Re:what the Hell Is It?

I'm not much of help but i'll. If you are having problems focusing then you might be having a side effect from the meds. You need to talk to a professional. If things get to bad for you, you must make yourself focus. Don't panic cause things don't seem right. You could be on a high dose or have other problems affecting you. Seek help from whom ever proscribed your meds. Right away. If they don't help you get a second opinion.

To weird
sounds like depersonalisation or derealisation, look these up on the net for details, they are caused by stress
you need to learn new ways of calming and relaxing yourself

Hey

I dont have anxiety or panic attacks all the time the onley thing that causes me to have anxiety is this its not just anxiety itself because I feel like this all the time its not just cause I have a panic attack or anxiety and it just goes away after the anxeity goes away its something constant all the time even when im typeing this right now its really weird its something thats hard to explain its like I know what im doing but its relly weird like my brain is not processing it or something its hard for me to talk cause it feels so wierd like I cant feel myself talk or something keep in mind this is all the time 24 hours a day plus its like I cant feel myself walking like im not doing it or something but im not haveing anxiety or panic attacks at the time so it cant be just anxiety or panic or stress that just adds on to the feeling makeing it worse so this is something that never lets up at all im thinking it could be a neurological problem or maybie a chemical imbalence plus some derealization and depersonalization I dont know but its something and it sucks ill tell you that much it just sucks to have to wake up everyday not knowing whats wrong with you and haveing to suffer you know........

Hello weird,

i suggest that you see a doctor and get a proper diagnosis.

If the doctor thinks it is depression or anxiety attacks, please let him read:

"depression an nutritional disorder" and

"beating anxiety"

at our web site at:

Hypoglycemia.Asn.Au

before he considers drug therapy.

I understand it's something you can't explain. I don't know what it is either so I suggest you go talk to a doctor or even a psychiatrist. Another suggestion is, you've mentioned you've stayed at home for about a year? You should try changing your environment, changing your lifestyle a little. Perhaps go find a part-time job that will keep you busy and your mind off stuff, even volunteering or taking yoga classes? Just try not to stick around home too much. Your mind might just be too bored and playing tricks on you, confusing you so much that you remain stuck between reality and your dream world. I never like to think much. I don't trust myself so I always like to keep busy. I hope that helped.

Weird,

i was feeling the same not to long ago (being in a dream like/foggy state) I suggest going to a doctor and if there is no diagnosis from him its probably yourself. I was/is suffering from anxiety and as strange as it may seem it put me in a dream like foggy state as your brain shuts itself down a little bit due to over stress. Its not permanent. I suggest reading other peoples posts in the anxiety section and you will see that you're most definately not alone. Good luck
