Is this anxiety?

[jen2503]

Sometimes when i sit in the garden i feel as though im not actually there, if that makese sense. i know im there but i dont feel like i am. its not too bad when im indoors, only when im outside. as though the outside world is too big and i feel like im in a bubble. it makes me feel a little disorientated.

Is this a sympton of anxiety and if it is what sort of anxiety is it a symptom of? i have health anxiety but the last few days my health hasnt bothered me at all but now i have this. can anxiety changed to something else? another type of anxiety?

how can i get rid of this odd feeling when outside? i dont like it. it makes me want to run back inside where its safe.

This sounds like depersonalisation/derealisation, click on the link below and scroll down to the section about this and see if it sounds familiar.

That exactly what it is thank you Di, x

How do i get rid of it? do i just have to try and relax? will trying to ignore it work? ive heard that if you ignore these things they can go away, like floaters when you ignore them your brain stops noticing them, is that the same with this?

Its how i got rid of mine hun, i didn't fear it as i had to deal with it 20 years ago, so when it came back i ignored it and it eventually left me, don't fear it, they are just feelings.
