Hi Zobo.

Welcome and lets hope you find some comfort and reassurance in the replies you receive.

I think you'll find most of the people on here have experiences some or all of the symptoms you mention. Your not going insane you in a state of anxiety.

I can relate totally with not recognising yourself in the mirror. for a few weeks, during the early stages of my anxiety, I was convinced I was someone else I did not recognise the person looking back at me and thought I was going mad. Even now some days I avoid mirrors as much as I can.

Anxiety has so many weird symptoms it just keeps throwing at us, you just have to remember that is all it is... another symptom. once you can accept that it takes some of the fear away. Its not easy and it wont happen over night but stay strong.
