I have been dealing with Anxiety attacks and Panic attacks for about the last 7 months since November of 2007 and I have gotten slightly better I have been on medication and it has helped me yet I am left with doubt constantly. I have good days and bad days but it seems that no matter how well I go on with therapy and counseling the one thing that I am always left thinking is what if I had died back then and nobody wants to tell me and I am just walking around like a spirit here on earth or that I might be in another dimension but my body died somewhere else. I know it sounds crazy right and I kind of brought this up to my shrink and I didn't get a good response out of him. Kind of a crazy look is what I got. I am dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder I was in Iraq but ultimately I kind of wanted to get some feed back from people on how their de-realization affects them I know most times I just feel the whole I am in a movie complex thing but ultimately I don't want to feel like the only out here who is thinking they are ghosts I mostly feel like I am Bruce Willis from the Sixth Sense..... I would love it if I could get some feedback.

You are not crazy, it's just a sympton of anxiety. It used to scare the crap out of me this de-realization stuff, & to be honest still does affect me.

You need to consciously think rationally and try to keep really busy to take your mind off things. It's hard to know what to say about this Sixth Sense stuff, it's something that you've got to work out for your self.

The sixth sense is a movie where the main character bruce willis is dead throughout the whole movie but his spirit doesn't know it and he still tries to go on living like a normal person. It isn't until he starts treating a kid who has problems since he is a psychiatrist in life he tries to evaluate him and the kids ultimately tells him the truth about himself and his death. I used it as a reference since that what it feels like at times its a great movie but I don't suggest watching it now if you are dealing with derealization because it just might make you a little more loonie.....
thanks for the response.

Yes, I remember now, I watched it in 2001 & it sent shivers down my spine when I realised he was dead throughout the whole film. What got to me a bit was the guy who shot him. He said 'Do you know what it's like to feel scared, I do', that's anxiety.

I hate the Iraq war, I'm in the Naval Reserves and have done a lot of work with the British Marines, & I've heard terrible stories. One guy drank himself to death because he saw a friend killed in Basra, & another guy stabbed someone to death at home because of the trauma. Sorry to sound so negative, I could've acted on some of my disturbing thoughts & it still scares me, but I didn't I'm still here in one piece, I haven't done anything stupid (not completely stupid), stay strong anxiety can really mess people up but it doesn't mess EVERYONE up.

It takes time, you may feel de-realized now but it doesn't last forever, I know.
