Hello, I am 21 years old female and have been suffering from what I believe to be is either GAD or derealization for about 8 months now and I feel it all through out the day 24/7. What I think triggered it was one night I binged on an illegal substance and pulled an all nighter. I can count on one hand how many times I have used the drug. The next morning I had a severe anxiety attack and went to the hospital thinking I over dosed. All they did was a few heart tests and got out the same day. A couple weeks later I started to feel very disoriented and out of reality. My sister and family tell me it's just anxiety and to not think about it so much. But the strange thing is I rarely have a racing heart and never once have experienced a panic attack. I just feel like I have brain fog all the time and all I want to do is lay down. I used to be able to drink with my friends and have fun but I can't even enjoy a drink without feeling edgy or getting a hangover from hell to the point I think I'm going crazy the next day. Everything in front of me almost looks like a picture if that makes sense. I use to enjoy work but now it's a task just getting through every day without having to rub my face multiple times to "snap back into it" my balance is off. I walk sideways all the time at work. But I just don't understand if this is all just anxiety, why do i not get attacks? Did I do brain damage from the illegal substance? Am I slipping into a psychosis? Please please please help me with any advice you have I'm desperate!!!! P.s. I also have obsessive thinking about my new condition. 97% of the day all I'm doing is thinking about my new weird sensations and I cannot stop thinking about it or what it really could be!!

Oh my gosh I've totally dealt with what you're describing, where everything looks like a picture. I think it's from the drugs, I didn't notice this happening to me until I started heavily smoking pot and tripping. It happens right before an anxiety attack for me. Sometimes taking deep breaths and taking a bath makes me feel better, but otherwise I don't know how to help, just wanted to relate sorry you have to deal with this.

You may want to see your PCP to run some tests, to make sure this isn't a physical problem. I've never heard of being off balance and having to walk sideways being symptoms of an anxiety disorder. It also may soothe your anxiety to be checked out and (hopefully) be told that you will be fine.

Wishing you all the best and I really hope you get back to normal. Good luck!

Hi, I have to respond here,, Im using my tablet and it doesnt go past a long quote.
It is possible that when you were on the drug, An entity could have entered,
It would cause your symptons.
When the feelings come up dont let it scare you.
just watch it and it will go away.
if you let the fear overtake you, it thrives on. Fear,
just watch it and diminich.
This is my spiritual experience.
keep trying as I have explained and it will go away.
Good luck
