I feel like I don’t know what i’m doing its like i’m in a dream I cant look at myself in the mirror or other peoples faces when I wake up its like the same thing everyday the same sounds same people and I even do the same thing everyday I feel as thou i’m not even living anymore and it scares me so bad that I have really bad anxiety and panic attacks cause I don’t know what it is and i’ve been stuck in my room for like a year now sleeping a lot and sometimes I cant even sleep at all I feel as thou I don’t know that i’m talking sometimes and i’m very irritable to sounds plus I tend to lash out on people cause i’m so mad cause iv been living this way for so long and still cant figure out what’s wrong with me and sometimes I have these crazy thoughts about knocking somebody out and I don’t know why it seems the my brain cant perceive things or process things I see or hear its like my brain cant handle it and it causes me not to be able to function right and have all these weird feelings like i’m out there in a fog or something its like i’m never goanna be back to feeling better again I feel that iv damaged something that cant be fixed and I don’t know how I did it cause I never did any drugs or anything like that or had a really bad past or anything it feels as thou I have something physically wrong as well cause even when i’m not feeling anxiety or a panic attack or depression there is still something wrong like i’m in a dream or something like I cant talk cause its such a task cause it feels so weird and it just wont go away its like I have so much wrong with me and I have not had a job or hardly any kind of contact with other people and plus i’ve been in my house for like almost a year it feels as thou its too late for me like its goanna be like this forever that there isn’t any help for it cause if there were they would have already helped me instead of me being like this for so long and nothing has changed but I keep going on hoping one day it will all go away so I can live a better life the life I should be living cause i’m only 21 and I feel like i’m 80 or something …. :( :?

Are you saying that you feel like you're in a dream state all the time? Like everything around you feels far away and you feel like you're not really there? A lot of people with anxiety disorders get that. I had that a lot. That's actually a normal thing for the brain to do when you've stressed it out too much. I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're saying but if it is, let me know..........You can get over that.

Exactly
Your the only other person ive ever heard use the "dream state" analogy. It is also my best way to describe it. It is hell. I have been diagnosed with lyme disease, and treated with iv antibiotics. It hasnt improved yet, but hope is still there for a couple more months. Still... I am excited to see someone experiencing more than just "fog". You lose a sense of awareness that almost seems like a 6th sense. I recommend you ask your doctor specifically for a lyme disease test, as I regretted not doing so... Also it would be worth it to ask about a tilt table test, or standing up/sitting down blood pressure measurements.

By the way, im a 16 year old male, with depression that is unsuccessfully treated by antidepressants. I smoked weed for a while, and I really hope these symptoms aren't related to that. I dont think they are.

You're so young. You have to either be in college, have a full time job, and go out ocasionally or go to gym. Please start doing a few of these things now, for you have nothing to wait for.


Also, don't be afraid. Read another post, foggy mind. Apparently, quite a few people have the same condition. Freaking out causes panic attacks.


I don't know how to explain this. I think it may be caused by stress in some instances.

P.S. I'm 23, a senior in college.
