Q: Feels like I'm not here

Well im 15 and Iv started having this feeling like im not even here.
It’s a daze but it goes on all day.
Iv just started getting my period regularly, I was feeling dizzy too but im takin bio iron tablets for that.
Iv been sick for 5 weeks with this chesty cough, iv still got the flu but its not the flu were you have to be in bed, I cant seem to shake it off iv been to the doc’s but they didn’t give me anything so iv been swallowing garlic but that makes me feel sick! i eat well too
Since iv been sick iv been worrying and Iv had a couple anxiety attacks, iv been having bad thoughts ABOUT dying, chocking, swallowing. I try to brush it off but its hard...
I was also jumping out my sleep but then id be fine. I have this feeling like I want some one next to me. to feel safe
I had a little depression but got rid of it by exercising etc.

But im really worried about this feeling of not being here!
It’s so hard to explain. But ill feel good then ill think o I got myself back then it will disappear back to feeling dazed sort of and ill think maybe im forgetting what the feeling of being here feels likes!


Iv also just started a new job and like it. It’s at a bakery and its hot so I drink plenty water. Do you think maybe my body is just adapting?
Shocked
This sounds trippy but im not on drugs! I talk to ppl I trust and they say my body is probably just run down from all this at once. Iv ALSO been dreaming of water swimming in deep water, which means iv become bogged down.
Maybe its just a phase!
I just want some tips or advice help pls….xxoo
I also live in a small country town so I can’t just jump to a doctor. Keep in mind. thanks

I know exactly how you feel. I am experiencing the same thing right now. This is the second time this has happened to me. After a really bad anxiety attack I get that spacey, out of body feeling. It is very hard to explain to others. The first time it happened was afetr I was diagnosed with acid reflux and was triggering awful anxiety attacks. Always had this feeling like I was going to pass out or die. The feeling of not being here eventually wore off after about 8 months. Changed diet, exercising, and lowered stress. I know that it is a very strange feeling, but just give it time. It does go away.

Josiek8, Your dream of swimming; Water is the living essence of the psyche and the flow of life energy. It is also symbolic of spirituality, knowledge. You are 15 and you are growing as a young woman. I did not take from your post that you are strung out on drugs! Smile You are feeling lost and you have been sick, which can make you feel worse. You are searching right now. Feeling spaced out and not "there" as you stated makes me wonder what is happening around you? I would also like to add that commencing your period will add many changes in your body. Hormones can play a lot in to what you are going through. What hobbies do you have? How is school going?
