Dan...I got over that spacey feeling!!! You need to realize that it is not dangerous in any way...It is actually your brain's way of protecting itself when in overload!!!

Your anxiety level is elevated, and you need to work on lowering it!!!

I embraced those spacey feelings, since, they were a part of me...I would just observe how I was feeling, and did my best to not wish it away, and I got really good at it!!!

You would be surprised at how quickly these type of feelings pass when you actually tell them to come on and give you their best shot...

I know you feel all out of sorts, and that is not a good feeling....You can also use this opportunity to practice your deep-breathing exercises and to use your positive self-talk...

Say things like...I have felt like this many time before, and I know that it is no "big deal" and it will pass....

When I used this technique, it actually cut the life-span of the spacey feelings down to a few minutes, and it wasn't long before I stopped feeling "Spacey"

Have a great night's rest...God Bless..

BTW...For me, acceptance and embracing my feelings was the key to overcoming them..

I have been there many many times, it always went away eventually.

I rarely now get that spacey feeling (and I used to have it daily). Once I finally accepted that it wasn't anything serious and that it was just my brain protecting me, I lost the fear - and then I lost the spaciness.

On occasion I will feel it to a small degree, and I know that I need to start doing the steps I've learned in this program. I know what the feeling is, I know what to do about it, so it doesn't bother me anymore.
