    Funny feeling I got lying in bed, I have had it before but not for years, feels like I am made of iron or stone, though I can move if I want to, all my nerves feel diiferant, as if I am not made of flesh but something really hard and heavy.

I'm so out of it like I'm not even me like I went somewhere and my body is just moving on its own I feel trapped in my head and the ONLY time I feel somwhat normal is in my bed watching tv.

    Hi I have gone through stages like that and it is horrible.  You don't say whether you are diagnosed with depression or anything?  If you haven't been then get yourself rto the doctors and get some treatment.

    Try and distract yourself and do something like washing the dishes,  go to the shops,  anything just to take your mind off it.  It will pass so hold on to that.

    Also google mindfullness which might be able to help as well.  Take care,  you are not alone.

      Hi thanks for the comment and yes I'm diagnosed with depression and anxiety but these new symptoms are more of a detached feeling I'm in the process of having some therapy but I can't cope with these feelings it's more or less 24 hours a day I don't feel like I'm me if that makes sense I started taking sertreline 2 weeks ago 50mg I was on them last year but stopped taking them for a year

    hi Sean, I hope you don't mind me commenting, but I've woken up today feeling like I'm not here I just don't feel right. I've had mental illness for many years and I know it's part of this the more im thinking of it the more it's happening, I know I'm bringing this on ( I'm not suggesting you are ) i'm glad to see you are going to be seeking some therapy, it really will help. Getting out in the fresh ( long walk) usually helps me to or read a book or do some meditation. I'm not a health professional but as I say I've had this for years and these are things I do to manage it. I really wish you the best.
