Yeah!. I don't have a depersonalization disorder, but I have had brief periods of being depersonalized (which is common in many disorders, including depression and PTSD), and that is a very disturbing but very typical symptom!. I'd even go through moments where all human connection seemed unreal, and it felt like all our thoughts and actions were mechanical, like an ant working in a hill or something!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
it is completely normal, you said you have GAD and depersonalization, feeling bizarre and worrying about a brain tumor are all part of it, i have it also and i used to feel it so much more i would worry about all sorts of cancers, and diseases no matter how normal my tests came out, but then i learned that you have to trust the doctor YOU ARE FINE! you just have anxiety which makes people feel crazy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
while some of those of a brain tumor, they are all symptoms of the disorders that you've already been diagnosed with!. Tell your therapist about it the next time you see him/her!. S/he will know what to do :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com
