Oh you are not crazy trust me.

It is a common symptom of Anxiety, I have experienced it several times over the years.

Your GP and any Psychiatrist will confirm this.

Good luck xx

Thank you. I keep obsessing over it

Lovely to see you replying anxiousgirl7 :-)

I know that feeling only to well and Bird-67 is right in her reply , but it feels like you are not part of this world even like wondering are you from another planter because you feel so disconnected from the real world but that is anxiety and it does get better , try and accept these episodes and the will pass :-)

Take Care x

Thank you :) have you personally gone through this? It’s tough....

Thanks for your kind words

Yes I have , honestly in fact this last week I have very much felt like it , it happens usually when our anxiety is at is highest , I sometimes think even though it feels frightening it is like a coping thing because our anxiety is getting so high it is like our brains need a rest and they shut down a little which gives you this feeling ( if this makes any sense )

The more we fear it though it lingers so even though I still don't like the feeling I go with it and it passes :-) x

I've suffered from that it's the most horrible feeling like "am I really hear" so I do understand what you are going through

It is a very common symptom if anxiety as Bird -67 says I believe it is called de personalisation No you are not crazy at all

Have a look online I'm sure there must be lots of advice on it

Take care and remember we are here and you are not alone 😊
