Anxiety often comes with depression so I wouldn't be surprised if you have anxiety. I, too, have some feelings of unreality & difficulty comprehending what someone is saying to me when I'm anxious. I had that recently when I was gong to get a facial cuz I had a 1/2 off coupon. Well, she had me fill out some forms & one wanted to know what medications I'm on. I'm on a lot for bp 1 & after I wrote them all down I got really anxious about what she would think of me. I couldn't understand what she was saying. Basically, she told me to go take my shirt off & lie down on the table face-up under the sheet & blanket. I didn't understand & found a shirt on a hook & put that on. I opened the door & asked her if this is what I was supposed to put on. She looked at me strangely & repeated the instructions. Then I asked her if I should be face-up or face-down! Well, duh, for a facial your face needs to be up so she can work on it. It was scary to not comprehend what she was saying to me & kinda forget why I was there--a facial or a massage?

Anxiety can do really weird things! Hope your doc can help you see if you have anxiety. It certainly sounds like it.--Suzy
