Fear, anxiety, loosing ones self - anyone else suddenly felt this fear - repeatedly?

Just a quick question.
I’ve hit 10 months and couldn’t be more proud and relieved seeing the last 5 months we have had in our lives- theyve been hell!?!
But over the last week (since last Thursday) I have felt so off ballance and without an anchor and like my whole personality has been wiped, and I was so distraught last Thursday and friday I just woke up and all day I was just so fearful and scared; I felt i had a blank personality:
What do I like? What don’t I like.
What do I want?
What do i wanna do?
Questioning My relationship!?
Questioning My work!?
I wanted to run out and away.
I dont know anything any more and I don’t know who I am or what I want or what the hell is going on.
It’s overwhelming.
I can imagine this must be what slowly slipping into dementia must feel like some days.

Did any of you ever have a sudden shift like this and will I calm down? Because right now I’m freaking out!! And its been a few times last week and the week before.

I also woke up from freakish dreams about running away and chasing a green parrot and catching and eating it and shit…now i dont do dream readings or believe in anything spiritual like that realing and meanins etc, but this one last night - - i just feel very uncomfortable and like my sanity is slowly falling apart around me, like im loosing my mind.

Help!?

If you are a bit like me it could be that 10 months milestone that is disturbing your mood.
Milestones are tricky days for me. Believe me I’m proud of myself, ps congratulations with your 10 months, but it also get myself in rough waters.
What helps me is this:


It keeps my in the now, in today. That keeps me away from overthinking. Maybe it helps you too.
Venting is helpful too and you just did, I hope it relieved you a bit?
