In reply to body fusion feeling - anxiety?, posted by Sonya on August 1, 2005, at 10:30:00
Okay, I think I understand what you are talking about.
And yes, I think that's a part of anxiety.
I had a similar feeling when I was at my worst with anxiety. Mine felt more like my arms and legs would "float away" if I didn't have them tightly tucked in somewhere. As if my limbs where not connected to me or I had no control over them.
At one point, it was so bad that I would sleep on the couch so I could tuck my feet in between the couch cushions and would sleep with hands inside my pants ( don't get the wrong idea here, LOL).
That was the only way I could fall asleep becuase I felt so disconnected.
I tried explaining this to my husband and he looked at me like, "HUH?" It's hard to describe but it's a very uncomfortable feeling- it's kind of that feeling of unreality. I hate it.
I hope you find relief soon!
