I have chronic stress and anxiety, and this happens to me. Even when I'm calm, I'm still really stressed. I can't really describe it, but it drives me crazy

Sounds like you may have been experiencing dissociation, which can feel out of body, numb, and detatched. It's different for everyone and can be scary for sure. I've also had moments where I'm panicking/begging inside for it to stop but my body just isn't reacting. Try some grounding exercises next time, the ones spiritlady23 mentioned are a good place to start. The 5-4-3-2-1 anxiety exercise and the mindfulness body scan exercise may be useful, too. For me, dissociation is caused mostly by intense stress or anxiety and so mindfulness helps Not sure if that is what you're going through but if it is know that it is most likely your brain trying to protect you in its own way from overwhelm, even if it may feel alarming

Focus on a object in your home all the details of it and colors then do deep breathing ten times while counting to ten
