Numb to feeling and DErealization

[E2013]

So I can have a good day most of the day, but then I get a rush of DErealization and everything seems fake around me is this part of anxiety? Also I have major brain fog and I feel not sad or unhappy but numb anyone else feel this way ?

Yes that is a very common anxiety symptom. I get that all the time. I dont know what's worse that or dizziness all the time. Mine can last all day or just a couple hours. I tend not to notice it to much when I distract myself.

Yes. Happens to me often. What do you mean by fake? I've seen others use that terminology. I become hyper self aware. Like myself observing myself.

Fake as in everything looks not real to me I feel I’m on the outside of my body looking in its so bazaar. if I’m out talking to people or doing something it feels not real if that makes sense at all I’m sorry . I hate feeling like this .

I get these feeling too! They are pretty rubbish aren’t they. The brain fog just messes with everything and stops me functioning as I did before. Have you tried concentrating on your breathing? I know it sounds crazy but I think one of the things people with anxiety do is breath too shallowly. This causes loads of weird side effects x

I have tried to breathe right but it’s so hard to focus on that when I think something is severely wrong😩 yes I can’t function at all eaither I literally think I’m gonna die or something when I have a attack it’s awful.

Catch myself shallow breathing alot. You're absolutely right.

I get this brain fog feeling it's really annoying and bothers me a lot. It comes from nowhere. From happy feeling to anxious feeling
