    Hi aimee86612, what your experiencing is Derealization/Depersonalization not harmful at all. But the things around you don't seem real or don't look real and you feel as if your in a dream and your body goes numb don't even recognize yourself. I have experienced the same thing it's from anxiety it's the brains natural response and maybe your medication needs an upper dosage. I have experienced this too and it's scary and not fun at all! But there is a name for it and I have read forums where others have experienced this too. Hang in there it will pass and if your medication needs upping then do that.

      Oh your welcome if you do feel it try to creep back in just remind yourself it's all part of anxiety and if things "seem" to look like a dream state and all just remind yourself everything is still the same nothing has changed nothing looks different I'm real everything around me is real and just take deep breaths and remind yourself your ok because you ARE ok. The mind is a powerful thing and likes to play tricks on us especially us with anxiety. If you need reassurance always come here we are here for you. I've been through depersonalization and derealization and I know how it feels.
