In reply to Sick thoughts/nightmares associated with anxiety?, posted by Amy on September 13, 1999, at 12:47:41
>I experienced intense anxiety where nothing seemed real. In fact the feelings of unreality were very overwhelming. It was as if I saw my world thru a window. Everyone I knew was on the otherside of that window and they were all functioning normal - the way I used to function too. Try as hard as I could to be apart of their world I couldn't - the world that I used to function and participate in. I also had thoughts that I was being abducted by UFO's and that these creatures were watching me. I felt very Psycho and was afraid to tell anyone of these thoughts. I felt they were not My Thoughts. I struggled for a long time, but with help of anti anxiety meds and intense therapy I got better. Now I suffer from depression.
The scary thing was that when I went thru that I really felt crazy and wanted to just crawl out of my body.
I hope you find peace. Perhaps alittle comfort in that you are not abnornal - at least in my book. Take care! Hope my experience may help you!
