yeah i've had that feeling before. last year i was having really bad anxiety and depression and i walked around feeling like nothing was real, like it was all an illusion and i felt like i was totaly alone and/or going crazy. really what helped me was talking to someone. at first i felt like nothing i said was making any sense, and i didn't know what to say but after a while it made me feel a lot better and more there to be able to talk to someone i cared about

Oh yes I've had that. It's just your brain "fogging out" a little when it feels overwhelmed. It's actually a protective measure your brain takes. It feels weird but it won't hurt you. Sometimes when I feel like that I do like Ciara. . . I try to talk to someone or do something simple like doing laundry. It makes me feel more grounded and I feel better. Mostly now I just ignore it, tell myself it's "just anxiety" and wait for it to go away.

<span class="ev_code_BROWN">I had that kind of feeling one day. It scared the bejibbers out of me. I was so afraid I would never get back to normal. I fear that I am not safe while in the "zone out". Like I could do something harmful. Oh not suicide but something stupid that could cause a n injury. Such as not paying close enough attention to the knife when you are cutting up veggies or some such thing.I though I was coming down with Alzymers.

I am doing much better now though. I had a bad morning this morning. I woke up feeling like I could not breath (or was NOT breathing). I cared me so bad that I immediately hit full blown panic. I could not see anything, felt like my head swelled up, could not get my eyes to open. All of this happened within one minute. Did not even have any time for anxiety. I read on one posting that the breathing difficulty was caused by stomach upset. So within less than one full minute I had calmed myself down and bulched a few dozen times and all was ok.

So knowing all of this and doing this program, I think I can handle the "zoning out" again. I really did not even know who I was at the time of the "zoning out". Tha is what frightened me the most. Just know it should get better IF you pratcie the program. If I can do it (gosh I know how cliched that sounds) I know any can if they set their mind to it.</span>
