I've had CT scans of my head, ekg of my heart, heart monitor for 30 days, I've been to a neurologist and everyone says anxiety still, all test were normal, have you been to a dr?
Brad, it sure all sounds like an anxiety disorder, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to run this by your doctor. It doesn't have to be a physical ailment maybe something is bothering you or stressing you out. Your doctor would be able to advise you as to how to handle this feeling. Talking with someone like a therapist might help.
The spaced out feeling sounds like anxiety and depression to me. I have similar symptoms, and I've had all the tests done. Problem is once you start focusing on the symptoms they get worse/exaggerated. The mind is a powerful thing. Anxiety can be present even when you don't feel anxious. Basically, the brain goes into auto-pilot and constantly drips out the anxious material and gets your adrenaline going. Your body begins to wear out to this and it just "sticks". The crazy thing is you have to ignore it and "float" through the symptoms (when it's anxiety only-if it's a medical reason then none of this applies) until your body begins to relax and come off the cycle.
It's a simple thing really, but it's very very hard to do. Go to the Dr, make sure you're healthy. Then learn to beat anxiety. Best of luck!
Hi start paying close attention to your stress level. Could be anxiety getting out of control. Get in touch with yourself and see what's different these days. Start having nutritious foods drink water and get yourself a good multivitamin, to start take it at night. When you are in this zone do your very best to continue what you are doing and stay focused. Realize it's just your body telling you your anxiety is out of control. Try not to panic. Believe me I been there and now I feel much better since I realized I can control this. It will be one of the most difficult things you will ever do but it can be done. Keep in touch and let us know how your doing. Ciao
I still experience derealization(the visual disconnection part) A year later though it isnt nearly as bad as in the beginning, but i did get rid of the full body numbness robotlike feeling, so it is something that can be reversed or greatly alleviated, but it does take some work.
I get this a lot when I'm going through one of my anxiety "bouts". You explained it SO well. I just had a bad episode yesterday just like this (being in familiar souroundings but feeling like I'm not there kind of like im on a movie set or something?) It's the hardest part of anxiety for me. I would say very confidently that it's derealization or depersonalization
He brad. I saw you had mentioned depersonalization in a previous comment. When I read your symptoms I thought it was depersonalization. I recently experienced it. Hope you get everything worked out.
I experienced these type of feelings and to be honest with you?m, this was the most scary part of my anxiety: Depersonalization and derealization.
Basically, these symptoms are manifested like you are in a dream, in a movie, that everything and every one is moving slow and I detach from reality.
My mind always used to trick me to think that anything that was around me was real. I kept looking at things trying to convince myself that I was just having some kind of anxiety situation that was driving me nuts.
Then, I discovered the meaning of those two words. And finally, I could understand what was happening to me. These symptoms ocurr when your mind keeps running the racing thoughts over and over again without catching a break. You are so in deep in your mind that basically, what you are doing is literally not paying attention to your environment around. You are almost like sucked up in your mind. Thinking, wondering, trying to find an explanation, a solution, a way to finally end with that nightmare. You’re ignoring your surroundings, this is why the mind is not able to process your space; it’s already tired of thinking constantly. By the time you want to focus, you can’t. Feeling like you are in some kind of a fog. I hope this helps you to understand those weird feelings and bring a little bit of peace to your mind. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and we are here for you.
