This is not typical for a garden variety anxiety disorder. I think you
would do well to contact your psychiatrist. You may be on the wrong
medication.

dwelling on something and i got my self so convienced and scared after
my husband calmed me down and talked to me i was ok.

Yes, of course that is possible. It's diffcult to tell over the
internet. Were you actually convinced that *your body was taken over by
someone else* in the sense of a delusional idea about reality or was it
more of a *dissociation* thing like having no real contact with the real
worldm feeling as if you play in a movie instead of in the real world,
feeling separated from the rest of the world, maybe have visual symptoms
in the sense that everything looked *different* and unfamiliar, perhaps
even threatening? These would be "normal" anxiety symptoms known as
*derealization* and a certain estrangement, feeling *alienated* from
your own body (are these *my* hands? etc.) is it's brother
*depersonalization*. If you, however felt that *aliens were taking over*
(so to speak) and you experience this more than a few times it's time to
see the doc.

was thinking that someone was trying taking over my body cause i felt
so weird not convinced that someone did just convinced that someone was
trying i had weird thoughts in my head like someone was telling me they
where going to take over my body i kept telling myself my name and that
i was ok no one was going to control me. i just got really scared and
freaked out.
