Just wanted someone to share with me if you ever feel this way..

I wake up most every morning knowing this is the day I will die I have been doing that for many many years..But lately I have this high or stoned feeling all day long, feels like I have a real bad cold and my eyes just feel weird, It makes me feel like i cant think good, like I am not acting right, like i have no feelings or something..I snap out of it from time to time but never for very long and these feelings have been going on for months now I sometimes feel like i cant talk right or like i am crazy..Nothing seems of importance anymore except for these feelings I just cant cope with them..I am not on any meds and I do not drink or do any kind of drugs.. Like a lot of teenagers I drank a little and smoked a little pot but that was 15 years ago never anything harder than pot....Please HELP ME, if anyone else has every felt like this....I dont know how much longer i can go feeling like this...I have had panic attacks along with ocd, agoraphobia, and my safe place was always home so i just stay here, but now when i have these spaced out days and week i dont have per say panic attack symptoms anymore i just feel plum crazy..But when i do snap back to reality for a day or so I feel the panic symptoms again such as heart racing cant breathe then boom i am right back to a zombie...Please if anyone can relate please let me know....

I have had many similar feeling recently. Driving home the other day I didn't remember the whole drive home (45 minutes) and when I tried to think about my drive, the day or the day ahead of me I got this weird doomed feeling. I couldn't think - its like someone else had taken over for a while and I heard myself screaming to wake up but I was in a fog. Eventually I was out of it and felt better. I take xanax which has helped with that feeling a lot. You should try going to the doc and getting some medicine. It sounds like you have depersonalization or derealization.
good luck and let us know how you are doing - you are not on your own.
** You also may want to check that you are not depressed. It sounds like you might be...
*** AND there is a book called from Panic to Power- she describes in the book of always being in a haze - not being able to snap out of it. She said that is the brains way of taking a break and you should enjoy that time. The brain has to take a break from anxiety and panic... good book - check it out.

hry33,
I can totally relate to you!!!!! I feel like my anxiety keeps morphing itself into different things. I have been going through this episode on and off since December and I've gone from thing I'm dying of a stomach cancer, to having a heart attack, to now feeling zoned out and tired.

This week in particular my sinuses have felt swollen and when I take my blood pressure it is normal, yet my pulse is always high, but I don't feel panicked...just nothing really. I broke down today and took amoxicillan thinking I have a sinus infection and have taken 2 doses. It seems to me that the fog is lifting. I think it is the weather changing, and the pollutants in the air.

I keep telling myself that when the symptoms start manifesting themselves like this it is because I'm conquering it and it has to take on a new face to scare me.

Your not alone and I'm glad there is at least one person that can relate to me...I hope you feel better...

Hey, I get that feeling sometimes too...like I'm just on autopilot and I'm playing some kind of role, that I will snap and go crazy any minute. Sometimes I convince myself that I really am going crazy. I think it's all related to anxiety. I have a lot of anxiety-related problems, including vocal cord dysfunction.

Meds can help with that. Also, just try to take care of yourself--get plenty of sleep, make sure you're always thinking good positive thoughts, and try to keep yourself busy and keep your mind off yourself. With me, I can't sit still for a minute without getting really introspective and thinking too much. That causes all kinds of problems.

Take care...
