> My doctor and i where talking about Xanax usage in the day when i cannot take stress anymore without having a trance like state, not feeling what im doing is real. Its almost like a dream, its scary because is it reality?
>This is called depersonalization usually. Its not an abnormal defense mechanism against anxiety and stress. You just lose yourself and feel like you're wandering in a dream.
If i get stuck in stressful places like say a bus or talking to my psychologist for more than a half hour this kicks in hard for me. Suprisingly despite the fact that there isnt a thought in my head and my personality has gone somewhere else i can still carry on a conversation and make sense to the other person when its really not making sense to me.
