HELP I FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING IS UNREAL

[cody81]

I have been dealing with anxiety for a while now I am 16 years old and this mainly started when i was in 7th grade (12 or 13) where i am just nervous randomly but over the past year or so it has just been getting worse and worse, i havnt been to the doctor or anything about it because i just really hate going to the doctor its not a fun place. i havnt always been like this which is why i really want to feel normal again and it seems to just be getting worse with time and it really scares me about a year and a half or so ago i got this feeling that was veeerrry strange like i was walking at school and there were alot of people around me and i suddenly felt as if i wasnt really there like everything was unreal or dreamlike it was very scary and i figured lke whoa i must be sick but then it passed as i got back into class. then one night i got it again when i was hangin out with friends after that i started getting it every so often that was back around 7th grade i am in 9th grade now and just about this last summer it came back and now i feel like this all the time its so horrible and scary! i have learned to deal with it alot now but i just want to feel like myself again sometimes i seriously feel like im going crazy or like i will never feel like myself again i feel like and i worry that i have all these different mental disorders, i constantly look up my symptoms online because i just want to find the answer its so hard to enjoy the great life that i have when i constantly feel like i am in a dream i swear everything feels so unreal, like all the time now most every where i go i feel like the only time i feel normal is whne im sitting in my room, or in my house but i still get it when i get up and go somewhere alot and it really ***** i also noticed that i am getting really bad anxiety in social situations such as talking to people looking people in the eye i feel as if my neck is stiffening and i feel like my head shakes. (not visibly usualy i just feel it.) i get alot of muscle spasms as well, i constantly think that i am very sick like mentaly i am soo afraid of getting serious mental disorders

also my memory feels like it is getting worse now i feel like i cant think of what im trying to say anymore i cant ask quesitons in class because i feel really strange and when i talk alot of times i feel like it is not me, like it doesnt sound like me its so scary i just want to feel normal again is there a cure for this problem that i have im really a normal person i just dont feel normal anymore and it affects me in so many ways. i usualy wont be aware of the dreamlike/unreal feeling untill i remember it or think of it then it seems to come right back and i will just feel like i am not there and everything is just not really happening scary!!!

about my memory it seems like its getting harder to remember things such as peoples names even though i know themreally well usualy when i'm trying to tell somebody something about someone or anything like that. i cant focus at all i have the worst attention span eveer and its just gotten worse in this year or two year period.

I mean i  just dont know i feel like im getting dumber i cant stand up infront of the class anymore i cant read in class casue when i do it doesnt sound like me to me everyone tells me that im ok and its just stupid because i talk about it 24/7 i wanna be with reality again and be able to hangout and enjoy my life without feeling like im just not myself THIS *****! helpp pleeeasse


ALSO i feel dizzy all the time my eyes suck too they seem fuzzy and dizzy/strainedi dont know what to do becaues my eyes feel really messed up all the time not that i cant see good i see fine there just seems to be like tiny dots and i just dont really know how to explain but thats one more thing that reeally affects me is i feel dizzy like all the time now its so annoying!

So I am 16 as well and also feel like everything is unreal and sometimes I freak out and look up a ton of mental disorders and self diagnose. I smoke weed about 2 times a week to help cope, but it only makes me feel more crazy. Like now I constantly see **** out of the corners of my eye, and sometimes I'm in this dream like state where I can't move but I know I'm away. And I think I'm dying when this happens. I also sometimes think I'm seeing smoke come out of my mouth when I breath. I always freak out over this and I constantly think I'm schizophrenic. My mom also has been diagnosed with OCD and ADD runs in my family. I'm really scared and honestly can't tell if I'm going crazy or it's just anxiety.

I feel the exact same way I actually was looking for answers and it lead me here I'm only 15 and my anxiety is horrible I kinda feel relieved that its probably my anxiety but it scares me cause I feel like I'm not real and im scared if I tell someone I might be put in a mental hospital....

What you have is derelaization.  It is a very really thing and it feels very real. But when you accept that what your going through is a part of anxiety you will be ok. Too much anxiety caused this because it is almost like the brain shuts down to help avoid anxiety when really it causes people like you more anxiety because of the unreal feelings

I am a highschool student from EU. This post pretty much sums up what I'm feeling. In addition I ovethink all the time and question EVERYTHING including whether life could be a matrix or maybe everyone except me is not real and only a simulation coming from my own brain. (I know it sounds crazy) I have always been a sensitive person but never had anxiety until 2 panick attacks which were triggered by drug abuse (I quit drugs immediately after the second panick attack) This whole unreal feeling started three weeks after the last panic attack. I try to stay positive but it is VERY hard and I think about suicide a lot. If somebody reads this, please PLEASE give me some advice I don't know how long can I last.

The brain analyses what its taught or was taught maybe its a past experience or present its hard to fabricate things out of the norm even in psychosis it just analyses normal information abnormally but not fabricate i think you saw or went through something sometime

If you feel like this please readHello, I know how all of you feel, the same exact thing is how I feel. Feeling hazy like everything is a dream, I have been through some stuff in the last month and things feel so weird. So after talking to my parents about this they took me to a psychologist and the doctor said this was common, he prescribed me Zoloft which is supposed to do me a world of good. So talk to someone about this and see if it works. If not try a different type of drug there are many out there. Most important thing is to know 1. Your not alone 2.this will get better, you will not feel like this forever
