View Full Version : Weird spacey and disconected feeling. Kinda scared
Hello all this is my first post. I just joined today. I have had GAD and panic attacks for about 2 to 3 years now. I have not been having a good week:shrug: It started on Monday. (dont worry this relates to the title) I was at the gym with some of my friends. I worked pretty hard(trying to get that summer bod up and going :D) I almost passed out from not breathing right while lifting, and I did not have much to eat. My friend Kevin had to drive me home because I was very lightheaded and seeing lines in my eyes. I was very terrified out passing out so I was having an anxiety attack at the same time. joy joy. Well I did not pass out but ever since I have had intense anxiety and moderate depression all week. I took a leave of absence from work till monday due to the anxiety. I went to see my shrink yesterday. He put me on 30mg of Lexapro. (I was on 20mg before) due to my depression. I have been pretty depressed for a while. Now I feel very spacey and almost like a stoned feeling(not in a good way lol) almost slight confusion, or maybe I am just thinking about it to much. I am getting worried tho it feels as if my eyes are kind of bugging out and I want to sleep this feeling off but I am too tense to do so. I am not sure if it is the side effect of the new med increase or anxiety or a combo of both. HELP!

Man i First go this feeling after my first, and craziest panic attack which happened 1 year ago. Since then i have been to the hospital many a times, gotten ekgs, blood tests, and every turns out to be ok. I had a blood in my stool for months, frequent symptoms of IBS , and this constant stoned feeling. The feeling seems to elevate after a major panic attack, which i get once every few months now. IF i let the Panic attack take over while im having it then i experience very lightheaded feelings for the next few weeks. I am Certain that this is anxiety , but i haven't been cured and after a year i still have the feeling :(. Since it i worse when i am in darker lit areas, or at night time my physch thinks it has something to do with breathing but i don't think so. I think it is from the constant flow of neurochemicals keeping my nervous system in a steady state of arousal.
My heart goes out to you because I totally get how this 'out of it ' feeling can encroach on your daily life.
This is anxiety kicking in ..nothing more and nothing less..and it WILL pass.Trust me!
Wishing you well

Thanks you guys! It is really refreshing knowing that I am not alone. The spaced out feeling is not as bad as it was yesterday. So I am trying to stay positive and let it pass. I am actually feeling quite well today. I just kept busy and didnt sit around playing the "what if" game like I usually do.
Thanks again guys!
