deepest sympathy and understanding! My first thought would be to never rule out medical conditions, but depersonalization disorder is the first thing that comes to mind. I would talk to your general.doctor first if you haven't already.
