Out of Place

I had a huge panic attack today and it took me two hours to calm down. It was terrifying to say the least. It's been six hours since and I just feel kind of depersonalized and emotionless. Has anybody else taken this long after an attack to feel like themselves again?

Yes it has taken me this long. I feel unsettled for a long time. I think a lot of it is because I feel so disappointed and sad that anxiety keeps happening, makes me feel even worse. You are not alone

Thankyou. That makes sense. I feel the same. I just feel kind of out of it. I don't know how to explain it.. I'm thankful I'm not alone but I'm also sorry you deal with this crap too.

in reply toLeoAnon

It’s hard to explain but we get it 😊

Yep, I get it. I know it’s hard to explain. Afterwards I always feel foggy, uneasy, on edge, like I’m looking through a window watching everyone live and be “normal” and I don’t feel part of it.

So odd how anxiety makes us feel..

We have delicate souls. We hurt easily and have empathy for others. Anxiety can take over and we lose control of our thoughts

LeoAnon in reply toIammesues

Very well put. Sometimes I just want to go back to the moment that made me this way and throw it away.

I feel conflicted about what you said about going back to the moment. I’m proud I’m more empathetic than others and I bet you are too. Our delicate souls definitely cause us hurt and sadness, but I wish others were more delicate too
