Everyone talks about a racing heart, but what about when you feel like you’re floating outside your own body? 🫁✨
During a severe anxiety or panic attack, your brain can go into survival mode. It triggers ‘depersonalisation’—a coping mechanism that makes the world, or yourself, feel completely unreal.
If you have ever felt this, please know:
✔️ You are not losing your mind.
✔️ You are not going crazy.
✔️ Your nervous system is just exhausted.
The next time it happens, don’t try to think your way out of it. Use temperature. Grab an ice cube or splash cold water on your face to anchor yourself back to reality.
You are safe. This will pass.
