Yes that is a normal feeling people with anxiety get. When I'm overwhelmed and stressed out at times, I will feel that way. I generally accept it for what it is, and know that it usually won't pass until I just take a nap or go to bed.

Yes I actually felt this way when I woke up this morning and still kind of do. I also feel like maybe I have died or I'm going crazy. It's very frightening. It usually helps me a little to talk to my bf or friends.

yes, that is very possible and happens to many anxiety sufferers. That is one of my main dilemmas  I think from all i have been reading and noticing in myself that our mind works like a wheel we can think a hundred things a minute but the minute something unpleasant scary or uncomfortable crosses our mind we grab on to it and hold on tight. Our bodies react to those thoughts and put us in a hightened state of awareness.

we notice every feeling, thought, fear, past events, that might pop in our head and put us into that feeling of detatchment and unreality and this circle hell of thinking. When we can stop and notice that we are thinking, use some good self talk, thoughts are a tool like our hands and feet and are ours to use as we choose. There is a great book, taming your gremlin, that helps identify these thoughts gone wild. There are other books I like those by Eckhart Tolle that helps identify thought and how to focus on the now and not the world of the mind. I am making great progress in this area. It is not unusual or permanent.
Hope this helps,
Donna

OMG, I do that often. It freaks me right out. I will be in the car with my hubby or something and I completely blank and think exactly that "am I really here right now doing this?" It feels like a dream and you are almost watching yourself. I am not sure if its normal or not but wanted to let you know that you are not alone as I have it happen often!!!
