Man, I am not sure of the triggers but so far in the last three days, I have faded in and out so much I can't tell you how many times I went in and out. Today alone, I faded in and out at least three times. I was very anxious, and so it would seem to be a big thing that triggers these states. I am not sure who took over. I believe it was the boss/smart one. I remember starting a meeting with the builder of my house and I faded in for part of it and then faded out again. I faded in and out at the grocery store. I still don't know what it is about that stupid grocery store. My H and I am in the middle of downsizing my car situation and I faded in and out yesterday at the dealership and today when we went there.
Then tonight while watching tv, a news program about the presidential process update, I just felt floaty. That is a good word.
I still feel sort of floaty.
Maybe it is because my H was suppose to meet with my p-doc, but couldn't in the end due to work. Maybe before it was due to him going, and then after I don't know.
While I was watching TV I actually had a hard time feeling my body.
Anyway, if you have a hard time relating to this dont worry, I have a hard time too and I am living it. I am dreaming alot but I cant remember them very well. I am having flashbacks some but everything has slowed down. I am sort of in a holding pattern I think. Like the dam is leaking but very slowly. I guess because I have been holding back from my therapist this is some fallout.
Anyway, thanks for listening. I don't feel depressed per se just floaty and weird. Even kinda of dizzy. Like this page wants to spin as I type. I guess I will take a xanax and try to sleep.

RSK,
Have you had any bloodwork done recently? If you don't feel depressed, it could be a number of things affecting your energy level. It could be your thyroid, low potassium, B12 or other vitamin deficiencies. If my thyroid med needs adjusted or my potassium is low, I don't have enough energy to stand up and I can barely talk. I take a multi-vitamin plus extra B and C vitanins. If I don't eat enough foods with potassium in them, then it drops. Lately, I've been buying water with vitamins in it at your favorite place (the grocery store). Go ahead...give me a cyber-slap. It comes in all different flavors and most of them taste pretty good. Just wanted to suggest this to you as an alternative to taking an AD or something to think about. Take care, my friend. Have a good weekend. It's supposed to hit 80 here for the first time since Oct. Hope the sun's shining where you are. Maybe some sunshine will do all of us some good. Let's HOPE. Hugs

Yyup I agree, check for physiological causes.
Menopause, or pre-meno can do weird sh*t to the bod.
Other stuff too.
Are you taking other than xanax?
Mebbe meds would help?
I kinda messed some, and I dunno either.
FWIW the grocery store often sets me off too. I can behave very oddly I think, I catch myself, and have to work like hell to keep it cool. I have NO idea why?

RSK,
Top priority is finding out what is going on and what needs to be done to get you feeling better. Take care of yourself. Don't worry about responses. We'll be here. Hugs
