Hi bacon, im same age as you and also with 2 kids, i get this quite alot, especially lately, but didnt know it had a name for it untell now and reading your post, mine also comes and goes depending on how anxious and tired i have been, my anxiety at the min is 24/7 so im having it alot more with headaches and sore eyes, i started the sessions awhile ago and they did help although with the christmas period and my anxiety being realy high ive not done it, but i think if you give them a go, you will soon start to feel better and hopefully everything will improve for you, today ive thought to myself its time to change so i rang the doc who will ring me back tomorrow and hopefully get some meds n feel better, i hope things work out for u x

Hi Ya Bacon:
 
Welcome to the support group, here you will find a lot of very caring people.  Think of them as your on-line cheering section, here with you in good times and bad.
 
I too had a brush with depersonalization & it frightened the wits out of me, but it did  pass.  When it happens you automatically think what if if happens again & you know what one day it just goes away.  Just keep thinking to yourself that day will come, believe it because others have been in your shoes.
 
 Take care and to quote Diva

Hello Bacon,
 
Welcome to our wonderful support community where you have reached a great place for advice, encouragement and support.
 
Please take some time to work through the program and sessions. Although they require some effort, you will find them rewarding and you will discover a lot about yourself. Have you considered any counselling to help you cope better?
 
What kinds of activities help you to relax? Please do take a look as Jhori has suggested so that you can put these into practice.
 
Keep us posted and hang in there!

Hey Bacon,
 
Welcome to the board!
 
I've had that as well, many-a times!  For me, it typically happens when I'm not getting enough sleep...or when I have severe anxiety for a long period of time.  Do you get enough sleep?  Also try the program the folks here set up, click "Go to Toolbox", then start up the lessons...they have some great techniques to help relax yourself, like deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation.
 
Hang in there!  It's tough, especially right now...but it will pass and you'll get better!
Cheers,
