Anyone feel weird ALL THE TIME?

Hello everyone,
Just want to know whether anyone else here feels strange 100% of the time? I know that when you have panic attacks you can get numbness and tingling and headache......... but i seem to have it most of the time, pretty much all day. I just feel like im in a dream all the time, im scared all the time, does anyone else get this?
I took myself into ER earlier today in the hope that someone could help but they didnt even examin me, they just said to go home and calm down, why cant they just reassure me? Am i really going crazy?
Thnks again.

Feeling "strange, not with it, day dreaming, unreal like in a dream" is called derealization. It is very common within people who suffer with anxiety. And the only way to overcome it, is to accept these strange feelings. Your brain is doing this as it cannot cope with more worry and stress. And the more you stress the more it will stay around. Take it from someone who suffers from it. A blocked nose is a symptom of a cold, this is simply a cold of anxiety. And the more you just think ya know what who cares if I feel wierd and not there because nothing ever happens anyway, the quicker your brain will realise you don't need it there. Buy a book called "at last a life" by paul david. Helps me so much and I would highly recommend it!! Hope this helps xx

A horrible feeling that comes in waves that you can't even describe is so descriptive if you know what I mean.  I have such weird symptoms in my head.  Sometimes it feeels like everything has stopped or I get a jolt or get dizzy and always scared stiff.
