I'm 30F and been having episodes of depersonalization lately. I feel overwhelmed. I have had this before but it wasn't this bad. Then after these episodes I started to have existential thoughts which scare me to no end. 


Sometimes I wonder if we are in a movie or a simulation and get terrified. Then the thought of simple things start to scare me even my own relatives. I don't know how to explain it. But it feels like I'm losing my sense of reality the way I used to experience it before. Today I got scared when I looked at myself in the mirror! I stared to question and wonder about everything. 

I don't even know if this really is existential dread or if I'm experiencing something else or if I'm going crazy.

It seems to get worse for me.

I don't know how to get out of this. Sometimes I wonder don't other people question their existence. I can't imagine living the rest of my life like this. I want to get back to normal. I'm afraid of going insane. 

Have you experienced something like this? If so what kind of thoughts did you have? 

Any advice would really help me.
