Going crazy!

Hi I have some other posts but I need help! Most days I wake up and not feel like myself throughout the entire day. I don’t remember the last time I felt like myself for the whole day. I question is this body is even mine. I don’t like my limbs are mine or I’m the one making them move. I feel like someone is taking over me and this is all a dream or I’m in a coma and I’m going to wake up from it. Everything seems fuzzy and not real. I don’t recognize myself in the mirror.. I forget who I am. I question who I’m surrounded by.. even if it’s my fiancé or dad. I’m going crazy. I know these are all symptoms of depersonalization but I’m getting treated with Lamotrigine and citalopram... I just want to be me again. 

Oh no. I am so sorry you are suffering with this. I have never experienced it myself but depersonalization sounds very troubling. I am no doctor, but if your medication is not helping it may be worth going back to the prescriber, letting them know how you feel and trying something else. There are hundreds of medications out there and everybody is different. I have had anxiety and depression now for a month and I understand what it feels like to just not feel like yourself. sad It sucks. I hope things start to look up for you.

Hi Lexi

I have depersonalization and derealization from anxiety , so i understand how craxy it feels

The only things that help take the edge of is keeping myself busy and working out .

Trying to lower stress levels is important , its real hard to stop out side stress i know .

I also feel odd looking in the mirror and I just dont feel like myself at all hard to explain fully isn't it .

Sometimes my limbs seem not mine but I feel one of my worst symptoms is not feeling like who i use to be its like who I was is now gone dead , to be honest I really can't fully remember how I use to feel it's been so long .

Do your memories feel faded or like its not you in the memory ?

My times off too

Sorry your dealing with this its so unfair 😓😓😓

My memory definitely doesn’t seem like it used to.

Yes I should start working out again but I swear I’ve been trying everything I can. Everything just feels numb and everything looks fuzzy. 

I’m just not who I used to be and yes the old me or who I was feels dead and I wish I could get it back!

I’m glad you understand the message I’m sayinf but I’m sorry you have to go through it as well!
