Detachment...help!

[aquamarinearies]

Was wondering if any of you who are going through anxiety experience a weird feeling like a memory gap... Like you try to remember things or imagine and u can't really see it like you used to when anxiety was gone... I also feel unreal and so detached from my surroundings... Does anyone feel this way?

Hi , I know exactally what you mean , I get the same feelings .
I feel like I'm in a dream and I feel my memory is very bad , I look at photos & I can not believe it is me & how fast time has gone , it doesn't feel real sometimes .
When I feel like this I begin to feel very panicky , I have to be really firm with myself in my own head , I tell myself it is just anxiety & not to let it take over me , it's very hard & sometimes I end up in a mess , panic attacks all day & intense fear that can't really be explained .
I didn't know untill I read posts on hear that this feeling we are getting is common with anxiety , it is the worst feeling in the world , you just have to strictly tell yourself that it is ONLY A FEELING , much easier said than done .

Thank you!! Its getting better, but the weird gap in my thinking is freaking me out... I also get these times of negativity that's really scary and this detachment has been going on for months.. But it's slowly getting better.
