When someone asks you your name, phone number or other personal information, does it ever sound or look strange. Like I can always remember it, but it often never sounds right and I have a difficult time associating myself with...well me. Is this part of anxiety?

For the past week I've been feeling really strange. My home feels very unfamiliar to me and so does my neighborhood when I'm outside or just looking out the window.

I've been taking ativan for about a month now. I have only been on .5mg a day and sometimes only .25mg. Can I still get withdrawal symptoms from taking such a low dose? I want to go off because lately it doesn't seem to be working anymore or makes my anxiety worse. Today I haven't taken any and feel...

I also have times when things don't look familiar to me or seemed to be turned around. It's very scary and unsettling. I have these i...

It all started with 2 panic attacks, one where it felt like I had no control over my eye movements...like they couldn't decide where they wanted to look. The other time I was driv...
