Hi Faustine Like a lot of people Anxiety gives you the feeling of living in a bubble, or like the world is just a big dream. Most of the time i feel that way but you will get days and weeks and even months where you wont have a day like this.

Also believe it or not i had tablets for my anxiety that made me feel that way.

This is the best advice i can give you, do not spend you life in your home. Not saying this is what your are doing but going out even just for a 10 minute walk will stat to bring back the felling of being on the ground.

I hope you are feeling a bit better.

Hey Faustine, One of the first symptoms of aniexty can be this feeling of floating and dreaming around the place, I know it feels very strange You are tackling it the right way, just try and ignore it and keep doing your normal day to day stuff, it will subside soon. And just like Trip says it can go away for ages then come back for wee while. Im living in dream land at the moment and havnt had any anxiety for 6/7 months! its just one of those annoying feelings that can take little time to get used to. But dont worry you will feel better soon. x x x x
