How can I describe what i’m feeling? (Anxiety Related)?

Hi im an 18 y/o male how has had an anxiety disorder for about 4 years now with bad times and better times, and for the past two months I feel into another slump and Im trying to pull myself out. Lately ive been feeling like mentally exhausted, like i don’t even think anymore. I usually always have something on my mind but now i don’t even care about anything and i feels like i spend hours just staring into space. Ive gone though depersonalization before and this feels different. Has anyone gone though this? Is this a common symptom of anxiety? What can I do? thanks

Hi,
Im a fellow anxiety sufferer as well, and i wanna let you know that while your anxiety over “spacing out” may not always be justified, it still is quite normal for someone living with an anxiety disorder. What you are feeling, has generated from the fact that you have begun to doubt yourself a lot, and find it hard to see yourself in the moment.. you begin to “space” essentially.. because this eases the pain of dealing with whatever it is thats bothering you.
and i do it all the time.. half of it.. i like to think is because im very in touch with my reality and my emotions.. but the other part i know is because my anxiety keeps me on EDGE and just like you.. very panicky.
what i recommend-
1) is to stop judging yourself so harshly. remember if you begin to space dont worry. YOU are in control.
2) if you are in college, talk to the psych center. they can sometimes be a great help.
3) DRINK CAFFEINE-FREE TEA ..
4) practice telling yourself that its ok.. its all okay
5) make sure you are moving forward in a positive direction, towards your goals.
