Feeling Out of It/ In a Dream..help Me!!! Posted: 03-14-06 13:34pm
I think I am having panic attacks, well I
know I am. I have went to the emergency
room because of them. I use to work and
get out. I recently moved w/ my fiance
and my 2yr old daughter. I am not working
anymore, I stay at home and I am not as
close to my family as I was (like 30mins
away now) my fiance works 3rd shift so I
don't see him, so it's just me and my
daughter 24/7. That's just a little back
ground on me. But this is my question, I
have been off and on for maybe 4- 6months,
I have been feeling out of it, like I am
in a dream. I am sick of feeling weird.
Also I am not really having panic attacks
anymore, like I use to get shakey,
hot/cold flashes, tingley, rapid heart
beat, ect. I'm not like that anymore. I
just feel out of it (in a dream) and lazy,
also every once in a while (seems like
around the time of my period, before or
after) when I am asleep i'll wake up and
it feels like my whole body (on the
inside) is shaking/ trembling...Now that
scares me. Any suggestions??? My doctor
told me to get my eyes checked about the
out of it feeling...Everything was fine,
well I need glasses but nothing that would
make me feel the way I do. I feel out of
my body. And when I go out I feel strange
like everyone's looking at me or
something, the out of it feeling worsens,
but I have the out of it feeling most of
the time!!! It's driving me crazy, please
help me...I have no insurance to go to a
doctor again!!!!

Tbh, it really sounds like stress/anxiety
to me.
But i'm assuming the "feeling like i'm in
a dream" "feel like i'm out of my body"
sensations refer to sort of feeling
detached from your surroundings? Like you
see things but don't really, people might
talk to you, but even if you try to listen
hard, your mind wanders and you can't
quite understand? I don't know if I
communicated that well. If that's what
you mean, then that's definitely one of my
own symptoms. If not, then i'm not
sure...Maybe you'll need to clarify?
I get full body shakes when I wake up, but
only if it's really early, like before
6:30 a.M. Or so.

I guess that pretty much how I am, I just
can't focus or concentrate like i'm just
kind of blah, it's really hard to explain
it. It's kind of an out of body feeling,
I feel drained/ weak no ambition

What you're feeling is a normal thing for
the brain to do when it's exhausted. It
shuts itself down and is actually resting
itself while you're still awake. That's
why you feel like you're not there.
If your brain didn't do that, there's a
chance you might go insane so it's a good
thing.
Everyone gets that from time to time but
people with anxiety focus on it and it
keeps coming back from the stress of the
worry. Just let it happen and it'll go
away. It's totally normal.

Theres help!! Posted: 04-28-08 20:59pm
Ive only quickly glanced over your forum
but it oh sounds sooooo familiar. I went
through a phase of feeling totally
DISASSOCIATED. First id feel panicky etc
but then i just went numb and like Lennon
said its your brain just shutting down.
Ive been getting anxiety stuff for years.
What actually saved me in the end is my
just turned 4 year old daughter. Although
ive done a lot of travelling etc I am very
shy and used to be terribly insecure. Now
i knew i didnt want my baby to end up like
me so i started taking her to Library
hour. Most libraries have a story hour
once a week and two is the perfect age to
start taking her. Through that i met
other parents and found out about other
things to do, cheap. A few of us got
together and we now do a play-group
session at the community centre after the
library story hour. Its become a great
succes. I never thought id be one of
those clucky clucky mother
types.............far from it...but im
hoping like me you will at least meet one
or two people whom you have something in
common with. I dont check the forums that
often but please feel free to send me a
private message. Good luck and take care.
