could this just be my anxiety?

[Lindsey14]

I haven't felt like myself for a bit, i sometimes feel like a stranger to myself. And i get distant with people i care about sometimes. I also get where I feel emotionally numb, or I don't feel things on a big emotional level. Sometimes that's makes me heartless or crazy. I over think like crazy as well. Could this all be my anxiety?

Hello Lindsey14

Thanks for your message . I am so sorry you are feeling like this, it could be increased anxiety due to your situation. You will be feeling this as you are away from home. When you return in August things may improve.

It may be worth trying to explain how you feel to some of the people you mention.

You may also want to see a doctor while you are away. They may be able to help.

Could you tell us more about what is happening as our members are very supportive .

The crisis helplines are listed in the pinned posts.

Please keep us updated.

Best wishes

Hi I guess it could be. However I don't really suffer much from anxiety but depression and I could have written your post.

Do you think your mind is dissociating to prevent you from feeling too much pain? My childhood school reports were full of comments about day dreaming. Well it wasn't that but my mind drifting off to protect itself from hell. x
