Yes i have felt this way, are you drinking enough water? It may be hard but try to drink lots of water and eat something if you already havnt. This feeling is very scary, i hate it... and yes i believe it is possible to feel that spacey. If it gets the point where you cant calm yourself and you need some re-asurance or even a check-up by the doc then go to the doctor or ER, When i felt that way i went to the ER twice! It was terrrible but i felt much better afterwards

And i think the lack of food and water can contribute to everything your feeling. Thats why i drink a lot of water and really try to calm my mind so i can get a good meal in. Hope everything gets better, let me know

this is a symptom of isolation. depression and anxiety are the result of isolation. the trick is to get yourself out there no matter what you feel or think.

get yourself something to eat and drink and call a friend and go to a park and walk around.

to offset depression and anxiety, a person needs to greatly increase the amount of time out in nature and being around good people. too much isolation is not healthy.

Yes I have to agree with faithful! I make myself go outside and watch the kids play, or anything I have to do to keep myself busy. It's so hard sometimes to make myself do something and sometimes I do feel spacey when I'm out doing things! :( I just keep telling myself that I'm ok, there is no danger to be hyped up about, and I just keep telling myself that over and over!! :( It's really hard, but you have to push through those feelings!!
