Has anyone ever experienced something lie this: i was doing my exposure work, which now consists just of walking in front of my building for some time (half an hour actually) and i was pretty tense. i noticed a bird gathering things for its nests and concentrated on it really hard, even started talking to it - just to get my mind of my thoughts for a second - i konw it sounds funny, anyway, when i turned around i felt dizzy and light headed as if my concentration suddently went back to panic. and i hurried home which i know i shouln't have done...but it was very scary...why does this sudden change of object of concentration cause anxiety/panic? i used to have those feelings when i would a magazine on a bus and suddenly realized i didn't know where i was (this was before my illness started) and i would feel dizzy and scared? Any explanations?
Thanks, Iwona.
