This is the sensation of not being in your own body. You might feel like you are observing the situation from a distance or that you don’t know what is real and what isn’t. This symptom of anxiety attacks is an indicator for very strong fear and frustration and it can be a very unreal and inexplicable feeling. In other words, reality will feel entirely different. This makes it doubly hard to come back to the present moment. If you do sense this depersonalization, try to bring yourself back by concentrating on your breathing or the sensation of an object in your hands. Is it hot or cold? Sharp or soft? Being in the moment can make this symptom easier to deal with. " This is the feeling as though you are in a dream. The situation, along with your emotions, thoughts and physical experiences might seem like it is not real, but rather a memory or a nightmare. This feeling occurs during the stages of very strong affect but is likely to go away in a few minutes. The method of handling this is similar as with depersonalization. Focus on the objects in front of you or the people you are with. Focus on your sensations of touch, sight, and sound. Those are constants that do not change. Anxiety attacks cause a myriad of symptoms that are very unusual compared to everyday experiences. Those feelings, especially the emotional and mental symptoms, can make you feel as though are not normal, hallucinating, or are going crazy. This is a very scary sensation that might leave you feeling terribly helpless. This is normal. You are not going crazy; you are simply experiencing an anxiety attack. If you are experiencing this, try to remember that it will pass and concentrate on your surroundings. This will distract your brain and make you feel grounded and closer to reality.
