spacey feeling

for 20 år siden 0 +0 / -0 32

David, Hey there. Yea I know it's all about doing things I enjoy, but it's been so debilitating that I don't enjoy anything anymore. I feel good that I'm starting the Lexapro for anxiety and depression. Hey, it can't make me feel worse than I feel right now, ya know? And the whole music thing, I've been listeing to a lot of pink floyd to soothe me. It helps but as soon as its over, boom, my anxiety is back. Such a vicious cycle. Ok take care!!

I do not know of anything personally to get it to go away for good, but that's just me. I do know that when I feel good it just does not occurr to me and that's when it does not bother me. I've had so many different little depressions and anxieties over the years. I have written a few pages of a book on the subject. When I was about 15-16, I had severe depression and OCD (Obsessive Complusive Disorder). I still deal with all of this in my life. Some days it bothers me and some days it does not. Do you feel good when you're not busy or stressed. I find that I feel best on my days off of work when I am free to do what I wish. One of my worst fears is disaster. When I do not think about it I am fine. What I need to do is work on making my positive thoughts stronger. It's a tough process, but it helps. I also have found that prayer helps. There are also cycles, which members can tell you, happen when we least expect them to happen. It's like, hey I feel great, and then a thought will occurr and blamo, depression, anxiety. I feel you are on the right track by coming here. Since coming to this site, I have learned so much and even though I have dealt with many similar problems you now experiecne, there is always something new to learn from those who have like symptoms. I just called my psycologist today too. I want to make another appointment. I had a date last night and I was up most of the night with her and it threw me for a loop. I feel as though I did not enjoy myself enough. I know it has to do with anxiety, but I also know it will help to see my psycologist. And yes, going out and doing things can and will help. Music helps me so much. I played my guitar a short while today and it's a great feeling. I'd say think of what you like doing the best. What makes you most happy? And do it often. Bye for now, Take care, David

David, What can get this feeling to go away for good? I know I am probably being annoying with all this but it's on my mind constantly. I saw my pyschologist today and I cried to whole time. I feel like I'm a dream or something. She thinks that I fell into depression now. She also think I should take the Lexapro which my MD prescribed to me. She also said that by going out and doing things that I like to do will help me over that spacey feeling. Do you agree? What do you think will help me?

spriggy, Yea my doctor wants me to start lexapro..just 5 mg too. But once again, I don't feel as though I can do that. What happens when I stop taking it? Good luck with it. I hope it helps you. I just prefer not to take meds.

For me, the "weird" distant feeling from reality is the worst part of my panic attack. I feel like I'm in a tunnel and am totally detached from the world. It's just so strange. It's hard to put into words but believe me, I know what you are talking about. And in some sad way, it comforts me to know other's also experience it. I debated about medication as well but for me, it has become a matter of survival. I have two children to care for (one with special needs) and I could hardly get up and take care of myself, let alone care for them. I went to the doctor a week ago and am now on 5mg of Lexapro. I don't think it's fully kicked in just yet but am beginning to feel slightly less intense.. all the weird feelings are still there, just not as overwhelming. Hopefully with more time, lots of prayer, and hard work, it will be gone completely.

David, and seatledoll, Thanks so much for writing back. This is hardest issue that I ever had to deal with. I try to keep my mind busy but it's just hard to do. I am debating about taking meds. I still don't know if it's right for me. I'm only 20. I have my whole life ahead of me. I don't want to be reliant on drugs. I'm sure you both know what I mean. Thanks so much!! I feel relaxed now knowing that there are people who understand me and my condition.

Hi Jafloydci, Hang in there. The online program this site has can be helpful. I started having attacks last May. My symptoms are that I am sure I am on the edge of passing out - I guess like that spacey feeling ya'll talk about. I finally went to a Dr. because I knew it was panic disorder. It is heriditary and my Mom and Aunt have it (I found this out after confiding in them). Ya gotta love genetics!!! Anyway, my Dr is very understanding and has worked hard to educate himself on this problem. He started me out on a low dose of Lexapro but it increase the attacks and made me want to jump out of my skin. It also made me sick all day. I then went on Zoloft daily with Xanax taken only when I really have a bad time or expect to be in a situation that the Zoloft might not handle. I seem to be doing well on both. Aside from the meds, I do other things when an attack comes on. Sometimes I hum to myself to distract my brain. I also do a lot of self talk. When an attack feels imminent, I say to myself "C'mon girl, there's no reason to feel this way..you're fine...you feel good and this is nothing to get uptight about...any minute now you'll be wondering why you felt like this...move on girl...." It helps me. One thing I have found important is that I have told a few close friends about this problem so they will know if we are out and I need to step away. I NEVER tell any of these friends when an attack is in the process of happening..that seems to make it worse. My friends know now not to ask me how I am if I look uncomfortable and they definately don't say anything like "you look pale" or "Are you ok?" Distraction seems to be the key. Just remember you once didn't have this problem and you can work through it. HANG IN THERE!!!!!

You're exactly right. By the way, you can call me David, if you like. I've dealt with certain types of anxiety for years. I hve bad days, good days, sometimes combined bad and good days in one. I have seconds where I am anxious and then seconds later I am fine. I think I have learned over the years that you have to kind of roll with it. My problem lately is SAD. My doctor told me to take valium 1/ 1/2 times a day until February so I can get through these tough winter months. It's really strange because last night at work I felt as if I did not need valium, but I took it so I would not relapse. I recently got off triavil and it was harder than I thought. It was a very small dose, but I was on it for 10 years. Anyway, sorry for running on. I really feel for you on the depersonalization deal. Best thing I can suggest other than meds is to keep your mind busy and eventually you stop feeling that ay and thinking about it. When I mentioned I had that problem at my gym a couple of weeks ago, I really was scared that night. I just finished a great workout and bang, it hit me. It was for a split-second, but it was a strong one. I think taking of a 1985 movie brought back something. 1985 was a bad year for me. It was the first time my anxiety really got out of hand. I was 19 and terrified of what was happening to me. I've had bad problems since then, but have learned new ways to deal with the problems. OK, I just ran on again, but I really want to help you. Ask anything you like and I can try and share my personal dealings in hopes that it helps you. I use many natural methods too. Staying away from industrialized foods is one way. There is so much junk in what our society calls regular food. My folks own a health food store and I have learned a lot about how going back to natural foods can help. Another key: Exercise, exercise, exercise. :). Find your favorite kind and do it. Mine is weights, cardio and stretching. Feel better, David

wrestler, Yea it's just frustrating because I don't want to live like this. I was fine a month ago, I just want to be fine now. I try everything to take my mind of of it, but it's so hard. I guess I'll try to get through one day at a time. It's the best I can do right now.

Depersonalitzation is one of the most demoralizing feelings there is. I have suffered from it in the past and had a bought with it a couple of weeks ago and a few little occurrances with it the last 2 weeks. One was while working out and for some reason it just hit me. We were discussing 1980s movies and at the mention of one, it really threw me. I was out of it for several days. I was functional, but rattled. I have found or feel it is your minds way of dealing with severe anxiety. It's kind of a defense just like an anxiety attack where you feel closed in. Depersonalization passes. I had a moment on my way to work where I crossed the train tracks and dissociated. This was after a workout and I was dreading going to work and I was hyperventilating. I experienced dissociation and depersonalization and anxiety at the same time. Talk about a triple-threat. I made it through my 8-hour shift at the paper that night with a little help from a small valium tablet. You're all not alone. I just felt by sharing this that it might help. David
