I'm not sure how to even describe this.. I've been feeling off lately, more so at night yet still throughout the day as well. It feels like I'm confused and lightheaded? Kind of spaced out, extremely tired, minds slow, takes me a little bit to respond sometimes or I will say the wrong thing. I'm really not sure how to explain it and its so weird.. does anyone else get like this?
its called depersonlization derealization
YES! It really freaks me out when I feel confused from that. Especially when I say the wrong thing. I know that it’s all from anxiety and stress but it’s still really weird. Can you give me an example of saying the wrong thing? I’m just curious if it’s similar to what I do.thanks.
Yes that is depersonalization/ derealization could also be called brain fog. I had that pretty severe when I was extremely anxious, or also I’ve read this can happen after drug use. I know it’s very scary but it’s actually a response from your brain to ‘numb’ things out to avoid overloading yourself. Normally once you get your anxiety regulated those feelings will go. Mine have. But remember it takes a little bit after getting things calmed down, almost like your mind is waiting to see some consistant relief before it eases up.
Best Wishes!
