Hello

[sweetholls]

Hi there,

I keep trying to act as if i am fine even though i have so many symptoms of anxiety and get panick attacks; feel slightly better after joining here!

The worse feeling is the feeling of not being here (as if i am living a dream- does anyone else get that???)! It is so annoying as i get no pleasure from things anymore really as i dont think they are real!

I am constantly worrying about my health, future etc too. I dont know what started this all off. I think it stemmed from choking so bad that i couldnt breath......bring on the panick attacks everything else has just come after that! I think losing a family member perhaps made it worse too (you kinda lose confidence in things)!

I am really hoping for a bit of help & advice (like everyone is really).

Thanks guys :) x

Hi Sweetholls, :hugs:

:welcome: to NMP. It's great that you've joined. There is so much information & help here.

I also get the feeling of 'not being here' & 'as if I'm living in a dream'. It can be so annoying. I have read a lot about it which has helped. You will find a lot of information about it on here under 'Depersonalisation/Derealisation'. I keep reminding myself that it is just the bodies way of protecting itself from excess anxiety & will do me no harm.

I am so sorry to hear that you have lost a family member.

Best wishes xx :bighug1:
