Feeling spaced out and constantly tired dizziness and irritation
Posted , 69 users are following.
I've been feeling like this for the past 4/5 months now and I'm starting to loose hope I'm so worried that something is seriously wrong with me. It's hard
To describe how I'm feeling as a lot of people don't understand. It's like I can't focus on anything my mind is just constantly spaced out it's like a high/drunk sort of feeling which makes me feel dizzy and abit nauseous. I'm suffering with really bad tiredness with it I just want to sleep all the time I'm not interested in anything or motivated I just feel trapped in this little glass bubble wanting someone to smash it I want to wake up one day and feel normal. I'm also suffering from waking in the night from hot and cold sweats my blood pressure is fine but my pulse is abit too fast which I have been put on propanalol. I just can't focus and this feeling of being out of it is affecting my every day life and I would do anything for this to go. I'm so scared to go for scans and tests incase I have a really bad under lying health issue but everyone keeps telling me that it is related to mental health and that I will get better. I give birth to my LO 10 months ago now and I was told that birth can trigger many mental health issues and I've recently started taking sertraline 50mg for my depression and anxiety... someone please help me I feel like I'm never going to be myself again I just need this fog to clear and I just want to be able to wake up and live normally without struggling.

Wow, this is me also. I’ve had bouts of it in the past but over the last 3 weeks its been constant.
This time it started out with periods of being spaced out and blurry vision. Then it became waking up with mild tension type headaches that radiated from my neck and occipital region of skull, and spreading to eyes, top of skull, temples and an ear fullness. I also have dreadful TMJ.
Normally, this would seem common for me, especially if I slept wrong on my neck. But the spacey feeling has never ceased. I can’t think, can’t focus on anything. Woke up at 5.50am every morning regardless of taking Endep. Then two nights of no sleep at all. Now ive slept the last two nights again but the minute wake up its back to space station again.
I get little bouts where feel almost normal and my vision improves. Headaches have now gone but i still feel the constant brain fog and even derealisation at times.
Going for CT in 2 days but I’ve passed all my neurological testing (had to fight for a scan).
Was vitamin D deficient over a year ago but it was only mild. I do take D but haven’t had my levels looked at again.
I feel like I’m losing my mind and as a mental health professional, this has been particuarly trying to make sense of.
Seems this thread is a bit dated but thought id try my luck. Has anyone had any joy yet??

hi,
Thought i'd comment as i've felt the same lately.
All started when i was diagnosed with diabetes and put on Meformin. was ok at first then it really started upsetting me, mum and dad are both type 2 and kept reassuring me etc. then had the doc phone me up one evening on a sunday at 9PM which was a worry and she wanted me to go for a CT scan, i asked if it was anything to worry about and she said no. so then i looked online and convinced myself i had pancreatic cancer which in my head brought the diabetes on, thought i was going to die in a few month's and was very scared. ended up with my mum getting me a doctors appointment to get me back on antidepressants, i've been on them previously as I'm never generally overly happy but never stayed on them for more than a month. while at the docs i pretty much broke down told her i thought i was dying and she told me she was only getting me to have the scan to check for inflammation etc and im far too young to get pancreatic cancer and i'd be in a lot of pain. so back on the anti depressants i went. finally got the all clear after a week or so but i started feeling really strange and spaced out and not myself. she put it down to the side effects of the sertraline. but it's just been ongoing now, pressure behind the eyes, feeling spaced out/drunk and just not myself i function perfectly fine but it's like im not the one doing anything. neck feel's quite tight also i find the bright light seem's to slightly effect me also. get quite lightheaded/dizzy when i get up sometimes almost like im going to pass out. i've stopped the antidepressants in the hope all this goes away but it's been a week and a half and it's still there. really hoping it goes soon as it feel's like i can't enjoy anything as im not myself
