Feeling off and spaced out
Posted , 65 users are following.
Does anyone feel spaced out and just numb from Anxiety. It's a weird feeling to try and describe but just don't feel right. It's like the mind has shut off. I find myself trying to remember what I did yesterday to snap myself out of it but it's tough so it's like I am getting dementia. It seems to go away when I don't think about it but as we all know that's very hard to do. It scares me so much because I think it has to be something else then anxiety and depression. It's like I have lived the past two weeks in a dream like state. I have been on Cit for 3 weeks now so hopefully this will go away sometime. I am worried it never will.

How are you feeling now? I hope you are doing good. I'm going thru the same thing now, constantly checking how I feel, spacing out, can't concentrating anything..

Thank you for this forum I came across recently and having a read of this forum
I can relate to some of these stories
I am usually known as a very positive mind. I always smile and laugh at my own jokes.. i am naturally shy & have mild anxiety. but i have healthy mindfulness and stategies to get though the day effortlessly
Recently I started a new job..
I usually am the first person to arrive lol
..and something occurred during the day that had my usually positive mind turn into a stress ball.
I was cleaning inside the shop about 30 mins before opening the doors and windows some person started painting the windows from the inside & to make it worse my shop is very small and the fumes were so strong it was quite intense in every breath.. but they didn't even bother to open a window or door.. I stayed inside working inside the small shop for about 3 & half hours greeting customers which I felt I needed to get outside and get some fresh air...but I stayed inside because I was ordered to.. I only had about 25 mins of lunch break..which wasn't long enough while outside get some fresh air..
i felt like i was going to faint.. i keep working once i finished work.. my mind was racing alot more than usual thinking...
"why did they use highly fumed paint inside of the shop on the start of the shift?" & "why didn't I just open the doors or window myself?".
ever since then I haven't been able to breath calmly and I felt like I lost a sense of myself to a point where my mind is focused on that event and I haven't been able to concentrate on the present ..it's that bad.. that I often feel like my positive self is drained by worrying over nothing ^^
. . Just like I feel like a robot..
sorry if this sentence doesn't make sense...
Thank you for taking the time to reading this story
any help is appreciated.

Its a long shot youll see this now but i joined just to reply to this..
I am currently feeling this EXACT same way and am scheduled for a MRI, and they just upped my prozac dosage about 2 weeks ago- Nothing has changed thus far.
Still feeling zoned out 24/7, can't focus on anything, forgetful, just overall completely out of it. The world is moving on without me.
I got a gym membership to see if physical exercise will help. Ill try anything at this point.
Will update after next doctors appt.
