Hi
Over the past couple of weeks I have been feeling quite anxious, particularly spaced out. Today I worked from home as our office had some builders in. I had a totally irrational thought and went into a HUGE panic attack. I felt so wierd though, wierder than I have felt before, has anyone experienced this, is this panic?
I felt totally spaced out, I felt like I was in a tunnel and the world was getting further and further away from me. My head felt heavy and I felt dizzy but it was the tunnel feeling which totally scared me. The other symptoms I have had before but not the tunnel one. I felt like I was going to get trapped in my own mind and then not be in touch with the world and end up alone and lost. I was so scared. I was trembling, couldn't concentrate, i found it hard enough to locate my phone which was in front of me, nothing felt real. I called my cousin, went outside to get some air but the feeling wouldn't go. I felt so trapped because I felt I couldn't be alone yet felt I couldn't go anywhere. I called a cab and managed to get to my cousins,a 40 minute car journey.
I am soooo scared and the biggest thing I am scared about is losing control in my mind and getting lost and being alone and I am also scared of dying and going mad.
I keep thinking it will get better but what if it doesn't what if it gets worse and my fears come true.
