I don’t really know how to describe it… I’ve been feeling strange for the past few days, as if I’m in limbo between a dream and reality. I’ve never felt like this before in my life, and it’s a pretty scary experience; I’m not hallucinating or anything like that, but I just feel out of it. When I look around, it’s as if I’m in a movie; everything seems to have a lack of substance and appears hazy. I read up on derealization and I suppose what I’m feeling relates to that more than anything else. Though (due to OCD and high levels of anxiety), I worry myself sick over the possibility of other serious mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and what not, and am deathly afraid that I might be losing my mind. That thought frightens me more than anything else, and I picture myself in a loony bin, staring out the window at a life I’ll never experience again, which brings tears to my eyes. I’m mentally and physically exhausted from the lack of sleep I’ve been getting, and so I finally went to see my doctor on Tuesday. I told him everything, but he highly doubts I’m schizophrenic (he had a mother who was, and had been around a few others), and instead thinks it’s just a matter of sleep deprivation. He handed me three boxes of Seroquel in 50 mg (which he did explain were used for psychotic patients) to get me back on a regular sleeping pattern, and sent me on my way. Still, I wasn’t convinced, and that night around 7:00, I took a pill and hopped in bed, hoping that it would work. After about half an hour (that’s the approximate time it usually takes to kick in), I finally drifted off, but only for about 6:00 hours. Around 1:00, I woke up, went pee, had a glass of water, and then went back to bed. Finally, it was around 8:00 when I awoke again, a reasonable time to get up, pounding headache, dry mouth and all; it was so uncomfortable. The worst part is that I was still tired, and felt that same derealization affect. Again, I went back to sleep, and this time (even without the medication), I slept til’ around 7:00. Again though; no real difference. Exhaustion was only lessened a bit, but the derealization seemed to be getting even worse. Now, here I am, 1:30 in the morning, writing this (I already took my pill), unable to fall asleep. I’m at a loss, and am really unsure about what to do. I feel like breaking down, because it’s just too much. Any help would be much appreciated, assuming anyone takes the time to read all this. Thanks in advance.

Oh, and also (I’m not sure if this is relevant or not; I assume it’s related to anxiety and lack of sleep), I’ve been experiencing some pretty bad headaches and feeling cold when I really shouldn’t be. Another thing worth mentioning would be that my sex drive is at an all time low, and when I do manage to ejaculate (only once or twice since I started feeling like this), it’s not nearly as pleasurable, and neither are other daily activitites in which once brought me joy; music, movies, televsion, etc. I’m just totally depressed, and I’m starting to wonder if this is indeed related to depression (I’ve been feeling depressed for a long time, but never the derealization), or if I really am starting to go crazy? Again, thanks.

I know this is long, but if it’s one good deed you can do for the day, please help me. I’ll even add a TL;DR at the bottom.

Ok. So a few days ago I asked some questions about Anxiety.
As it is now – I feel like I can’t control myself. I feel as if the world isn’t real, my vision feels messed up, like there is a invisible glass in front of it and I realized I can see pictures in my head and it’s scaring me. I also am having trouble breathing and I’m conscious of every breath.

At first my vision messed up after I strained my neck. Then a few months passed after dealing with it, and I got deep in thought about the universe and why humans are humans; I was generally depressed that my vision was screwed up and that the five or so doctors I wen’t to couldn’t find anything wrong and diagnosed it as anxiety, then it hit me. I felt like I couldn’t control my actions and I was watching me mentally through a theater. Then the things I read on the internet followed, like conscious breaths, and narrating your every movement.

When I go out and socialize I forget about these things and they go away, but as soon as I think "What was I worried about?" "Oh yea." they come back no matter what I’m doing and hit me like a brick. I feel like I’m going insane and I feel as if this could never be treated and I’m going to be like this for the rest of my life. I don’t have any money to visit a therapist and If I go to the doctor again they are going to say I should just sleep it off… I’m not even getting help from family members.

I’m only 18 and I feel as if I’m going to be like this for the rest of my life!

Is this Anxiety, depression or what? Can it be treated? I’m scared. Every day my mind creates new things to worry about and be paranoid about. I just hope I can be cured from this affliction.

TL;DR: Vision is messed up, feel like I can’t control myself, I’m conscious that I can see pictures in my mind and my breathes are manual. Constant depression, panic attacks and all sorts of depersonalization and derealization. I feel like I’m going insane and I also feel like this could never be treated and I’ll never recover from this nightmare. I’ve been to many doctors who say I’m find and it’s just anxiety.

A little into my life:

Had a baby almost 2 years ago, am 23 and living with my bf, had some depression before meeting him and after having a baby (which I know can be common), so DR put me on Cipralex. He told me to get soem therapy but the cheapest therapy I could find I still could not afford as we are on a very tight budget. (IF YOU KNOW OF FREE THERAPY IN VANCOUVER BC CANADA LET ME KNOW!).

I used to be the most outgoing, life of the party teenager, didnt care what people thoguht of me and was always "happy".

Now that my body has changed so much since having a kid (bed rest @ 6mnths, 3rd degree tear, muscles torn on stomach area, stretch marks galore) Ive felt more anxious about life. I know thats normal so I understand that part, but I also dont feel like I can talk to people anymore. Im a stay at home mama so was wondering if thats cuz Im not around adults anymore?

I sweat all the time when in public, whether its raining or sunny, I studder and cant get the words out, I look down alot and cant really look people in the eyes. Im wondering if this could be because of cipralex (anti depressant) or is something wrong with me or does every mom go through this?

My Boyfriend works full time and is an awesome dad and huge help when hes home. hes amazing. hes the mane very girl would want yet I dont feel happy with him. I dont feel as in love as I ever did and feel like Id rather be alone then with him.

Sometimes I feel like I dont care about anything but my son, and just want to run away or die (I never ever try to kill myself or anything like that but sometimes I feel like theres a voice in my head thinking and suggesting things I could do, but Ive never listened)

I feel like Im talking to someone sometimes when Im home alone with just my little kid. While Im doing dishes, cooking, brushing my teeth, showering whatever I have these convos not out loud to myself but Im running scenerios in my head and I seem to pretend like its real with maybe people I know or dont. Its wierd and hard to explain cuz this has never happened to me much before.

I go up and down sometimes, from happy to angry to frustrated (maybe hormones??).

for the last month Ive had a really bad eye twitch in one eye, almost every day at least once every 5 minutes it twitched for the first 3 weeks its slowed down a bit now but still very there.

Ive also had a problem with binge eating (I dont purge or anything like that but I just cant stop eating).

I also was smoking weed in my past alot (not much since having a child and not at all while pregnant!)
But sometimes when my baby is at his grandparents I will smoke a joint and it always calms me and makes me feel better but …I dont want to be smoking weed anymore now that Im a mother, I know that im not addicted to marijuana because I never crave it or feel I need it and I dont always have it around. But its like a glass of wine with dinner for me I just dont want to now that my son is getting older.

I dont know, I have alot of questions about myself right now and alot of confusion in whats going on with me… Im familyless as my family is very distant and all live their own lives, my mother wants nothing to do with me for no reason and I dont talk with my siblings. My father was never around and so Ive always felt really alone. I just need some help I think..
You are both So kind and nice to have said those things about me Thank you so much for that (when your in a depression anything nice is way more than just words)

I will talk to my dr about those things you guys suggested, for sure!
