HI, i have weird dreams every night and some times i feel like my life is a bad dream. i hate that feeling of waking up but still feel like im dreaming. some times i think that my dreams are my real life and life is a dream if that makes sence. i think with all the anxiety i have is where this all comes from x

The fear of going mad is common among anxiety sufferers but the feeling you're describing sounds like derealisation. I get it a lot too and it is a well known symptom of anxiety. The truth is, everybody occasionally experiences the feeling the world or themselves is unreal, or they are in a dream. The difference with anxiety sufferers is that they focus on that sensation and worry about it, prolonging the time they feel it. Best way to get over thesis to try and stop thinking about it!

Yes! i sometimes wonder if i'm already mad, and that i'm looking back, perhaps in a home on my old life.. or that i'm just a total fantasist and the life i lead now isn't real. I feel down all the time. x
