It's anxiety. Rest assured. I have had symptoms like this for over a year now. It lightened when I started taking lexapro. Go and talk with a counselor, it will amaze you how it will lighten these feelings. I know you are going to shoot down and question all I'm saying... that there is no way anxiety can cause this, but it can and does. I would have terrors or fits of anxiety about 1 hours to 3 hours after falling asleep. I thought I had some terrible disease because I would tremble upon waking. Then I just felt strange and weird. I had perceived weakness like I was so heavy and couldn't move, even though I could. I went to a psychologist and an internist. The internist ran my blood work. All was normal. He told me it was anxiety. It all starts in the head. Your mind doesn't truly shut off. It sends you into a constant state of mental emergency. Then your body becomes tapped out. Then you experience symptoms like you're describing. Talk to someone. The spacey feeling is called displacement and it's a symptom of anxiety and depression. Don't let these feelings overtake you. You'll see over time it is anxiety. You'll pass one hurdle after the next and then you're confidence will be back. Lexapro was a game changer. I did a year of cognitive therapy and a month of neuro feedback before I started taking Lexapro. The first week I could sleep again and the anxiety symptoms I had experienced everyday for a year (a year of complete hell) vanished one by one. Have hope. You're OK.
