Just feeling so unusual, and strange

Does anyone else with anxiety just have days when they feel off? Not like themselves just plain weird? It is honestly making me panic and worry more....I'm just wondering if this is normal

I’d say it’s pretty normal for me. I’ve struggling with bad anxiety for the past year and a half so indeed there are times the anxiety sets in even if there is no reason to be anxious.

I can relate. For me I can sometimes feel completely disoriented…like the chemicals are all out of whack. For the most part tho, I feel like I’m in a fog…numb even. I’m definitely not ‘me’. I recently took two weeks off work to address this relentless feeling. Doesn’t sound like very long but that’s all I could manage. Despite this, I’ve managed (somehow) to lift myself out of it a bit. I made myself do things..not every day, but really pushed myself. Yoga helps me too if I do it daily.

I feel "off" and not myself when my anxiety starts trying to overtake me. I think it's my body's way of telling me it's realizing that things are not as comfortable and content as they were before I started to get anxious. I'm trying to learn to sit with the discomfort. It's obviously a lot easier said than done when you're having physical and emotional symptoms.
