Hello :-)

Not quite had dreams like that but are having weird dreams and do feel I am going insane

I feel like I am in a different world one I don't recognise , feels so weird and not nice at all

I think we all are feeling different things at the moment and accepting we are going through the strangest time ever we have experienced and it is normal , don't allow it to be another fear , we are all reacting differently to what is happening but nevertheless it is affecting the majority in some way or another

Hopefully this will pass soon :-)

Take Care x

Such a time we are living through and things on your mind I think for lot's it seems to be happening that they are having these weird dreams

I am like you annoyed with my thoughts and just want them to stop , as even when not sleep my head just keeps thinking and thinking and stressing all day , I feel exhausted all the time

Hope you are having the best weekend you can and you are not alone which I hope helps you to know that :-) x

That must be horrible I hope you are coping okay?

The unreal is scary medications can cause or anything like this thing all of us going through

I had a long time ago it's blanking out of the reality that causes it.

Try to think of a time you enjoyed and you ll be more placed .

I have the same as you described. It comes to me when I try to relax. I deal with it by getting up and doing something. It is weird though. I feel detached from everything going on. Like I am not there but am observing from deep within.

I guess we all need to find a distraction it’s the horrible belly feeling and altered perception that gets me! Like nothing is good it’s all scary and everything is pointless

I like listening to music to relax. Not just any music, but songs that evoke feelings or bring up happy memories. I like the music that was being put out when I was young and had no responsibilities. Helps me to feel free. I also suggest you plan something for yourself that you can look forward to. Something small is less stressful. Walking or dancing by yourself is also helpful.
