Depersonalization: Anxiety can cause many things including what you describe but it is fairly serious to have so much going on . You should be seen today and get the care that is needed. You can call the national suicide hotline at 1-800 273-8255 and they can direct you to local lservices so you can get immediate help. f/u today w.doc /urgent /ER or per national line referral

Yes: Anxiety can worsen to the point that can have panic attacks leading to depersonalization. May lead to problems with focus/concentration. Over activation of sympathetic system can lead to freq urination. May be good to also get tested for UTI/prostatitis if worsens (rule out UTI, check prostrate, check blood sugars). Consider yogic practice of "Alternate Nostril Breathing" to allay anxiety.

Get examined: You have multiple psychological and possibly psychiatric issues. Additionally, your frequent urination need to be evaluated. Close your computer and call your family physician or go to an urgent care center. Additionally I would advise calling a mental health hotline for referral and additional advice.

I am sorry to hear..: ...about all of your problems, but they are too complicated for a Health Tap Q&A. I strongly encourage you to get personal care, or if you've done so already, to follow up with your physician about "med" & other treatment. If you have healthcare through the ACA, it should cover mental health care. Best wishes. Dr. A.

You do seem to: have many of the symptoms of anxiety, although depersonalization suggests a more severe psychological reaction to stress, including anxiety. Frequent urination, believe it or not, IS one of the symptoms of strong anxiety, although it is not one of the most common. Your other sx's fall in line, too.
