Hi I suffer with very bad health anxiety and recently I keep staring in to thin air all the time it's driving me mad! I can still hear everything around me and I can get myself out of it but it seems to happen a lot and gives me headaches, does anyone else get this with anxiety?

      I know I feel that everyone just thinks we make it all up! But it's so so real and very scary, really wish it would be taken more seriously.

    I get this and I rub my knees or play with my hands without noticing unless someone points it out my anxiety stems from childhood trauma so it may have been a coping mechanism to nervousness and stress that I've just stuck with
