Hi my name is Jeremy and ive been struggling with anxiety for the past 2 years, it was at its worst in late 2007 i had a huge panic attack when my mom and i were in the airport, we were in our way to go to a doctor appiontment for a scan on my brain in the amen center, my anxiety was so bad that i couldnt get in the plane. so we decided to drive down to los angeles…. ive been seeing a physcologist and hes suscribed me with all sorts of pills but i had always had those odd thoughts..not till now ive been doing good now..im not taking the pills anymore but im still having those irrational thoughts wich could be draing i know when i excersise it does go away, i was thinking of taking a yoda dvd, see if that works.. i also recomend the midwest center it gives you tool to work with these scary thoughts…… thanks for your time

Hi Angie- welcome to the blog, i help Paul moderate the site and thought i would point you in the right direction! Old blog posts tend to get left behind, if you go to the latest post called ’signing of for christmas’ you will find lots of people there and conversation!

Im pregnant too and have suffered exactly the same thoughts, but stick around as iv managed to help myself and really have got a lot better. There are plenty of people on here who have suffered odd thoughts and recovered from there anxiety… hope to speak to you soon!

About 2 years ago,i was outside working and i suddenly got lightheaded and it got worse and suddenly a feeling went down my body and and i started shaking and feeling cold,and weak. Its like my body changed to a different feeling. My head is so tight feeling that i cant even move it.and all of this stuff im telling you,happens all day.Its like i feel like i have a illness,and its just there and i dont no what to do.Soon as i wake up in the mornin till i go to sleep.Now recently i started having a feeling that was shooting through my face,and it feeling like a electric shock throughout my body.

Hello everyone, my name is David and I am new to this blog. Hope everyone is ok. Finally after nearly two years of doctors visits, brain scans, food intolerance tests, to name a few, I finally think there is a name for what I feel. Depersonalisation! Since Feb ‘07 I have fely spaced out or dizzy/lightheaded everyday and none if the specialists know why. This all started suddenly one day.

I find that reading, working on a computer can make the feeling worse but I generally get it everyday and very sporadically. It’s hard to describe, like a congestion in my head or a lack of clarity. This whole problem makes concentration very difficult. I am glad to see that I am not alone with this and finding this website really does help.

I had been on a long holiday last summer (about 4 months) and in August I started my first real job as an elementary school teacher. I was terrified to start the work since it was the biggest responsibility that I had ever had and I was then in the worst condition of my life with a severe depersonalisation. At the same time I felt that it was exactly what I needed to move focus away from myself and now, after 8 months of working, I can say it really was. The autumn was very stressful and there were many days when I felt so bad that I wasn’t sure if I could take it much longer. But as I continued I started getting more and more confidence in myself as I realised that I actually manage to take care of the job just fine. If I had just stayed at home I think I would’ve gotten much worse. Now I actually like my job most of the time.

Good luck Debbie, I think it was a great desicion to go back!

Hi Debbie, I agree, when I felt at my worst I needed a break, but once I had that I felt I needed a structure to my day. Something to aim for and give myself another focus. I would say yes, you have now the knowledge and tools just to get on with your day and whatever it brings then thats fine. Remember all symptoms are just feelings, nothing else, a minor irritation at times, but hey so what.

Do let us know how you get on, I am sure being back to being busy and having a another focus will do you the world of good.

Paul
