Anxiety like your having a out of body experience?
Yes this is what's known as derealization/depersonalization. It's a symptom that occurs sometimes with anxiety. You feel trapped and like an alien in your own body. You become to self aware of yourself. You're not alone. Many of us with anxiety have experienced this.
All you can do is allow it to be and it'll pass on its own. I know that doesn't sound pleasant and the symptoms are very scary and disturbing. Try practicing meditation and mindfulness (living in the now). Stay strong and don't let anxiety win.
Thank you Dnel, it’s just scary like I feel like I’m dying without trying to panic. I had a very good and productive day and somehow this just likes to show up and ruin before the day is over. I try to not panic but it is hard and I end up panicking- I really appreciate your words.
Hi mz_rachel,
This is common with anxiety Check out the resources on my profile. All touch upon this feeling. My favorite is Claire Weekes, the 1st video I have listed. Your nervous system is just sensitized right now, that's all. Dnel82 is absolutely correct- ignore this symptom. It is just another symptom, completely harmless. You can function just fine when it happens- just carry on with what you are doing and pay it no mind
YES. I thought i was going tots mad. Was also losing weight and had horrible dark thoughts. Eventually have blood test..... over active thyroid. Check it with your doc darlin please.
Thinking of you
