Ok, let me try to explain how I feel. About 3 weeks ago I stressed over a few things going on in my life. One of them instantly put me in a funk. I wasn't hungry, couldn't sleep and started to feel depersonalized, or derealized is more like it.
Since then I have had very few up days most being very anxious days. I had a few panic type attacks during this time. I now feel afraid of going outside even though I do. My mind races with all kinds of terrible thoughs and there are times I feel like I am going to lose it.
I've been though stuff like this before, as recently as last year. Its tough dealing with this crap everyday. It usually burns itself out after a month or so but there are days when I am absolutely terrified and knowone can see it because it is all inside of me. Is this anxiety or am I going crazy? Can it lead to a serious depression or other sickness? I hear about nervous breakdowns and people going mad and it scares me.
I have this nervous feeling in my gut that doesnt help either. I am usually a very strong and confident person but this really shakes my confidence.
