is this feeling normal?

Is it normal to feel not all there in the head when you are suffering from anxiety? Like you don't feel like yourself anymore and you feel weird all the time? x

I just had my 3rd CBT session last night, we tried the self hypnosis thingy that they do. unfortunately I wasn't able to fall deep into the hypnosis stage as he would have liked. I think it has something to do that i'm more of a Math/Science type person.

But he said I should practice and it will help me relax deeper each time. Not gonna lie, i felt kinda good driving home yesterday. It was pretty relaxing.

Jut got back from my CBT session...it seemed to go ok, but i felt really odd when i was talking to her, like i'm not all there! :''-( I hate feeling like this. I am just so convinced there is something else wrong with me...i can't go out without feeling like people are looking at me and thinking i've got some sort of mental problem...i feel like i am going insane :'''-(

Thanks for your replies.

I have my first Cognitive Behavioural Therapy session tomorrow, and so scared i am not going to be able to talk to her as i just feel like i can't even communicate to anyone anymore as i feel so strange!

I am hoping my new antidepressants will start working too. x

Anxiety has many faces. The other day I was biking and all of a sudden I didn't feel like myself. I also felt light as a feather.. like i was about to float away in the wind.

Completely. And you are NOT alone. It's easier said than done, bu when it is someone else, I'll try to help. Try to do anyting that makes you feel more like yourself, and/or to get your mind off what ever is making you feel anxious.
