> Is this a big issue for many of you, as it is for me? My first panic attack was attached to the dreaded feeling of derealization. There are plenty of sites now that discuss it and it's said to be the 3rd most common mental disorder. Strange then that no-one here seems to mention it. Perhaps it may warrant a section all to itself. Remember, if you get it, you're not going mad, it's just a feeling

Maybe they're just archaic concepts. They still exist experientially in some psychoses. I always thought of them as types of anxiety or mixed anxiety/mania. I don't really know how to attach the word to the experience-- can't say i had them. I did have something else that's really weird before bp dx-- regression and synaesthesia. Those too are old concepts.Squiggles
