misreading/seeing things

Basically i suffered from anxiety/depersonalization for around 3 months now its nowhere near as bad as it was when i first had it,however every day seems like a struggle,i would like to know how long anxiety usually lasts and is it common to read things that arent there and at a glance see things that arent there is this part of anxiety as it is worrying me.

I have been for a healing recently and it has improved my condition alot! that was my second one,now the seeing things for example if i looked at a can of coke on the side it looked open when i glanced again it was not,same with my friend i thought he was smoking a cigarette looked gain he was not this was last week,however i was living in another country when all this started about 3-4 months ago at the time it was alchol what caused my anxiety and depersonalization from heavy heavy bingeing and drugs even befor i left for abroad i didnt feel right on the plane,however at the moment it just seems to be episodes of feeling strange throughout the day but this can be overwhelming at times the doctors have told me to stop drinking which i will do now as my symptoms are worse the day after,but as i have broke out in spots and sweat alot i think this may be hormone related! thanks for ur opinion as i probably am sensitive and have only just realised this after the years of damage i have done to my body and mind.

Duration of anxiety/depression is going to be different for everyone.  The state of your thoughts will determine how long it lasts.  Love yourself by being good to yourself.  Do nice things for yourself.  Date yourself, lol.  The cause of all unhappiness is that you want things to be different then what they are.  Do something about the things you have control over.  

As for you seeing things, it is hard to say.  It would be nice to know what you are seeing.  There might be a physical reason but you also might be a sensitive.  Sensitives can see, feel, hear things the average person can not. You might be one that sees.  You may also be one that feels which might be part of your anxiety/ depression issues.  Be very picky about who and what you expose yourself to.  IF you are a sensitive, until you become more experienced, you may not be able to tell the difference between your stuff and the stuff of others.  Sensitives that are very grounded can easily discard the negative energy of others.  Then there are those that take on other stuff and don't know how to get rid of it. Spending time alone in nature would be helpful if this was the case.

What you can do is find someone in your area that can be a mentor for you.  Perhaps a Reiki master might be the easiest for you to find.  Just to have someone to talk to and work with for a while just to see if your problems are physical or psychic (tricky word to use because it can give people the wrong idea).  You may be gifted and not even be aware of it.   It would be nice to know if you had natural gifts and learn how to work with them before you resort to medicating yourself in any way.
