First off, I'm new to the forums, and want to say hi.
I am a 23 year old guy and for the past four years have been struggling with what, until recently, I did no know to be anxiety.
My symptoms never seem to be overly emotional, more physical as far as I can tell. On a daily basis I will get heart palpitations and chest pain (recently found out its an arrhythmia), but this gets worse because of anxiety attacks and what not. The weirdest part for me is that I often feel like I'm losing touch with reality, especially if I try to relax and calm down. I can be sitting, and everything will start getting warped and distorted in my vision. Does anyone else get this? Is this something thats from anxiety?
Also, I find myself over thinking everything. For example, I will be doing something familiar to me, and suddenly, I feel like I'm not me, like I'm living in a dream and everything is foreign. Its a scary feeling. Sometimes I worry that I'm going crazy. How do I know that this truly is anxiety?
