[](im 16 years old and i dont know whats going on with me but for my whole life i have been suffering from anxiety . and this past year it got worst to the point where i started developing weird symtoms and i linked it to real life diseases like MS or something. i did this for about a couple months until maybe around december i had a huge panic attack. and basically i was walking to my class and while jn the hallway i was blacking out and building up panic and then i just felt so weird that all whole . it felt like my soul or my body is asleep or else where whike im here . its febuary now and i feel so bad . like its to the point where i dont feel like im living my life anymore. like im someone and somewhere else . and what makes it worse is that i get weird physical sensations like for example me today .basically i would be doing anything and then i feel like the surroundings around me arent real and are see through like i can wave my hand through peopke and not feel anyrhing. and that also adds onto my stress because now im question life and reality itself and no docter or anyone has answers . and im questioning where i am . im questioning what is this place , why i am suffering and it dosent add up . i feel like im slipping away

    I dont have the answer James but i am familiar with the same feeling of stress and anxiety. I constantly worry about every physical symptom i get, joint pain, stomach pain, back ache etc. I google everything and then worry myself sick about what google says it could be. I have had numerous tests and everything has come back clear which is reassuring but also annoying because surely these feelings cant just be stress and anxiety. Have you spoke to your doctor or anyone about how youre feeling?

    Hi, i'm 17 and I have the similar experience. My anxiety was so bad to the point that I had sleeping tremors and one time I felt like the ground was shaking underneath me. I even had panic attacks and thought that every symptoms I had was linked to epilepsy. As to the not feeling like your surroundings are real, I think you might be talking about derealization. I only learned about it by searching in Google and I think that might help in describing your situation. I know it gets really really bad... but I hope everything will turn out fine. Surround yourself with the people you love, that's what I do and it makes it better 😃)
