I was diagnosed with depersonalization when I was a teenager suffering from severe anxiety and depression. Sounds. Exactly the same.

Especially the bit about doctors telling you that you’re ok but that you don't want to accept it. This sounds like hypochondria?

I can assure you that I have considered that. Still do. But ultimately, that would mean "learning" to not believe my own physical reality. I'm very much into intersubjectivity, but this is the one exception. That would be different if any of those doctors had actually seen me during an episode. The only time that happened however was when I was visiting friends. I had an episode while just hanging out there (holiday season stuff) and there happened to be a physician in the house when it hit. That guy never asked whether what I'm feeling was real. So it's that guy and me, vs a bunch of people who have never seen it happen.

I hope you find the help you need whatever that may be. It sounds like a really difficult thing you're going through.
