Emily,
It took like 5 or 6 weeks for it to go away. A big thing I noticed is that some of the crazy things I was doing are things I had probably done before or would not have thought much of if I did not have this anxiety. Remember your mind is so consumed with a constant self check "how am I feeling" "how am I doing" "do i feel like hurting myself" "can other people tell I'm depressed" ect to infinity. Some of your craziness is due to the spacey feeling however, I know for me, looking back I am able to see that it was for the most part me being so hyper concerned about my feelings each second that I was not paying attention to the things that I used to, ie my makeup, my homework (Im in graduate school, and I would like forget my books for class). I promise there is nothing wrong with you. It will go away, try to keep yourself busy with other things so your not so self consumed (not in a concided way but in a self help way). You will get past this, and if it makes you feel any better, I was so worried that I was going nutts that I called my pdoc and she said that 40%/50% of people get that feeling...I guess we were the lucky ones. Emily, you will get though it!
God Bless,
Lexy
