Hey! I'm new here! I'm wondering about any suggestions to a debilitating condition; as of now my brain is blank and my body is vibrating. I have OCD/ADHD-PI/ and near constant dissociative states(depersonalization/derealization).

I am having serious issues with life. I like my boss, and fellow employees, but the workload is a titanic amount for my brain to process. Its a simple job, but here is a list of symptoms:

1) Fugue statues- During the day my mind is overwhelmed with constant racing thoughts, mood swings, confusion as if my brain is saturated with a goo that numbs me and slows to a crawl any brain waves, and this applies to everything except warp speed internal activity. I don't remember what happens in daylight hours, EVER. The day is an eerie blur that I can only decipher based on keeping a log while in this dynamic state. This is why I flunked out in university, my mind is a violent whirlwind and I don't remember much of my life occurring, and I am too distract-able and unbeknownst to consequence to be truly disturbed by this.

2) Mental slowness- I can't think clearly, and when given even the simplest of responsibilities, I feel as if I'm wandering aimlessly/ walking in circles and cannot recognize that the outside world is an active environment (my senses don't even register it). Despite having an average iq with some very high scores in certain areas, throughout the entirety of my childhood to current life (20), people have been concerned that I may really be mentally "dim". This has cost me a great job already!

3)Physical symptoms- These include: 1) A "levitating" feeling, as if my head is floating by itself. 2) Buzzing- it feels like my brain is actually buzzing, like a more mild version of a washer shaking during a cycle, or a frayed wire humming. 3) jaw clenching. 4.) Racing heart. 5.) shortness of breath. 6.) Blurred vision. (These are not in order of intensity).

Any help would be VERY appreciated!!

I'm not sure what help you are looking for. If it is diagnosis this isn't the plaace. If it is support however, you have come to the right one.

I can relate to the mental slowness. It is a side effect of the medications. I feel I'have been dumbed down 10-20 IQ points. I especially notice it with simple tasks like basic math. I am afraid to have conversations with people because I lose words mid sentence and jumble up ideas. Feeling 'dim' is an apt description. It is the biggest reason I have been too frightened to return to work (my career is retail management; how the hell can I talk to customers and handle cash with such difficulties?).

I also understand most of your physical symtoms. I find that ensuring I take my medications at the exact same time everyday and forcing myself to eat with them helps - especially with the dizziness, buzzing, blurred vision, and what you describe as levitating.
Thanks for this!
