Yes. It's called depersonalization. Very common symptom of anxiety disorders. It happens to me all the time particularly when I'm tired or right after a really stressful few days. Google it and you'll see your not alone.

Yes. When my anxiety first came on at 18, that was the WORST feeling ever. I hated it and could not get rid of it for weeks. I know exactly what you are going through. Unfortunately, this feeling just has to go away on its own, you cannot "calm" yourself down from it or breathe in 2 and out 4 like Lucinda says for the attack. I'm sorry you feel it too. Good luck.
