I dont know if this is due to anxiety but it is most likely from anxiety ...i feel sometimes like im not in control of my movements and speech, sometimes i feel like im not in control really which feels weird and is not necessarily scary but strange because im used to it ...
Maybe its also fatigue ..i mean im able to do anything i want , but sometimes even moving my arms feels weird and tiring ..it gets worse when im tired so it cant be a coincedence ..and i feel my muscle twitching and shaking , i also feel like im not really concious like im in a dream like feeling sometimes , its really annoying because as an 18 year old , i sometimes have late night events , hang outs, social events , and this make it awkward and scary to get while with many people and far from home, i really just want to lead a normal life but sometimes i really feel everything in life is so difficult regardless how much i try to work on improving my mental health, im not giving up but its just so frustrating that i rarely catch a break, everything is inconvinient and hard and nothing is easy to overcome and nothing feels good ..

I'm 52, but let me tell you I was actually happy you realized what is going on with you. When I was your age, I hid it (& a plethora of other issues) and did not seek any help. Consequently, I'm still fighting my mental health issues. I felt like a freak of nature and no one could say anything worse to me that I had not said to myself before. I'm sure this doesn't do you any good, today, but all I'm saying is keep up the good work!
Yes thats possible, i usually get panic attacks for silly reason , and i worry and overthink simple things, but i was at home , and i suddenly start noticing being very fatigued after eating a meal ..and suddenly being very sleepy and i just felt unconcious and not in control, everything seemed blurry, unclear, my brain was foggy and i felt like i dont have control over my body
Your exams are over which must be great. You are out with your friends so that is really good but also give yourself time to relax and try to avoid getting over tired as that makes anxiety worse.
You have done so well to do all you do when you suffer from anxiety.
Have patience and very gradually it will improve. I think you are probably still suffering from all extra stress that the exams caused. If you remember you were feeling good for quite a long period before that. You will get back to that soon and eventually even better than that.
Depersonalisation is unpleasant but just try to ignore it and it will come to an end.
Yes it could be stress from exams but i was doing very well this week, i just felt very tired and i was at home so i didnt expect it to happen , but it feels a bit better now, i was worried that this would cause another cycle of fear that i would just get scared from derealization that i wont be able to sleep and get always tired and never escape the derealization feeling, its irational but i get alot of fears like that ..its similar to what happened to me when i first started getting panic attacks, i thought stress would kill me and i would get high pulse and blood pressure which made the panic worse , a cycle that i couldnt escape ..and im not sure how to deal with these always happening because there is always something like that

How to control my mind
How does everybody feel about their anxiety and controlling it?
Not in control of my own life.
How do I control my thoughts and feelings? It seems like my thoughts, feelings and emotions are going crazy and I have no control over it.
Does anyone ever feel at odds with your own body?
