Hi
I thought I was beginning to get better from my latest anxiety bout. I have had a steady improvement of anxiety and over the last couple of days really thought I had cracked it! I am so sorry if what I am about to explain sounds odd or makes no sense but I don't know who else to explain the symptoms to. Basically I have been busy this morning painting skirting boards to keep myself busy whilst off sick. Anyway as I was painting I kept getting a feeling/memory trying to come into my head (almost like when you are trying to catch a dream from the previous night) I don't know what the memory was of. It wasn't like I was just trying to remember a specific situation or anything! I felt like I was trying to grasp thoughts or memories that I have been having recently but couldn't. Then I suddenly felt panic flood through me and as I looked around I stuggled to recognise my surroundings. I knew I was at home but it felt very strange. This has happened a few times since today and I am so frightened that I am going mad or losing control. The worst thing is that I can't really explain the feelings and that scares me too. I really hpe that it is part of the anxiety and that I am getting better, but I need some help in trying to fathom out what is going on. If anyone can help explain I would be so grateful.
