hi, im 1* n was diagnosed with leukaemia in march 05. i thought until a few days ago i was doing fine until i had this wierd feeling, sort of out of body for like a second. it only happens when im in the bath lol. i thought i was a freak until i looked on here and noticed someone had posted the same thing. could this stop happening on its own? could it be cause i am drinking a lot of coffee? i know its probs cause im under stress with my treatment and all but i just wanted to tell someone.

any advice would be great!

Caffeine can do it. Stress can do it too, and it sounds like you are really stressed. Try not to worry, anxiety can do a lot to you. Are you sure it is not a side effect of your treatment?

Caffiene can do that to your body. It makes your heart race and can give you anxiety symptoms. When I first stated talking to a therapist she asked me all the time whether or not I drink caffiene. It would be best watch your intake.
