Feel like I'm someone else

Posted , 8 users are following.

I don't know of this makes sense to anyone but everyday I feel like I'm looking at myself as someone else and do not feel like me at all, it's such a strange horrible thing to feel, it's like someone else is in my body, I feel like I'm screaming to be me again and this person I feel isn't me, anxiety is awful, I swam to of developed a fear of sealing just lately invade it goes into my lungs! (What the heck is wrong with me) I know the isn't possible but my brain won't listen sad

As some of you will know I do have HRT tablets to take but still trying to put it off as I'm only 36 and I'm determined to make an appointment with the doctor to check she had looked at some of my previous smears to find out I've had pre cancerous cells removed I'm worried about the HRT with history of this, I would love to get through this naturally without having to pump more drugs into my body, I'm already on carbimazole for my thyroid and I even hate taking them, but if I don't I'll die so kind of have to lol! I'm a kind of don't take it if you really don't need it kind of person, I rarely take pain killers for a migraine, my bed is my friend!

Does anyone take anything natural for the brain fog forgetfulness? That's my biggest symptom I have with this which I thinks makes my anxiety worse too xx

    Hi lou-lou,

    Yes we are both in the same boat.

    But I took the plunge! If it wasn't for HRT, I don't know where I would be. I was never one to take meds either. But I'm so glad I did. I suffered for many years until I gave in. My sanity was at stake.

    Brain fog! It was awful, I still have moments, but nothing like before HRT. It's the best way of getting back to yourself. Some woman go through this like a breeze. It wasn't that easy for me. In Fact.. I'm on my 13th year of meno. Only started last year on HRT. I would of stared sooner if I had known it would of helped.

    It is a blessing to me.

    Only you can decide. Best of luck!

    Hugs, Maggie

    Hi I too have that feeling and I think it's part of the anxiety.

    I have tried every alternative remedy there is plus acupuncture and I think it's helped slightly with hot sweats but not with the anxiety.

    i too hate taking tablets but have given in have decided to go on hrt against my consultants advice.

    For the last 3 days I have felt better as regards to the anxiety which is the 1st times in weeks but I'm still going to keep my docs app as I'm sure it will be short lived.

    take care.

    Hi lou-lou, I took Macca, Gingko Biloba and St. John's wort. Gingko Biloba for the brain fog, Macca and St. John's wort for eveything else. Gingko works good. You can find them at your health food store.

    I know what your saying this happens to me... It's hard to explain but I feel like someone is trying to get in my body and I get really bad anxiety. When I feel like it's about to happen again I just think of something else like what am I doing later or tomorrow. It was a really hard for me but when I kept doing what I said I did it rarely happens now. Some people wouldn't get what happens and what it feels like. Do faze it, think positive, and fight it.
