Feeling Drunk all the time

Hi,
For the past many years I've had this feeling of being drunk all the time.
It started when I was13. After a session of playing at school, I started to feel dazed and drunk, like I was in a dream. Very soon I started to have this felling ALL the time. Every single moment of every day for the last eight years. Initially I was very worried and complained to my parents and family doctor but to no avail. I learnt to ignore this feeling.But not any more. This condition has adversely affected my studies. I have become physically and mentally inactive. A simple task of reading is a challenge.
Things around me don't fell real...like in a dream. I've visited a neurologist several time and even had an MRI scan and various blood tests. All were normal.I'm really frustrated and confused. I'll be very grateful if someone could at least diagnose this condition.

Hi...I've been doing some research and I've finally found a disorder with the same symptoms as the ones we have mentioned above...It's called 'derealization'. At least we now have something to work towards! Good luck!

I have been feeling drunk/spaced out, black and white flashing swirls in my vision after exercise, tinnitus, hard to concentrate and need 9 hours sleep to feel like i have had 7.

I wonder if my kidneys have anything to do with it.

I use to drink alot of redbull (one a day for 3 years) and coffee until I got a really sore kidney about 5 weeks ago. Since I stopped the black and white swirls went away and I only feel half as drunk as I use to. I still have the tinnitus though and still find it hard to concentrate.

I know my immune system is low because I have been getting sick. I feel like I have glandula fever back again too (drained after exercise and swollen glands).

I am a pilot and I had a full aviation medical about a month before the kidney pain and nothing came up from that.

I hope I am on the road to recovery. I will get back to the doc soon and if I get a diagnosis I will post it here.
