Somebody please help me. I'm at the end of my rope. To make a long story short, I was taking zoloft, after 4 months had an anxiety attack, and since then i've been experiencing derealization/depersonalization. Maybe the zoloft part is completely irrelavaent, i don't know. but anyway, i was doing research on anxiety and depersonalization last night and i keep finding stuff about schizophrenia...and i seem to have most of the symptoms. The only symptoms i don't have (yet) are hallucinations and voices in my head. I also read that anxiety can just be the starting point to schizophrenia. But everyone keeps telling me it's just my anxiety. I have anxiety because i'm worrying about my anxiety and that is the reason for my "dream-like" feeling, or derealization. And maybe i didn't have those symptoms of schizophrenia, maybe my mind is so screwed up right now that it will take any symtpom of any illness and act like i have it. but there is this horrifying feeling that maybe i do have schizophrenia. Maybe this is just the beginning. I've felt out of touch reality for about 4 weeks now..ever since the anxiety attack. why did i have an anxiety attack? who knows. i was completely relaxed at the time and what not.can anybody help me? i don't know how much longer i can take of this. thank you.
