I had a really bad day of depression earlier this week. Barely got out of bed, felt extremely down, etc. Ever since that day, I've had this constant 'walking on a cloud' feeling whenever I try to move around. I obviously know that I'm moving but it just feels so numb and detached and as if I'm walking on nothing. I know that feeling numb emotionally is a very common symptom of depression but I was just wondering if depression (or even anxiety) could cause this feeling as well? It's tough because I also have had a sinus infection for the past month along with some head pressure so I don't know if it could be from that instead.
Anyone else had a similar experience?
Hi Alex I'm more inclined to beleive it's something to do with maybe your sinus infection as it's common to mess with balance etc
I've had depression for quite a few years now and don't ever recollect any walking on cloud experiences maybe under a cloud but certainly not walking on one
That's not it to say I don't realise it very much depends on the person and my only advice is to speak to your gp about it I'm sure he'll say it's something like a head cold but best being safe that not ya know good luck maybe if he does put it down to depression you could let us all know because that would be intresting to know of a different effect
That's what I've been thinking too. I just found it weird how this happened ever since that one really bad day. But I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow so I'll get their input on it.
Thanks for the reply!
