Everything you mentioned except the phone thing has happened to me as well. I'm 22, and it started about 3 years ago. I'm pretty convinced mine started as a result of my ex-girlfriend breaking up with me. Maybe something traumatic has happened to you recently? I like to think I experience these things because I've opened my mind up to a new way of experiencing things through meditation, astral projection, etc. It may be wrong but that's the best way I've found to cope without freaking out too bad. The feeling like I was going to fall up into space happened about a week ago for the first time. I was laying on a dock on the lake to get a tan, and I looked up for a split second and immediately had an adrenaline rush and started to panic. It was really wierd because things like that normally only happen when I'm alone and start thinking too much, but I was actually in the middle of a conversation with my friend. As far as the speeding car thing, that's happened a lot. My "anxiety" attacks actually used to happen only when I was driving(delivering pizza) back when it first started. Alot of times all of a sudden everything(I mean EVERYTHING, internal and external) just seems fake or somewhat like a dream. In those cases I usually just close my eyes and try to go to sleep if possible, or listen to my iPod until I quit thinking about it. Sorry I don't have more advice but I thought it might help you to know you're not alone. I know it helped me.  |
