I was just sitting around and then thought "What if I am DREAMING? How do I know? How do I wake up?" Sounds sooo crazy but really scared me! I hate when I have random thoughts. Now I am over analyzing and have my anxiety and panic! Has anyone brought panic on by this thought? I hate feeling alone. Please let me know if you have .... URRGG.

I had that. I remember it distinctly. It progressed to the level where I wondered if I would be able to tell the difference. But it is just a scary thought.

Hey, not to worry, went thru that many, many times... thought I was really NUTS. You are just so overloaded with with stress. That's it! It will pass. I promise. Hang in there and don't fight it. Rest easy.

I think I know what you are talking about. I've had feelings of "unreality" come over me. Like I will be sitting in church and then I feel like the people around me are not real and I have to get out. It's a weird feeling.

Apparently, its not a big deal and it happens to people with alot of stress.

I scare myself like that too....Ill get weird random thoughts and then think, oh my god....Im crazy because I cant control these weird things going on in my head. Other times I will get feelings where things around me might not be real and i feel like my feet aren't touching the floor.

I wonder if when I di, I will feel like it's a dream. Then I really scare the hell out of myself thinking I might not feel anything, nothing would be there, it would be like I was asleep but not even dreaming. I never thought about dying until my Dad died when I was 24. Now when I'm really down, that smacks me upside the head on top of the depression and it all seems futile sometimes. All I can do is tell myself to stop thinking about it. Eventually I go to sleep and am usually fine the next day. But this has been going on for 12 years at least 3 or 4 times a year.
