One of my symptoms I've noticed is sometimes, the best way for me to describe it, is like the Truman show....like if I look at the sky and start to panic, "what if I'm just "stuck" here", "what if everything I believe might not be true (I do believe in God, go to Church, and love God with all my heart)", almost like I start to feel clausterphobic in a way, or feel like an "alien" or "robot" in away, like no purpose or what's the purpose?.....does ANYONE else ever feel anything remotely similar to this? I desperately don't want to be the only one to feel like this.

Oh, I get those feelings a lot! You're not alone. It is a rather bizarre feeling indeed! 
There are so many mysteries out there to be discovered...how can one not wonder, "Who am I?" and "How did I get here?".
The more scientists uncover...it can really get freaky. But I think it helps to "be still" and talk to people you trust and that have always been there for you and are stable.
You're not alone and you do have a purpose, this I know in my heart to be true. Your unsettling feelings are common occurances to many people throughout the world. We have every reason to feel a bit uneasy living in the world we live in. It isn't always a pretty place to be in. People are mean, the weather isn't very kind either, bad things happen to good people.
All you can do is have faith that you weren't just thrown here on earth to weather it all alone. We are a highly and specifically designed organism/human being with a soul. And since we are so specialized in design and intellect, that means there is someone even more specially designed and refined to take care of us.
So be of good cheer and have peace. Just know that our minds are creative and full of wonder and imagination that can give us much happiness and also much turmoil. You just have to find balance in what you are adding to those creative thoughts. Which I know can be very hard.
