Does anyone else constantly feel weird even without the panic attack? I feel weird all the time like I'm not me? Anyone else feel this way and if you do what do you mean by the saying 'feeling weird'

      Jmcg2014 may I ask what you mean by strange.

      I know what normal feels like and this is not even close. I have had health anxiety probably my whole life but not like this in many years.

      It's amazingly common with anxiety, its typically called depersonalisation or derealisation. It's harmless,not indicative of anything, and does pass when the anxiety passes. It's a horrific symptom through

    It depends on what you mean by weird. That's actually how I have described my anxiety without panic. Just extremely uneasy all the time. Kinda of like butterfly feeling all over my body, my head feels weird your whole body just feels strange very distressing.

    Yep. Like brain fog all the time. Detached from reality. Looking at everything like it's not really there. Who am I? Who are they? What the hell IS this? Those type of feelings. Pretty much 24/7.

      I'm not sure to be honest as I have anxiety and depression. But I think my depression is a result of the narrowing of my world due to anxiety and low self esteem. It is a vicious cycle so it's really hard to pick out the start and the result. It just spins on! I should probably take medication but I find that puts me in another bubble altogether!
