> This is getting a little freaky. Creepy. I constantly feel like I am walking around in a dream. Like nothing is real. I don't like the sound of my voice because it sounds detached from my body.
Emme,are you in your twenties by any chance? I had episodes like yours frequently then. Pure anxiety. I had REALLY nasty panic attacks. But nobody talked about that stuff in those days (70s). I didn't get treatement and it went away on its own.
I continue to suffer from depression though, and some lower-level anxiety. My recommendation would be to find a top-notch p-doc and work with them. My life has worked out pretty well (I'm in my mid-50s now) but I still need help on this end. Thank goodness for the new meds that are coming along.
Isn't this a great board? Good luck and hang in there!
