Is this just anxiety?

[LiveAboveIt]

I'm not really sure how to explain this.. I've been suffering from pretty severe anxiety lately.. A lot of intrusive thoughts and just general fear that I can't do anything about. It feels like something is wrong, but I can't figure out what and my brain is scrambling to find a reason or understand. I can't seem to shut this off. It leaves me with this really confused feeling, like I'm not really alive and that I could do crazy at any moment. It's really hard to describe because it feels very deep in my mind and not just on a surface level.

Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Can anxiety cause these strange feelings of confusion?

A sense of dread is very common with anxiety. You feel like something bad is going to happen to you all the time and you don't know why. Not feeling alive is also common. It's known as depersonalization - where you just don't feel real or connected to the world. I used to have that quite a bit.
