This morning around 9:30am-10am I took my dog out to pee, and i was standing on the porch by the door and I hear like a loud jet or plane. And i was looking for it to pass over but the sound got louder and louder so i thought it was flying pretty low. so i kept looking up trying to spot it but the sound kept getting louder and then i started thinking that the sound was in my ears and so i kind started panicking because i thought i was going crazy or that i might pass out or go in some other dimension.. :/ i just started feeling like i wasnt real and i started thinking that life wasnt real... .... the sound finally ended and i never did see any plane... im guessing its my ptsd acting up ?? but after that ive just been kind of anxious or on the edge through out the day..
That does sound scary, but look at how you dealt with it, you didn't completely panic, you kept looking for a rational explanation which is a really good thing! If you had fallen down the rabbit hole you would have believed the feelings, but you stayed feet planted in reality, BRAVO!

@CKarma hehe i didnt think of it that way hehe… but i wouldnt mind going to wonderland
thank you! HUGGLES!
I've had the same thing happen a couple of times recently - really loud plane sound but I don't see anything. Could be cloud cover that is obstructing view of the plane... You aren't going crazy. If it happens again - just tell yourself its just a plane, even if you don't see it. Then try and distract yourself to do something other than focus on the plane. Your experience was normal for what you described. It could have triggered your PTSD and that may be why you reacted the way that you did but it was just a plane. That's all.
@dwainwright i still think PTSD is weird… I told my psychiatrist once that a leaf fell in front of me and that i jumped 10ft in the air… I kind of feel dumb about it but she told me it was just my PTSD.
I am sorry I hate that feeling when you have to ask yourself if something is real or not. Every day I have to ask myself. Or if I talk to someone who I care about okay am I sick or well enough to talk to them. Okay I am okay I think I can talk and not make a fool out of me. But it is scary sometimes to talk to people. Okay... am I okay to talk? Maybe it was just a plain.
@Aceland hmm… maybe try not seeing yourself as being “sick” think of yourself as recovering. I mean even when we all get a flu we still talk to others and look at them for support and to take care us while we are sick.
