Grrr, I felt so well last night, then I woke up feeling all panicky, and went into town to get a few bits... Stood in the centre of town, people bustling, hallogen lighting - Felt like I was fading away right then and there. People were a blur, my brain was resetting itself every few seconds, I could barely see, I was shaking and felt so distant and detached, I really thought that was the moment - that I was either going to faint, im/ex plode or some such or just go absolutely insane... I looked my fiance straight in the face and he looked so distant and unreal... I walked into the place where I work and I just couldn't stay, the placeI spent half my life suddenly seemed horrific and alien. I got back to the car, my hands were tingling, my sight was spacing out and my chest was painful and tight, I could hardly breathe...
It felt like the worst thing ever! I nearly didn't drive home, but I had to in the end, but God knows how I made it...
Rocksy this is so well put and i really feel for you though im sorry to say but it is a comfort for me to know that i am not the only one who experiences this feeling.
I get these attacks everytime i am under stress and it scares the crap out of me. I feel like im losing control and am going to start screaming and go insane. It truely is frightening. I had one just last night as my parents are seperating at the moment and i cant handle it.....i called my doctor and couldn't get him on the phone so my brother came down and sat with me until midnight.
When you said everything feels alien....this is exactly how i feel. One minute im in my house feeling fine then i am frightened of being alone and i dont know where to go or what to do....i feel so out of control that i fear for my safety .....from myself.
I hate these attacks and i just want you to know that your not alone and i hope you dont experience another one anytime soon.
Take care
