When I talk and move it doesnt feel like I am doing it .. Everythin has trails and is moving in a weird motion.. Even my best friends dont even look the same for some reason.. Its like impossible to concentrate. I been missin gso much school and I lost my job. I have like a 35% avg. In school I used to be in the 75 .

Hi

you sound exactly like me. You sound like you have depersonalisation and derealisation both symptoms of anxiety. Don`t panic as it will go away it just takes time and the more you focus on it the worse it feels. I know this as I live with it everyday. I am on a low dose of the anti depressant citalopram and I was scared at first like you but it has helped me get through the really low times. It`s not a solution but it helped me get through a rough patch and don`t worry they are not addictive like certain drugs.

What your feeling is a sensation of detachment which can happen through panic attacks or it can be an unknown cause. Anxiety is the top of the list when it comes to the cause of this feeling. It happens when your brain kind of goes into shut down and tries to protect itself, for example many people find it happens through a traumatic experience like a car crash. Your brain protects itself. You are perfectly safe though. When i`m outside I find everything seems weird and my eyes hurt with the light, I look at the sky and its all little flashing lights. It`s all anxiety!

Your doing the best thing seeing a therapist about it, if you need any mre information please contact me by private message I may have other information which might help you. But don`t ever give up and feel like ending things, your so young and you will get better, your already trying so keep going.

Good luck
