hello. i'm ashley.i'm 24 and im new to this forum i found by accident. i have been having these strange feelings for quite some time, i can't take it anymore. i have hid them for long because i'm embarrassed because i don't know how to describe them.
maybe someone can help me that knows what im talking about.
i feel as if im constantly in a dream,haze. Like im in a glass pane. it's strange. it's worse in public. I can see and hear people, and life going on around me, but i'm not part of it , im just observing it like im watching a movie of myself, just going through the motions, but i don't feel in control of my thoughts,words, or actions, it just flows out of me. because of this i can't think straight. i lose track of time, i have always had trouble remembering things, even simple instructions, because of this it's worse. i can't even complete simple things,like clean my house. i blank out and forget what im doing and lose track of time, i feel like im not here. my mother yells at me and says im just stupid and lazy or on dope because i dont finish things or forgot simple intsructions she ask me to do. but i know somethings wrong and can't describe it. so i sleep all day because im so afraid. i take forever even going to the store for a few things because i forget what i came for, i wander around like im in a haze,sometimes it feels like i can't feel my body because i feel lightheaded and my body feels light,like a dream and everything seems fuzzy, or sometimes too vivid. i know im not psycotic, but im just as scared. nothing seems real. I feel i'm observing myself in third person or something.
i don't even know how to even approach my therapist with this.
hopefully someone can give me a idea what might be going with me, and tell me i'm not a freak. my mother already thinks im whack job, so i can't tell her.
its affecting my ability to function at times. i feel detached from people and myself, i feel like i don't know myself or have control of myself. please help.

Im sorry dazed and confused but it is you that must tell us what your problems are.
we cant tell you what your problems are because thats called making a diagnosis and we are not allowed to do that here.
what we do here is tell each other if we have had the same problems that you have had and we can tell you what our doctors told us it was for us.
I have gone through feeling like you have.
sometimes it happened with me because of -
an anxiety/panic attack
wrong medicine
too much medicine
not enough medicine
dissociation
anemia
dehydration
not eating the right way
not getting enough sleep.
getting drunk
smoking
high blood pressure
stress
Multiple Sclerosis/Parkinson's diseases/Muscular Dystrophy (I havent gone through all the tests yet to narrow it down any further.)
the treatment for what it was for me varied according to wha tit was. Sometimes medication took care of it, sometimes mental health therapy took care of it, sometimes physical therapy takes care of it.
that said if you google your symptoms you will find that what you are going through can be any mental disorder and any physical problem.
like I said we cant diagnose your problems. it is you that must tell us what your problems are called. to find out what your problems are called you need to talk with Doctors and psychiatrists and therapists in the area / off line where you live.
