As your anxiety is so bad right now, I have a feeling the sense of being detatched is your minds way of trying to deal with the over-load of anxiety.
Detatchment, sometimes called dissociation (from reality or the self) can be a coping mechanism when things get too much. I often get this when my anxiety or depression are spiralling.
I would suggest letting someone near you know how you are feeling. My boyfriend is very good at grounding me and calming me down and sometimes it is good to have someone that can spot when to do that. Also, try some grounding techniques and meditation to help bring yourself back from the panic and re-find reality.
I would suggest going to the Drs, as any reaction to medication should be noted. It may be that the steroid you are on it not suitable and there is an alternative. However, if you find you do not wish to change it is best to remember that this is a temporary situation, that you can not die from a panic attack and find the best ways to keep yourself safe in the mean time.
