Hi, i have had bad anxiety from age 12 since my dad died.
I am now 19 and i feel i am ok at controlling it even though i still have my bad times.
But 3 weeks ago out of nowhere it got really bad and i couldn't control it, a week ago i went against my anxiety and managed to go to london then after that i was completely fine. But on monday it started again, i am scared its something different to anxiety.
When i am anxious i feel detached from everything and zoned out, i feel like that but in a different way, i look around and everything feels weird so i get more anxious.
I feel like i can't add up numbers in my head either and i don't know if that's because im focusing on doing it to prove to myself that i'm still sane.
I feel scared and my arms get this weird feeling and my throat does.
I know these weird sensations are anxiety but it's the weird detached feeling that is worrying me.
I just wondered if anyone has had something similar or could just help me feel at ease with it?
Thanks,
Sam
