Calling out for help from you guys, for the last 3 mornings I've woken up feeling terrible.
It Started Thursday morning, (12/12/13) I awoke from a very vivid dream and just felt that the dream was more realistic than my actual reality, I had this strange alien feeling in the pit of my belly, I looked out my window and feel disorientated, then all of a sudden went into frozen fear.. I had that 'cold flush' feeling come over me, I kept saying "oh my god, I'm trapped.. I'm stuck in a dream state and I'm not going to get out" through out the day I slowly came back down to earth, but I've been feeling very strange since then.. like I sort of don't know myself, or that I've changed some how... I'm assuming this is Derealisation?
I've been waking up about 8 AM and falling back to sleep around 3 PM, then waking up again at 10 PM and feeling massively disorientated, not knowing whether I've slept until the next morning or not. I've been working a lot of late night shifts since 11th November, I'm wondering is it because of my sleeping pattern? I usually go to bed about 7 AM most mornings, and wake up at 5 PM... I'm pondering on going back on medication, but I have a feeling meds will only cause further DR.
Please help :( I feel terrible and trapped in my own mind.
