Along with the racing heart beat, shakes, constant fear of dying or going crazy does anybody else get a feeling of being detached from their own body and everything around them is unreal?
I cannot explain this very good but when ever I go out I sort of feel trapped in my body I look around and houses seem to be in 2d nothing seems real and then the panic attack hits me.
Does anybody else get this or am I really going crazy
Xx
I feel detached all the time.
Can I ask how you explain it please?
Are u on any medication for this?
I feel like this all the time 2 😞
How do you cope?
Mines getting really bad especially when I go out.
Are you on any meds? X
like when i wash my face i feel its just splashing water instead of washing it. When i go to the toilet i feel i am wasting time there waiting for bowel movement. i am so impatient i cant finish cooking a full dish. Whe i am looking at others itslike i am in a time capsule and looking out of my body but cant relate to anyone
I panic when i go out as i cant spea with anyone
While ive been on my meds ive been bad
I cant walk anywhere at the minute.
I love walks too
But as soon as I think about leaving the house I have an attack
Are you taking anything xx
I can relate to you.
I get it all day every day since taking my meds its worse.
Its like there is a glass wall between me and the world and I cant get past it
Im also impatient.
Do you have any coping mechanisms x
hi ive been exactly the same for a couple of months, been put on citaprolam first week 10 then increase to 20, the side effects so bad couldnt get past 10, really scared to up the dose , just lately dont like to leave home as i think im going faint in public i feel like this as soon as i go out the door, also my anxiety is worse in mornings, but im fine at night, anyone else feel like this?
Yep I havent been out since friday.
Had to phone in sick for work as my anxiety at the moment is sooooo bad when I try to go out.
My anxiety in the morning is bad but at night too.
I really hope I dont get put on 20mg tomorrow xxx
lots say 20 mg is the therapeutic dose, but i dont know whether to increase or wean myself off, cos im afraid to get more horrible side effects again, and in the end the med wont work for me,
are you on any meds?
do you suffer panic attacks when you wake up in the mornings?
Im on citalopram 10mg and have diazepam just incase.
I used to havent had one in the morning for a few months (touch wood)
Im only on day 6 of my meds it has been a rough few days but today and yesterday was okish until I leave the house then im panic city.
Yeah I dont want to go up 20mg I feel im getting used to the 10mg and learning some coping techniques.
How long have you been on your meds?
Xx
I'm not on I have been prescribed them but 2 scared to take them xx
Propronalol once a day
thinking about it now, mines also worse with the meds, maybe its a side effect of some sort, cos ive read on other posts about people taking citalopram and feeling spaced out.
What have u been prescribed?
It's gunna b a tough few weeks im only on week 1 and dont know how im going to be tomorrow but its going to be better in the long run thays why I keep taking mine.
Be brave there are plenty of people for support ive learned this the past few days
Im always here to chat xxx
Yeah the dr did say all my symptoms will get worse before they get better
I can manage the nausea and dry mouth headaches its just my panic attacks I cant stand they have been bad the past few days
I cant even go out at the moment.
Xx
