I don't know much about myself and am a bit confused with my spirituality.

I'm all around understanding with religion, but don't take any affiliation or practice with them, like, Christianity, Buddhism...ect.

I don't take much concept in life. I act upon abnormal behavior or unnatural, disruptive, distorted thoughts, which I have no confusion to why I do it, I just let myself act that way.

I guess to put a thought to consider, I like being considered animalistic, I like treating myself to think of being feral and natural like. I feel serenity, euphoria, peace, and happiness, with thoughts and sounds of nature or even with music that gives into natural tones and peaceful like equality.

I'm heart-felt and feel no negativity when I'm in a state of peace when I think about solitude inside a imaginary world of captivating surrounding woods or upon a tropical island with a big moonlit sky filling the peaceful water with light and the sand with glow. I feel so much good, I can't recognize the feeling, but I feel it has spirituality mixed with it because I don't just feel it emotional.

I don't know if nature is a form of a spirituality that people can have, but I'd like if to be if it is. I'd like to know if there is a specific name to it or if their is more of a practical religion to it. I'd like to further my spirituality with it and find more peace so I'm not so confused with myself and feelings. I'm dealing with anxiety/panic disorder so I'd like a way to control it spiritually as well as getting help with it mentally, which I am now.

Update: I'm not meaning on literal terms with nature, it can be if I'm outdoors, like camping or going on walks in the woods when I'm not in the city. I'm meaning hypothetically and imaginary based. I'm not always connected to technology for the feeling, I do get out often just for the occasion. So please don't make assumptions and become offended. People already have been very rude to me about the question and I'm very sensitive to negative opinions, so I hope for people to be at least modest and sensible to answering my question correctly with out nasty comments.

You entered the best form of "Spirituality" I know. Religion is different from Spirituality.

Religon is all about people, social order and control. The Universe is all about why you are here. Being animalistic is the only way to go. You are on a good spiritual path.

Thanks, but what would be a name to this type of spiritual path?

There is Naturalism, "the idea or belief that only laws of nature (physical law) (as opposed to supernatural or spiritual) and forces operate in the world; the idea or belief that nothing exists beyond the natural world", though only you can say if it is entirely your viewpoint.

Is talk of irreligion allowed? Because Naturalism is considered an irreligion, with subtypes of its own, including Metaphysical, Humanistic, and Methodological.

I think Secular Humanism (also an irreligion) might be a good fit for you though; it embraces Naturalism and posits that each person must examine for themselves their relationship with ideology, instead of accepting any of it point blank:

The philosophy or life stance of secular humanism (alternatively known by some adherents as Humanism, specifically with a capital H to distinguish it from other forms of humanism) embraces human reason, ethics, and philosophical naturalism while specifically rejecting religious dogma, supernaturalism, pseudoscience, or superstition as the basis of morality and decision making.

It posits that human beings are capable of being ethical and moral without religion or a god. It does not, however, assume that humans are either inherently evil or innately good, nor does it present humans as being superior to nature. Rather, the humanist life stance emphasizes the unique responsibility facing humanity and the ethical consequences of human decisions. Fundamental to the concept of secular humanism is the strongly held viewpoint that ideology—be it religious or political—must be thoroughly examined by each individual and not simply accepted or rejected on faith. Along with this, an essential part of secular humanism is a continually adapting search for truth, primarily through science and philosophy. Many Humanists derive their moral codes from a philosophy of utilitarianism, ethical naturalism, or evolutionary ethics, and some, such as Sam Harris, advocate a science of morality.

Still, in the end these are all just labels, although you may find one that fits you. Good luck!

I might just be Naturalism because I do believe in things supernatural and have an actual liking towards it as well as having a sense of being close to natural elements and finding peace in it as well as finding peace and coping with unnatural elements.

I do have a sense however with humanism because of my behavior with my love and affection to human beings, but that would only be my way of putting it, reality wise. I'm not in peace with being that way when I'm doing that, instead it only fills me with feeling of pleasure for the need of love and connection.
