I agree with others. This sounds like you are dissociating and experiencing depersonalization and/or derealization. Both of these things can cause these sorts of perceptions and experiences and can occur before, during, and after an anxiety/panic attack.

If you are having these types of experiences and your anxiety and symptoms are causing a disturbance in your life, it would be a good idea to seek out some counseling to help you work through what may be causing these attacks.

You ARE NOT crazy, and if you speak with a counselor about this they will know you are not crazy too. A lot of people have these experiences, including myself...but you can work towards getting rid of these symptoms and issues.

You're not alone.

Here's the Wiki link if you would like to check it out.
