feelings of not really being here

[E99]

Hi i am new to this, since having a bit of a panic attack on wednesday, i have been feeling really strange, like i am not really here, like i am on auto pilot and as if something terrible is going to happen to me but i don't know what.. i feel like i am going to go crazy :(

Hi E

Just to say I have exactly the same thing, depersonalisation its called. Word has it its related to anxiety and it's your brains way of protecting you. Its horrible but not harmful. The more you think about it the worse it becomes so try although its very difficult to let it flow over you.

Thanks its good to know someone else is feeling the same, its like i am carrying on as normal but i really don't feel normal :( i don't know wether to go to my gp about it or what but i feel like i am gonna go crazy...
