The thoughts I get.

What is life?

What am I? 

What is this I'm living?

Who am I? 

Who are these people who are my family?

I've lost all rationality....

I've lost my self....

I can't go on....

Then it's like it all clicks into place, I've just woken up to the fact this life isn't real...

I'm so scared of these thoughts and feelings I feel I can't carry on....

Then I get intense fear and madness rush through me.

I also feel very spaced out alot of the time and in my own little world.

When I'm anxious the feelings are unbearable to the point I've tried to section myself, life is unbearable.

    Hello smile

    It's very common to feel like that during anxiety it's called derealization what you are feeling harmless but scary

      I've always been an anxious introvert but never thought I'd actually go insane... just thought I was unique.

      I was the same with depression I thought nothing can be as bad as that, Ive struggled with it for many years had good and very bad times but in the whole managed to hold down a job and keep a roof over my head, but anxiety, ive had it 3 months and Ive had to quit my job because I cant function with it.

      But what Im doing now is trying to now is learning to live with it

      One thing I have noted is if I'm in extream calm my kind feels like it can cope... but never last that long... usually when I wake up in the morning I'm more grounded. After my minds rested.

      Anxiety can and does lead to depression which accesses you to more symptoms and oddities. Hopefully you have a counselor to guide you through all this and if needed perscribe medications.

      You can't go insane.  You just need to break the "brain lock" of anxiety.  What are you doing to deal with you anxious thinking?

      are you seeing things or hearing things that are not there?  If not, then they won't prescribe you antipsychotics. Maybe antidpressants and anti-anxiety meds?

      Meditation doesn't work for everyone and is said to make derealization worse
