Went Xmas shopping today and just felt in a world of my own. Like I'm in a daze/ lightheaded.
Iv had enough of feeling like this! It brings me down and makes me not want go do anything and scared. Will this pass? Has anyone experienced this? And got through it? And any tips?
I get this every day! I am also day 7 of Prozac.
I can relate to feeling like how you describe.
I get this all the time, but i have accepted it is just a part of my anxiety and when it is very bad it is a sign to me that i need to get a better nights sleep and take it easy for a couple of days. I get it alot when i am shopping or driving, but CBT has helped me to see that it can't hurt me and i usually just try to finish what i am doing, but just pay attention to your stress levels and be mindful when its bad to just take some time out to relax
Iv stopped driving now because of it. My life has turned upside down last month because of this 
never had it before. And I'm 22 stuck in with no life. Hense why iv started Prozac to see if will help.
Did CBT help? And have you ever done mindful courses? As I want to try it. Iv started counselling.
I totally know how you feel. I been getting the lighthead feel lately. Comes with shortness of breath. It is, scary! It's hard to ignore. I do can't wait till this feeling goes away. Also makes me nervous.
I am on the list for a mindfullness course, but the CBT was very good! I had 7 sessions alongside the prozac which i am still taking, and i started to see improvement after a few weeks... You will get better huni, the prozac takes a while to kick is, so be patient
You need to do some controlled breathing exercises huni to get your breathing pattern back to normal
Ah, the dreaded derealization I anxiety. I had this terribly bad 12 years ago for a few weeks. After meds and counselling I was back to normal. I've begun feeling this way again, and an just hoping it goes away as quickly as last time. Any other symptoms?
There's some great apps on the net that helps a lot with mindfulness and breathing.. And teaches you how to cope with anxiety/panic attacks.. I haven't tried CBT yet but went to 2 counseling app and didn't learn anything.. I teach myself off the apps I've downloaded..
Nope just that? It's really weird? I feel normal? Just the dizzyness? Is driving me instance? Did it pass for you?
Ty! I will read on that. ☺
Is it more so dizziness or more feeling out of touch?
Thank you. My mums on Prozac too and she is loving life. I just think because I'm young it's got to me very bad. And the lightheaded feeling has ruined me. I really hope it works.
Thanks for the kind words means a lot 
like you said iv just got to hang in there.
Honestly counselling was great! You will see some difference. I'm also going to mindfulness courses too as iv heard that's great.
I felt dizzy. Then I feel like in a daze like I'm not walking on the floor sort of thing. And feel sick and get scared. Like your in a dream. Weird horrible feeling.
Sounds like panic attack.
Did you feel this before starting the Prozac? When I stared my SSRI I could literally feel it working in my head. Felt like a tight band around my head accompanied by an intense brain fog. Also, was overly emotional and couldn't focus on anything. I'm just wondering if this the startup effects of the medication.
I also experienced depersonalization at the very beginning of my troubles, way before the meds. Felt like I was experiencing everything from outside of my body, kind of like a dream. I didn't feel a shred of happiness and my ego was totally dead. That lasted around 5 days.
Iv had a panick attack it's not one. As it's 24/7
This was before the Prozac yes. I'm day 8 of Prozac so it probs isnt in my system yet. Did you see any difference? And started feeling normal? It's driving me insane.
Agree, it doesn't sound like a panic attack.
My doctor has given me some pills i can take for the dizzyness up to 3 times a day, sometimes they work well, other times just take the edge off... Some people would call what i have vertigo which is really a symptom of anxiety and not a condition on its own
