Anyone feel weird ALL THE TIME?

Hello everyone,
Just want to know whether anyone else here feels strange 100% of the time? I know that when you have panic attacks you can get numbness and tingling and headache......... but i seem to have it most of the time, pretty much all day. I just feel like im in a dream all the time, im scared all the time, does anyone else get this?
I took myself into ER earlier today in the hope that someone could help but they didnt even examin me, they just said to go home and calm down, why cant they just reassure me? Am i really going crazy?
Thnks again.

Episodes of a (or even a constant) weird dream-like state can be caused by temporal lobe epilepsy. Luckily, my mom had these same type of seizures I did, and I start telling her about them as soon as I had the vocabulary to describe it and was medicated for it by the age of 14. My mom, though wasn't diagnosed correctly until her early 40s and, because of the lack of treatment, now has several severe autoimmune diseases and all sorts of other medical conditions that have taken over her life. Temporal lobe epilepsy can also cause all sorts of mental, physical, and emotional effects that can be easily misdiagnosed by even the best psychologists and doctors.

I went through this last year. It took a whole year for it to go away!! What I did was started taking paxil and taking liberties with social issues. It will go away, say strong.

I am new here, but so glad I found yall.  I have been reading posts and I am glad to know I am not the only one.  I have been having headaches for almost 1 year, progessively getting worse.  I finally went to the doctor and he put me on Methocarbamol and Meloxicam together.  After 2 days of taking them,  2 hours after taking another dose, severe panic set in.  It lasted off and on for 24 hours.  I called and he reduced the dose by more than half.  2 hours after meds again, a panic / anxiety attack happened.  this one less severe, but still 24 hours long.  I have stopped the meds, but am just not back to normal.  head in a fog, just dont feel right.  sometimes I feel as if my body doesnt belong to me. some nervousness and anxiety I think,  I feel like I just cant shake this.  As long as I stay super busy, I feel somewhat normal, but the moment I slow down its back.  I havent been able to work or concentrate and I do feel like I just cant live this way the rest of my life.  Does this sound like an anxiety issue continueing or am I loosing my mind??  p.s.   the bloodwork, ct scan, etc. says Im fine.   PLEASE HELP.

Meditation can help a lot .You don`t have to be into buddhism. With meditation you sit in a quiet spot and try to just think about one thing.If it is a flower just close your eyes and just think about that one thing and all the good things about it .Buddhist philosophy is also good and calms the mind.

i cant control my emotion just when someone affected something on my mind i will suddenly change my motion but badly i almost change the my emotion in the bad way. i dont know either, but i always feel bad all the time D:
I meant I never look back and proud in my self i almost upset with everything such my self or something surrounding me, my social, my friends even the family.I always feel worthless. I have no spirit in my life. I dont know what i really want in my life and I dont know what to live for.

hey I've been feeling really weird for about 4 months now it all started towards the ending of June when I got really dizzy. My dizziness lasted about 2 weeks during that time my girlfriend gave birth to my daughter on July 2nd. I also lost my sense of taste for about a week and a half. Since then I went to the doctor to get my ears cleaned out (had a lot of impact wax) that was probably causing my dizziness. For the last 4 months I've been battling day and night with a feeling of being detached from myself also feels like I'm walking around 24/7 in dream world. It really ***** cause I feel like my daughter never really got a chance to meet her father the fun wacky loving person I was before all of this. also I have strange thoughts that I'm losing control like I really flipped my wig I know its ridicules but sometimes these symptoms does get the best of me. Will I ever get my old self back???

Yes, I am 52 years old and had that feeling after smoking pot when I was 18 years old.  It always comes back it different times of my life and really hard to beat.  I am going through it now again. I found that Lexapro in the past has helped me, but now I am not able to take lexapro due to it causes vaso constriction in your brain I had to go off of it.  I would never smoke pot again it ruined my life by knowing this unreal feeling. I am currently taking Klonipan at night only 2 night on it. Makes me tired all day and I feel no betther. Just praying this feeling will go away. Good luck to you, and it's definitely an anxiey thing happening.

Sounds like me, I've been to heart doctor he says I'm fine, gp says I'm fine. But I'm not, I just don't feel right and I'm freaking out over thoughts of bad things happening. I take Ativan to stop it, but I'm taking everyday. Cause I can't stop them by myself. Help

I feel the same way like I thought I was going insane but it really helps knowing there are other people who feel this way. Its really rough constantly having the feeling of death. But does it get any better in time?

I also feel like I'm going to die at least 1 time throughout the day... crazy cause I'm on elevil as Lexa pro had to many side effects. But now I see a therapist who has me believing I can beat this thing called anxiety. It's OK to take aantidepressants I hate being alone stay at home mom. Worst fear having a seizure or stroke and no one there but my kids and me.
