Just Wondering

Hi its me again,
I was just wondering if anyone ever feels like.. you are in a fog... where things are just so cloudy.. you walk around as if dreaming.
I have been going through that lately and I have been so forgetful.
And if so.. Plz give me some advice on how to deal with this..
Thank you so much

I get like that when Im really stressed - the only thing i find works for me is rest and relaxation and idnetifying getting past the thing that is worrying me - hope the fog clears for you soon

I will try and remember that... and thank you so much for letting me know that..

Is it dissociation? It's a spacy, out-of-it feeling.

When I get that way, it helps me to sit down and focus on my breathing and to remind myself that it will pass. I try to surf the feeling instead of fighting it.

You're not alone.

Well that is so nice to know.. I just hate feeling like i'm dreaming.. and to focus is so hard..But I guess I just have to deal with it...
And relax... what is that....lol

I have found its best to ride it out and not try to fight it so much. That just causes more anxiety and frustration for you. Sometimes you just gotta let your mind protect you.

And how long is all this going to last?????
I want my life back and my mind

Sorry - I know its frustrating - as my T would say - it takes as long as it takes - grrr - take care P7

The thing is that i have been on antidepressant meds and now i'm off it.. and i don't know if its just that my mind is trying to clear up or what?
Today I go to the Psychologists to see what we are going to do..
The Effexor is such an awful medicine to get off of.. So lets see what he says today..

I'd like to know one day how it is to think with a clear mind..

The fog is a way we got through situations and things that were to much for us. Its only as we dig up the past do we allow room for the fog to clear.

Now this is something that I'm not sure I'll be able to do.. I guess for so many years I have just thought I let everything go?
Just thinking of something turns my stomach..

I hope your psychologists visit goes well - sorry to hear you are struggling - take strength from us - you are not alone

i know exactly what you are going through! i have been living in a haze for a while now.
find a hobby. its helping me snap out of it (not that you can really snap out of anything)
im in drama at my high school. i know its sounds stupid but its really helping me remember.

(((Cleanhippie)))),
thank you for your thoughts and advice.. And no it doesn't sound stupid being in drama.. Because then you are able to express yourself.. I'm proud of you.. That you are able to get involved in things in school.
I do have a hobby.. I do a lot of beading.. I make jewelry.. I can't wait till spring is here to be outside because i love to garden and take walks to the river here and l listen to the water.. That helps me a lot.

Well let me know how your drama class is going.. keep in touch

You are important...
