    sounds like you are going through what is called de realization or depersonalization which is very common with anxiety and stress. it’s like a feeling of detachment. What’s happening is that your brain is trying to protect you from severe anxiety so it kind of blocks out the rest of the world which causes the weird feeling you are experiencing. It’s not harmful. But can feel scary.

    the feeling that something bad is about to happen is called feeling of impending doom. Also very common with stress and anxiety.

    Try to relax your mind as much as possible. Listen to some relaxing meditations for anxiety on YouTube a couple times a day. See if you can speak with a counselor who can help you manage this. you need support right now.

    Is there something going on in your life that’s causing you stress? Something that’s been building up?

    you Will be OK. Practice some long slow deep breathing for anxiety. I do hope you feel better soon
