Hi, I just read your post and I want you to know that what you are experiencing is totally normal. A couple of years ago I had a baby and shortly afterward I began feeling anxiety symptoms. I started having panic attacks for no reason...And on a daily basis I was feeling nervous. Worst yet, I had the symptoms you are describing. The feeling of "make believe" like you are dreaming. I could never explain it to the people around me because they didnt understand.

I finally went and saw someone for it, and it turns out that your body goes into defense mode during anxiety. It's called "depersonalization". This is very common to anxiety disorder. I started taking lexapro, a very small dosage. I was on that for a couple of years and when my insurance ran out I had to switch to citalopram (celexa). Both have worked for me. I still have anxiety and an uneasy feeling in my stomach once and a while. I have learned to accept that it's just my anxiety.

Thankfully the depersonalization went away. Best of luck to you and please know that you are not alone.

First off lol irish people are the coolest lol. Thank you so much you really helped me. I just have to learn to except it and soon it will pass but I thought something was wrong with my brain I was like omg but thanks to you im going to try to deal with it and say its just my body doing tha defense thing. Hopefully ill be better in a few days cuz im sick of this so bad.. Thank you irishgirl

If your brain didn't do that, there's a good chance you'd go insane. It's actually a good thing. That dream state is totally normal and i'm pretty sure everyone gets it from time to time. We (anxiety sufferers) just focus on it and it sticks around. It goes away once you relax and let your brain heal itself. I've had that a million times. Go about your day and let it do what it does. Don't concentrate on it.

Ok so the loss of concentration and stuff is just anxiety and the out of body feeling is normal with it and the memory problem I heard is common with anxiety so that means there is nothing wrong with me just anxiety. Hey I am up write now scaring myself to death. Ok. Earlier today around 1 something pm I took my buspar and here it is 2:00 am and I took some extra strength liquid tylenol now that wont like hurt me cuz of the buspar will it im just freaking myself out. I had a headache and wanted to get rid of it. Please write back fast.

I've mixed much worse than those two together in my time. Tylenol barely gets rid of a headache. Try not to worry so much.
