I feel spaced out, drunk/high 24/7

I've felt like this for about 3 weeks now. It hit me like a bus. One day I was perfectly fine, and then the next I felt like I was half way through my 10th pint on a Friday night. And it hasn't stopped since.

I feel spaced out, I struggle to concentrate on things. It's really hard to explain, but my vision seems to focus intensely on one object (like an up close macro photograph) & then everything else around me seems to fall away.

I can still function day to day. I can still talk to people, walk/run, make food etc. but I constantly feel drunk/high.

I've got exams coming up within literally weeks and this just cannot continue in to that period.

I don't know what to do. Welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

PS: I've never been on any medication before and blood pressure etc. are all fine. All good in the health department.

    Hi... My husband has the exact same symptoms now since 2009. This is first time we've really come across someone who described it so well. Have you had any luck in finding out what is going on with you? Please write back ASAP. Thank you

      Hi,

      I myself have had this for 3.5 years and I have every test under the sun done. Can I ask all the testing your husband has done and is there anything that triggers his symptoms? What symptoms does he have? How long does it last for? I finally have found some answers to my symptoms and I am hoping I can help you get the proper diagnosis.

      it may not be exactly this but i think its derealization. if not all its mostly due to anxiety and your current mental state

      derealization is when nothing around u feels real and that you're in a dream, there's also depersonalization which means you don't feel real, you can have both or one or the other

      it is anxiety but it's not '' just '' anxiety. you're obviously scared so it's not something that just doesn't matter. it sounds a lot like derealization which has to do with anxiety. a psychiatrist can really find out what's going on and diagnose you and possibly give medicine if it's needed, counseling helps too

    Heya, are you still feeling spaced out and weird? Exactly the same thing happened to me, about 4 months ago. I'm super worried that I'm going to feel spaced out and high for the rest of my life - when will it end?! I'm literally too scared to drive, leave the house or do anything because I'm permanently so dazed and have moments when I think where am I? Is this really me? Freaking out! And no one seems to understand

      idk if i already replied but i think its called derealization, it has to do with anxiety, you can go to a psychiatrist and have them see if you have gad ( generalized anxiety disorder ) or if you're anxiety has gotten to the point where you would need medicine, anti anxiety medicine and counseling helps a lot with derealization
