Every so often I have a strange feeling come over me

[TaliaTalia5]

I have generalized anxiety and panic . Every so often I feel like a flash back happening. Feels like I am grasping for something. Difficult to explain. Is like Deja vu. Lasts for about a minute. Think it happens when I am stressed out. Is not a nice feeling. Like a shock to my brain.

has anyone experienced this ?

Thank you

yes, I get that all the time. Just like my body feels uneasy and my mind starts racing and thinking of the worst. Things that calm me down is writing out my thoughts and that puts it into perspective and seeing how ridiculous and unrealistic some of my thoughts are. Talking with someone about my fears/insecurities/worries helps calm me down too. Also communities like this and knowing I’m not alone is a godsend.

TaliaTalia5, this strange feeling/sensation can and does happen to me on occasion,

upon awakening. It's like having some left over thoughts that last but a few moments.

When this happens, I usually am in bed and I start my breathing exercises. Inhaling

deeply (belly breathing) hold and then exhale long and slow. It's usually enough to

take the sensations away. I then continue on with my day with no issues. xx
