Anxiety and Feeling Disconnected from Yourself

Anyone else feel like anxiety has messed up your brain? Like I just don’t feel like myself anymore. It’s always hazy or I just don’t feel like I’m in my own body, if that’s makes any sense. How do you get out of that?

I have had that out of body experience as well. I used to lay down on my side and squeeze a body pillow for grounding while I watched an interesting show to distract me.

I get that feeling. Have you looked into depersonalization/derealization? There are many grounding techniques out there, I like focusing as hard as possible on my senses and trying to link my mind to the sensation my body is feeling. Tapping wood does it really well for me.

I’ve heard of that. I def need to look at some techniques because I hate waking up like this.
