Not really. Sometimes think I`ve been born in the wrong era tho!

I dont but in the height of anxiety I feel like Im not in my body if you know what I mean

[Hidden]

I do! But then anxiety isn't an adequate term to describe my inner world,

Just a manifestation of it. I do feel like an alien on a strange planet though

[Pickle165 in reply to Hidden]

Hey Sam, We're a similar age (assuming 1981 is ur birth year) I relate to what you're saying completely. When I have a blip (I am trying not to see this as a relapse) like I am at the moment I feel like I was put together differently to the rest of the world.

I'm sitting here on my laptop with shaky hands and my mind racing at 100 mph, and that's after I have taken my Quetiapine. I have only really suffered from life changing anxiety for the last year and a half - I have been well for quite some time but have hit a bump in the road. As hard as it is I try to tell myself that although I am wired differently I am not alone, and being wired differently helps me relate to people with similar symptoms to me and perhaps the one thing I can do is share my journey with others to help them feel less like they're aliens.

My depression has been a direct result of the Anxiety - for me this is so obvious. I don't have depressed thoughts unless my anxiety is high. I had a course of CBT which was great and it's helped me understand my feelings when they're happening alas I am not good at recognising when I am burnt out.

Much love
