Can you describe them? I'm not really sure what they are.

Thanks,

hi I have problems with unreality. You are in a daze and feel really spacey. Sometimes feels like you are in a dream. Things just doesn't seem like it used to, "not real". Some people get dizzy. When i get myself busy and not always noticing how thinigs don't feel right I don't really feel the spaciness.

I don't know if I explanied it that well. Some others might tell you what they experience. It is really common with anxiety.

I get the feeling of being 'spacey' or 'out there' and would have to say it is the most odd and difficult symptoms of my anxiety to explain. These symptoms tend to occur during disconnected moments. Either I am not task focused, or too much stimulation from my environment overwhelms me. A jumble of associations can occur, past memories, imagined future scenarios, and I find this can lead to escalation into full panic.

for me it's like everything seems unreal also like im in this wierd dream i cant wake out of nothing seems real i feel diconnected with myself and everything around me its a horrible feeling
it takes a few moments sometimes longer to sorta "snap out of it"
and i agree it can lead you into a full blown panic attack if you let it scare you
i woke up this morning feeling that way
and then of course my anxiety escalated and i became very shaky and on edge the rest of the day
for me my anxiety usally depends on what i feel like as soon as i crawl outta bed
if i feel "wierd" when i wake up it seems to linger almost all day

I feel weirdest when I'm in the middle of a conversation with somebody. I have a hard time looking them in the eye, and when i do, I think, "oh god am I looking at them weirdly?? Am i actually looking into their eyes properly? do I have a strange look on my face? Am I responding appropriately to what they;re saying?"
This is when i feel the most spaced out, i feel like I;m not real, like I could just float away. Or like I could tip over. I feel especially strange when I'm in a big group and we're all sitting around chatting. Like when I am at my boyfriend's family's for dinner...when we;re all sitting around the dinner table, i get super anxious, and i clam up, and I'm scared to even ask someone to pass the pepper. I feel so spacey, and light headed, and i can;t focus. If someone talks to me, and I respond, i wonder if words are even coming out of my mouth, i feel like its not really me speaking. I can't explain it, it sounds CRAZY!! Its how i feel though,..I never tell anyone about it, i feel like they'll think I"m insane. I just try to suck it up and deal with it. I talk to people when I have to, and i feel dizzy but i just try to quickly exit the conversation and move on. Its debilitating, its preventing me from forming meaningful relationships with people. I feel like I"ve cut people off, i feel like a hermit. I HATE IT!!! I want soooooooo badly to go out and make friends. I'm so jealous of my sister, she's so bubbly and friendly and independent. I"m rambling....
