Hello everyone, I hope you've all been doing well. It's been awhile since my anxiety has acted up this badly, and while I know this isn't therapy, I was wanting to know of anyone else experiences any of this too. Lately, I've been constantly exhausted. I get a solid 8 hours of sleep, but when I wake up, I feel like I haven't slept in days. When my anxiety acts up, I have nightmares (mostly about my fears or things I've seen going on the news that scare me thinking they could happen to me or my family (car wrecks, break ins, ect.), so I'm always tired. And whenever I'm tired and my anxiety is acting up, I feel disconnected from everything because I'm constantly lost in my fears and thoughts. It's like I'm talking to someone, but I feel miles away because of my worries - almost like I'm talking and thinking of what to say through a thick layer of fog. It terrifies me and it's happened every time I'm really anxious so I know it's nothing new, but I just feel so sad over it. I want to live in the moment and think clearly, but it feels impossible right now... Does anyone else experience this or know of ways to help relieve this symptom?
yes i know the feeling, since my 20s . those anxiety symptoms including the fog feeling won’t hurt you. Yes it feels scary but is your brain‘s way of blocking things out so to protect you from anxiety.
key is just to relax your mind as much as possible to calm down everything.
great calming meditations on you tube for anxiety, sleep etc. the body scan ones are really relaxing!
you are going to be OK. you have to take control back. Right now. fear and Anxiety are controlling you.
the worst feeling is getting lost in horrible thoughts. get some ideas on how to overcome this also on you tube! ![]()
Hello, I am currently going through the same thing. My anxiety is so high over nothing. I have been been getting lots of panic attacks lately and it is hard to control. I feel detached and disconnected to the world, my family, and myself. It’s a 24/7 struggle. Just know you aren’t alone.
this is me currently, its scary to have these feelings honestly though i feel when i distract myself it eases up
