Heavy headed unreal feeling

[darnell0905]

So for the past 2 weeks everything just seems so unreal like a dark gloomy movie and I’ve had this heavy headed off balance dizzy feeling I’m hoping it’s depersonalization/derealization but it just seems to get worse like I’m slipping away losing myself day by day I’ve been scared to sleep I haven’t had a Attack or been really anxious in a while which is leading me to think it’s not my anxiety have any of you guys ever felt like this?

My god,you've just described what ive been feeling... what is it?

[darnell0905 in reply to Bigmama78]

I’m not sure I’m hoping it’s just anxiety and nothing more serious. How long have you been feeling this way?

[Bigmama78 in reply to darnell0905]

It started just before christmas. Still going on just now. Not easing ,at all.

[darnell0905 in reply to Bigmama78]

Mines too maybe started around Christmas some days it seems like its getting better but the next day gets worse it really scares me and I’ve had episodes were everything feels unreal but it never lasted this long or was seemed this bad

[Bigmama78 in reply to darnell0905]

I am the exact same, its effecting my daily life,eating,sleeping,

normal thought process. Have you spoke to a doctor about it?

[darnell0905 in reply to Bigmama78]

Not yet I have a doctors appointment coming up soon and I will mention it , I could let you know how it goes or what could be causing this

[Bigmama78 in reply to darnell0905]

That would be great,thank you. I hope your doc can help.

Also with yours does it feel like you’ve lost interest in things and your memory is not as good as what it use to be & your not all the way alert

[Bigmama78 in reply to darnell0905]

Yes,all of this...The only way i can describe it,its like i have brain fog? No motivation at all.

Feelings of general gloom and unreality (walking around in a dream) are typical symptoms of anxiety and depression. I hope you are seeking medical treatment for this illness.

[Bigmama78 in reply to jkl5500]

Me?

[jkl5500 in reply to Bigmama78]

I recommend it for anyone with those symptoms. Depression is serious business, and it needs medical treatment.

[Bigmama78 in reply to jkl5500]

No1 said it wasn't.

I’ve been feeling like that a lot lately too actually. Like I’m in a sort of haze all day long. I’ve really felt like I’ve just completely given up at this point. I’m finally doing a little better today and I hope it stays that way. I’m hoping it’s just leftover depression/anxiety from the holidays that’s still taking a toll on us and that it will hopefully pass soon.

[darnell0905 in reply to melantha]

I hope so too best wishes to you

[melantha in reply to darnell0905]

Not so much the memory thing as far as I’ve noticed anyway, but yes on not being very alert and losing interest in things.

[anxiousgirl7]

I have felt this way for a while now, I can assure you it’s aniexty, although it still scares me! I’m here for you.

I felt like that around the holidays and I started feeling better last week. I do feel as though my memory isn't as good anymore. Then that might be a left over side effect from Topamax. If anyone is taken that please be careful. I had the worst suicidal ideations and short term memory loss from that med. I told my dr I refused to take it anymore.

[darnell0905 in reply to Mariposa82]

I’m on topamax 25mg would you recommend to stop

[Mariposa82 in reply to darnell0905]

If you are feeling more depressed or experiencing more suicidal thoughts or trouble with your memory talk to your dr. I'm not a dr so I can't give you that advice but I encourage you not to wait too long if you are having any symptoms. I didn't connect the dots sooner which lead to a horrible experience. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
