When saying or writing down your personal info.

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?

I have never had that particular thing happen to me as far as dissociation with myself but i have had feelings like my head felt spacey and felt like i was out of my body looking in. Its called derealization. It comes from anxiety. I know it may sound weird but its amazing what our mind can do to us. Also with anxiety or body produces adrenaline like it would it we were attacked or pumped up by something. That also makes us feel funny. Hope that helps a little.

Hi Kellyz-

I think that sometimes too. Sometimes you will say a word repeatedly and it just starts to sound odd. I'd let it go and not worry about it. No harm can come from having that look or sound strange. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
