Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

I think I am going insane. I am really scared. I feel weird. I feel like im dreaming and its really scary. I feel like i can't remember anything. And i don't feel like me. I hate this. I hope im not going crazy. I hope this is just anxiety, because it's really scary feeling this way. I really need someone to talk to...Has anyone else ever felt this way? and im also spacey too...
I hope im not psychotic... I'm really scared.

Yes. You are going to be OK. There are many, many posts exactly like yours. It is how your body reacts to the excess adrenaline flowing. It will subside and your body does take over. Just let it pass and focus on relaxing. Take some deep calming slow breaths, and rate how you feel on a scale form 1-10.

I do progressive muscle relaxation and it really helps.

I PROMISE you that you are not going insane. The fact that you are even thinking or worrying about that issue means you are very sane.

Read some facts about anxiety and panic on this site and you will feel much better! www.paniccure.com. There are cartoons that will make you smile:-)

I have had that too, and its from when you are, what I call, "overloaded" with anxiety. Its a horrible feeling, but it will go away. I don't know if you are taking anything or not, but when mine was really bad, I went to dr and got on zoloft and ativan and that feeling went away in about a week. ((hugs))

I still feel this way.
I really don't know what to do.

I get like that too. I reach out to people to make sure I'm still ok. But if they are not available sometimes I say aloud "I'm OK I'm just panicking." But a nice hot cup of chamomile tea sometimes does the trick (with a dash of honey).
you will be ok...Lotsa hugs sent your way

Try not focusing on the feeling. When I get really anxious I color or play solitaire and sometimes count backwards from 100 by 3s or 4s so that you have to focus on something else.....
