HELP! I'm feeling terrible right now. Everything feel TOO real and no matter what I do its not helping. I'm smelling things that aren't really there and I can FEEL all the things around me inside of me. The ceiling looks like it's a lot shorter than before or I feel taller. I feel empty inside but at the same time I'm overwhelmed by how real or unreal everything is. It's like a sensory overload! And sometimes I can feel my heart pumping through my body. I'm at school right now and just want to get outside for some fresh air and just to be outside because I think it would help. I've tried my coping skills but none of them are working. Eeep Help! Has anyone else felt like this and if so, what did you do? Especially if it's in a place like school where you're stuck there and can't leave to go outside! GAH

" If you're at school, just excuse yourself like you're going to the bathroom. Then walk to the bathroom and stand out side for a little bit before walking back. Before I dropped out, that's what I did when my fear/paranoia got bad and I couldn't stand being around people anymore. Also try washing your face with cold water. "

" Thanks for the answers guys. I think I'm gonna try the bathroom thing cuz our bathrooms have big windows that smokers usually use but I'll use em for crazy-ness :P. And I'm a schizoaffective with depression. And I might try to look at the clouds more, or take a bubble bath ~w~. I sure hope I don't do worse in school cuz of this because I only happens in school. And gee I sure hope I don't drop out of school. >. "
