another world

[caseman]

does anyone ever feel like all the sudden they just snapped into another world and everything changes. like u just feel different and like its all the sudden a different life because i was just invited to my friends house to jam for a little bit and i started to have anxiety and a really nervous stomach and i know thats all anxiety but then i just like snapped into a different perspective of things its prob. just my mind trying to play tricks on me and egt me to not go to my friends house but nonetheless its damn scary and is that just the unreality thing or what any input would be great thanx - Caseman

hey case yea sounds like areally bad case of unreality it changes from time to time i had that same thought before in an episode i felt like the world had defentily changed in my eyes but like you said its just your mind playing tricks on you did you go? i hope you did i know thats a big way i got ova the unreality thingswasi just saidfuck it i'm doin wut i want and i kno wut reality is i mean i know everything looks different but look harder and everything is the same as its always been and thats how i worked through that part of my anxiety everytime it happened i'd just look harder and realize life has always look the same its just a really uneasy feelin all i can say is your not crazy and your not goin crazy your anxiety is at it peak point right now so the only way for you to go is the right way up so look at it thatway man hang in there it won't last trust me it does go away i went through it and man did it suck but you know what i'm stronger now and i appreciate life so much ore now because i've ben to hell and back and the journey sucks but in the end all of us who suffer have a new found love for life becuase we know what its like feel out of place and disconnected from the world take it easy man and look at the sky once and awhile it helps puts everything in perspective good luck man stay strong

yep i can understand this

I just went to the pub to see chelsea vs barcalona, (great game btw) and i was fine there with me and 1 friend. I text messaged another friend to get him to come and then my world went upside down and i started to worry. I wasnt drinking cos i drove and i just had to concentrate on the football match to keep my cool ( i love going to the pub to watch sport cos if i focus on sport my anxiety goes away). When this other guy arrived instantly I was fine again

WIERD!

Hey Casey - I agree with Leftie and Scatmantom. That has happened to me many times. I'm just doing whatever and feel fairly ok, and then an invite or something I don't expect comes up, nothing big, like need to go to the store for something and I start to feel weird - not high anxiety, but more like disoriented. Things look different visually, hard to explain...light starts to bother my eyes and even though everything is the same it seems different. That starts the anxiety which then hits my stomach and I feel nauseous and dizzy; and if I keep rolling with it, I end up panicking if I don't stop myself.

It's anxiety - anticipatory anxiety. I've had anxiety a billion times, but I tell myself when I start to feel weird that it's anxiety unless I have a temperature. I have to keep reassuring myself over and over, and it goes away.

I use to wear out those digital thermometers, and always kept one in my purse!

It's anxiety, babe. Simple put, but terribly scary :( .
