feelings of unreality

Okay so the NEW thing now that I feel/worry about is feelings of unreality. It feels as though there is no way that I MYSELF can be ALIVE. How Am I here? Almost as if I am over thinking life. Constantly questioning it. I'm not suicidal however I constantly think about dieing because I am so afraid of it. I'm scared that I am going to flip out and lose control because of the fact that ANY THING can happen and that we are only here in this world for a short period of time. I don't know. I keep over analyzing my family. Like I'll look at my mom and be like "that is so weird that she is my MOM." Or I'll look at my sister and be like "How can that really be my sister? She's related to me?" I know it's normal to sometimes think that life is weird (cus it is) But I'm getting very freaked out by it and its giving me major anxiety and its causing me to be lightheaded and have shortness of breath. Any suggestions ?

Hi Ry, I've read a few of your posts and can really relate to you on all of them. I have to stop my weird thoughts of universe and life b/c they just overwhelm me so much...so i end up feeling like i'm living in a foggy, surreal life.
and the fear of death has been my anxiety...cause or symptom??...i'm still not sure. but I'm so tired of living my life as though it's a Final Destination movie; like trying to guess what danger is lurking around every corner. i want to trust my own body & health and live in the moment...that's what i'm hoping to achieve...
