is this true ?

hi im 16 years old and have suffered from anxiety since my dad died in 2001. i dont know what my problem is to be honest it is hard to explain but i will try. My head keeps telling me that there is more than one world and i have to touch things 5 times if not i go into this other world where everything is the same but only i can tell the difference. i know there is only one world and i have spoke to my family about this and they have told me its all in my head. i have times where i suddenly panic thinking i am in this different world when really im not because THERE IS ONLY ONE WORLD! i dont know how else to recover from this? i just keep telling myself its all in my head but then i start worrying about it again. any suggestions/comment would be helpful.

thanks

Liam :weep:

you are dead right for most of us their is just one world - but I 've heard about something that makes you feel disassociated - this might be your prob - have you talked to your doc? you are v. young try to get it sorted!

WOW!

I was just thinking about this the other day! SO FREAKY! I guess us anxiety suffers really make us think these thoughts. If you want to talk more about this just message me or something?
