Has anybody had strange feelings. It's hard to explain. I feel like i'm standing still and everything around me is going by really fast. I feel like i'm spacing out all the time. Sometimes it's been so bad that it's made me sick. I just can't think straight. All my thoughts are racing and I can't get them to stop. It's been so bad that i'm having a lot of trouble sleeping and that's not helping matters. I'm starting to get really scared about things and I don't know what to do or how to make it stop. I'm not on any new med's so it really can't be that. Sometimes it's so bad that I have to cut and I just can't stop crying. I want to call my counselor but i'm afraid what he'll say. Please someone help me I just don't know what to do if I can't get this to stop

Strange Feelings...

Anxiety can bring with it symptoms that run the gammit that feel very strange....If it is truly anxiety it is a symptom of something else that worries you ... I am sure life feels hard to cope with for you at times.You sound overwhealmed to say the least..I can relate....Hopefully you have someone to talk with a professional that can help you feel less afraid...
Slow deep breathing is very helpful....Be your own nurturer and tell yourself that you will be ok and beleive!!!! Cafine is out too ... That ads to it...Good nutrition will help too and from my experience you are not getting enough oxegen when you are afraid and breathe fast or halting breaths ...This creates more anxiety symptoms..Are there many things that you are afraid of right now that could possibly be manifesting this way.... I do hope you did not say..... Cut.....Is that how you feel.. Please care enough to recieve counceling there is soooo much hope for you...Really...Things can get better :) good luck to you
