What am i

[Abeechx]

Does anyone ever get these weird feelings like- what am I ?? Why am I here? What is this all about? Is this real? Why do I breathe and see out of these eyes?
Am I having a break down? I don't get what is happening

I get this often, but mostly it passes quite quickly. I get those same thoughts that I cannot answer, and an intense sudden realisation that I don't really know anything. I don't think it's too uncommon

I get that, too. I find that it often goes hand in hand with feelings of derealisation and panic.

I also get similar thoughts. I start to look at the bigger picture and it all starts to feel really surreal, which then makes me fear that everything is a figment of my imagination. I think many people have thoughts such as "we're just chemical reactions" or "we're stuck on a world which is spinning in space" but they don't fear these thoughts, they're more amazed by them. As anxiety/OCD sufferers the awe that normal people feel turns to fear as we continue to ruminate. I guess a good way to tackle it is to just accept that the world is a surreal place but that we're lucky to be part of it. There's not much else one can do...
