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.

You are not alone!!I know that weird feeling! Happened in my 20's. I had every anxiety symptoms from A-Z and I was terrified. All my tests at the doctor came out normal. I'm in my 50s now and doing well.. I can still get anxious, but I know how to respond to it to keep it from getting unmanageable. You see, and when we are anxious , our brain thinks we are in danger and it sends out a hormone called adrenaline that speeds up our heart rate and it can increase our respiratory rate and some other things. When we feel those symptoms, we get even more anxious and the brain sends more of that hormone . A vicious cycle
its all a matter of managing The anxiety. I am able to reduce my symptoms by 90%. Derealization is your body's way of protecting you from severe stress. It sort of shuts everything out. That's why you feel so weird when that happens. But it's not harmful.
You are in need of talking to a counselor who specializes in anxiety. This is very hard to overcome on our own. They see this every day and know how to help you! It helped me a lot and it's nice to be able to vent to someone else.
The worst thing we can do is react with anxiety and fear when we get symptoms. I know it's hard to do but the anxiety will actually bring on more anxiety. There is a book called mindfulness that explains all of this, how to separate our negative thoughts from ourselves, how to respond to anxiety and symptoms, etc.
For immediate help, search you tube for some of these.....:
Panic attack emergency....they guide you through it.
Mindfulness
Meditations for anxiety, depression, sleep,etc
thet really calm me down.
ones I particularly like are. Detachment from overthinking, and clearing subconscious negativity
many to choose from.
remember, when you get a symptom, don't try to fight it off. Simply acknowledge that you have it in a calm way and let it run its course.
Symptoms you get from anxiety cannot hurt you! Keep that in mind.
I know they are bothersome, scary at times, and just weird but that is all they can do. When I listen to the meditation's regularly, my symptoms are practically gone.
The brain needs to completely calm down in order for the symptoms to go away.
I always recommend getting a check up by your doctor just to have peace of mind. When your test comes out normal, but the focus should be on reducing the anxiety. You said when you don't think about it you feel OK. All the more reason to stay active!
Socialize and do things you really enjoy doing!
doing things for other people keeps your mind off of your own worries.
The worst thing you can do is sit and Google symptoms. That will drive you crazy and chances are it does not pertain to you.
be a fighter for yourself. Don't forget to smile and laugh even when it's difficult. Don't take life too seriously. Believe me it's not worth it. I spent 30 years worrying about my health and nothing bad ever happened. I REGRET THAT!!
Enjoy your life and get the support of a professional! 😁

So I have been to the drs several times and they have done blood work along with MRI all coming back normal . Not sure what to think anymore so I try to just go about my day . I have read stuff online that says it can be stress which I'm very much doubting that since my life been the same with no issues and a sudden onset with this .

I've heard too much yeast in your body causes "feeling drunk." I've heard of cases where people have a overproduction of yeast there body keeps making and they describe what you said. Feeling drunk but without the buzz. Ask your GP. I'm no doctor. Good Luck👍
Candida infection or auto-brewery syndrome, which means your body turns yeast into alcohol.
