Sir Myself 38 Yrs Old Male Suffering From Anxiety With
Question: Sir myself 38 yrs old male suffering from anxiety with dp/dr. Actually I have noticed my anxiety at the age of 21 but at that time it was coming in small episodes and some personal problems were also there. So I don't given more attention at that time and one more thing is that at that time I have not even recognised that my problem is anxiety. So it went on and I relocated from my native place XXXXXXX to XXXXXXX for job in the year 2009 at the age of 28. And I got married in 2012. So from 2001 to 2012 I have my lived my life without consulting a doctor or a professional, only in the year 2008 I have discussed the thing with one counsellor and she was my colleague. She assured that it is not a serious problem and it is happening because of my personal problems. Actually I had an affair with one of my cousin sister she was 5 yrs younger to me. It was not a serious for her but for me it was serious. We had some moderate sex relationships also. But paralley she had serious affair with other boys and she said that I was like a brother to her and she loving other boy as a life partner. And her partner's are changed from time to time from school to college it changed but I was always there with her. So I can say that around 80 percentage of my anxiety episodes from 2001 to 2009 was because of her. In 2009 January she went to gulf and I relocated to XXXXXXX in 2009 july. And I can say that from 2009 to 2012 April I don't have a single anxiety episode. In this period three times the episode came and all the three time she was the reason first one on her engagement time second one on her marriage tine and third time when she came for delivery. Apart from that no single episode happened and that period I was living alone in XXXXXXX But before one week of my marriage the episode came again but I managed somewhat and came out. And 2013 and 2014 went without serious problem. But from 2015 real problem started. I really broken down and went to XXXXXXX to see a psychiatrist. First i consulted a psychologist and she referred me to a psychiatrist. But both of them said that I don't have any serious problem and I can manage by myself like that. I came back to XXXXXXX but the problem continued i again went to XXXXXXX see one more psychiatrist and he prescribed me nexito plus but i didn't took the medicine. In 2015 only I came to know that my problem is anxiety. From 2015 I have studied lot about mental health and I have shared the story on health care magic with one doctor XXXXXXX solanki and he also assured that I don't have any serious problem but some times he advised to take low doses of medicine. And in 2015 december I first time experienced depersonalization and derealization but that lasted for weeks only. So from 2015 to till today I am living with these problems. It was not always there. In 2015 most of the time anxiety was there and dp dr came very less. In 2016 almost good for me no serious episodes were there. But in 2017 dp dr again started and I have suffered a lot in january February march and in the month of Oct to january 2018. But as a XXXXXXX from 2018 january to 2019 may no major episodes were happened and I thought that I have recovered from these problems. And from 2015 to till today one of my trigger point was that return from my home to XXXXXXX after vacation. Most of the time the episodes was started when I came back from my home. But from 2018 January to 2019 may I went 4 times to XXXXXXX and came back but nothing happened and everything went ok. But in 2019 may when I came back from XXXXXXX again the breakdown occured with anxiety and depersonalization and continued for almost one month. And I have recovered very well and in the month of August September October and till 15 of November I was doing extremely well even single day of anxiety or dp dr were there. But when I came back from home in mid of November again the breakdown happened and it is continuing for the last two months. More than anxiety dp dr is really ruining me. How can I come back from this depersonalization. And I have studied several books and read lot of recovery stories online etc but still I am unable to function very well. Dp dr is really killing me. I don't how to come out of this. Pls help me.....my wife is aware of my problems. But she don't know exactly what is my problem. From 2015 onwards she is aware about my problem. But it is coming and going so she is adjusting with me. But this time I am out of clue...pls help me....

And during that discussion period first time I experienced dp dr an dr and instantly I discussed the thing with him and he make clear that my dp dr is because of my prolonged anxiety.

Correcting some typing mistakes.in my family no history of psychiatric disorders. Earlier through healthcaremagic dr XXXXXXX solanki said that once I am able to eliminate or reduce my anxiety the dp dr will also be eliminated. And most of the time that happened also.. after 2015 I experienced dp dr in XXXXXXX 2017 and Oct 2017 only. And lasted for few weeks only. And then it came in XXXXXXX 2019 lasted for three weeks and diminished by it's own. And now its started from November and continuing with up and downs. In my history of 19 years of suffering I felt dp dr totally for almost four months and by means of episodes only four or five episode.in my 19 years of that period I have experienced anxiety slight depression most of the time.

Brief Answer:
You were able to handle the issues for 19 years. Great
Detailed Answer:
Dear Nandesh. Thanks for the follow up question. From the description you gave in your follow up it is almost clear that you just have anxiety disorder issues and related mood disorder. I will not categorize the mood disorder as depression because you do not have such symptoms. Therefore there is no need to be anxious.
The question here is, you were carrying the problems for 19 years and you did not get any therapy sessions for those. In the meantime I am also happy that "You were able to handle the issues for 19 years". That is the limelight I am seeing in this.
I see that you are from XXXXXXX and you should know Malayalam. I wish to speak to you and therefore try arranging a call to me through healthcare magic.
You will need continuous counseling sessions and Cognitive Behavior Therapy so that your anxiety disorders and mood disorders can be treated successfully. Usually CBT takes 3 months to 6 months to be a success. But within a month you will start feeling the difference. After 6 months, you will see that your anxiety disorder and mood swings are cured.
The first step to CBT is:
1. Exercise physically outdoor or play any outdoor games daily for 1 hour.
2. Engage in any Breathing Relaxation exercises like "avilom vilom pranayam" or simple "abdominal breathing". 10 minutes twice a day.
3. Positive self talk - Always tell yourself like "I am happy, healthy, positive, confident, energetic, optimist, enthusiast". The more you say, the more the benefit is.
Do these continuously for a week without fail. Then I will provide further CBT steps.
Take care

Sir some uploading problems are there. Just now I have asked follow up question but it is not uploaded. After typing so much it is not uploading is a nuisance. Let come back to our point. Thank u so much for your reply sir. Whatever I have provided here is 100% true sir. I have not hide anything. As I said earlier that fir the last 19 years I have this. From 2001 to 2009 first phase in 2012 second phase and from 2015 to till today is the third phase. And I can say that in the first phase
majority of my problems triggered either my cousin. As she left to gulf in 2009 that completely vanished. And I also relocated to XXXXXXX in 2009 july. And I have lived almost three years in XXXXXXX without a single episode. Some problems occured during her engagement and marriage time and that was quite natural also. And the second phase started just one week before my marriage and lasted for two months with ups and downs and that's also vanished by it's own. And the current phase started in 2015 and my first dp/dr also experienced in 2015 only. And one thing I felt that from 2015 most of the episodes started when I came back from XXXXXXX to XXXXXXX Because in XXXXXXX all are there and suddenly shifting from there to here in small govt quarters with my nuclear family, I think my mind is not adjusting with that.

I have undergone several online screening tests for schizophrenia and all came 100 % negative. What is your opinion about my dp/dr. As u are from XXXXXXX definitely I try to make a call through healthcaremagic. The second reply I have received from u is carbon copy of the reply that I have received from dr XXXXXXX solanki through healthcaremagic in 2015. Thank u so much once again for your valuable reply..

Brief Answer:
YOU ARE A FIGHTER and WINNER
Detailed Answer:
Dear Nandesh. I am hundred percent sure that you do not have schizophrenia, psychosis or even depression. You do have medium anxiety disorder and some mood disorders. DP and DR are due to your anxiety disorder and mood disorder. Do not carry that too much in your head.
My most important point is, if you were able to manage your anxiety for 19 years, YOU ARE A FIGHTER and WINNER. You should be proud of yourself should not underestimate your fighting quality. Being proud about your fighter quality in itself is self esteem and self confidence booster and both will help you fight and cure your anxiety disorder.
Therefore, go ahead and do all the methods I have given you. You will see a difference in within a week. Exercise improves endorphins (feel good hormones) and decreases cortisol (stress hormone) and balances serotonin (depression hormone). Breathing relaxation exercise improves metabolism and helps controlled thinking and emotions. Positive self talk help you in increased endorphins (feel good hormones).

Thank u so much for your kind words sir. Actually I am not considering myself as a fighter. Everything happened by default. I have not done anything purposely. In my first phase I was in a position that I could do anything during anxiety episodes. If j want to sleep more I could do that. If I want to skip food I could do that. If i want to spend more time outside I could do that. So like that the 'let it go' attitude happened at that time by default. And at that time no smartphone or internet was there. So I was not searching at all about my problems. But now the situation is different. I am married, I have a family, staying lot of distance away from XXXXXXX without any additional family members, here I cannot sleep more if I want, I cannot spend more time outside if I want I cannot skip meals when I am in home. Because immediately my wife will recognise my problems. She is very cooperative. She adjusts very well too. But after lot of adjustment if I still feel anxious, then she will get agitated and starts asking, if u are aware of the problem then y u marry me, y u spoiled my life like that. At that time I have no answer to tell. Actually I have not hide this thing purposefully. As I said earlier in 2009 my cousin sister went to gulf and I relocated to XXXXXXX for job all of my problems vanished and I have lived a problem free life for almost three years. After that my marriage proposal started., so frankly speaking I forgot about my problems and that's y I didn't disclose the thing before marriage to my wife. But now I feel guilty for that. Yesterday I went to XXXXXXX almost 120 kms away from my job place for an official programme where I met lot of people discussed official things etc.. etc. I am able to do that but parallely anxiety and dp/dr feelings also were there. This is the current situation I am going through. I am seriously looking for a transfer to XXXXXXX .if it happens that will be really good for me. Sir one more thing I want to ask u that if at any point of time I needed to take medicine for anxiety then what is ur opinion about anxiety medication. I am playing badminton but not daily, did gym for almost 6 months then left. I am not maintaining a proper routine. And one more thing is that for the entire life I am not having thick friends. So that I can share my feelings to them...will try to change everything... routine, thinking etc.etc and hope for the best sir....

Brief Answer:
You are still a fighter
Detailed Answer:
Dear Nandesh. Thanks for the follow up.
You will do better than this. I am sure.
Anxiety disorder and mood swings are not considered psychiatric conditions because those usually cure itself after some time. The important thing to remember is to lead a stress free life. Stress free is not possible, I know. But by managing your stress effectively, you can live a stress free life.
Because Anxiety disorder and mood swings are not considered psychiatric conditions, there is no need to divulge that "I am suffering" to anyone. That is OK. Your wife is co-operative. She reacts only when she is also agitated. Don't worry. I will talk to her regarding this when you come home next time.
Regarding medicines: Medicines can be taken on SOS basis. Whenever you feel the anxiety is more. But usually medicines may not give instant relief. It will take around 30 minutes to act on anxiety. In that sense, it will not help you unless you take it regularly.
If I know exactly what kind of anxiety symptoms you are experiencing when it happens, I may suggest some immediate relaxation exercises.
Friends are required but not essential. So don;t worry about that aspect.
You are still a fighter. Go ahead and fight. I am here to recover completely.
