I also, alot of times, get the feeling I'm not really here, like I'm looking at a movie or TV show.I had that feeling alot growing up as a child also. Sometimes things would be going in slow motion. Especially at night when I would try to sleep, it would scare me, I thought I was dying. I would be afraid to go to sleep. I would close my eyes and feel like I was falling back, like into the bed(in my head it was like falling into a hole). I never told anyone this so I never really knew what it was. Does that sound like a anxiety or panic attack?
I also get the feeling that the world should be a certain way and no other but the way I see it. That is probably different than the first thing I was describing, but no the less very frustrating.
Boy, after writing this I think I need more help than I thought. Hmmm.
Anyway, I am on Celexa (going on week 2) and I think it is helping me, I don't know yet. I feel I can handle life a little better, which I have a problem with dealing with everyday little things. I don't like the side effects so far (tired all the time, waking up at night, weird dreams) and I am so afraid that I am going to gain weight.
I always thought I had a "reality problem". Is there such a thing? thanks
