After effects of Anxiety attacks?

Question

After i get an anxiety attack, i feel strange.
Like i am empty and numb and everything arround me is fake.

It feels like i am looking at the world through blurry glass.
And i'm watching everyone else on a stage and im the only one in the audience.
It makes me feel so alone and it goes on for hours sometimes..

Is this a symptom of anxiety?

Answer 1

Yes... and wonderfully stated thank you! I tend to go empty also... outside looking in, but not wanting to be watching at all. Everything feels so detached... so far away... at times I get physically ill after this detachment, and I always feel weak, drained. It's bloody awful! At times I now can fake my way through the attack but not the aftermath. By fake... no one but me knows I'm having an attack.

Answer 2

If you had a strong anxiety attack, chances are you had a chemical overload. Your body was making your blood rush and it was enervating every nerve in your body readying you to perform some action to get you out of danger. Whether you performed this activity or not, your body has a sudden let down of this emergency reaction and you are feeling the let down of this sudden relief.
