Feeling like I am in a dream.. like i am asleep..

[CMSliwa]

Hi.  I was wondering if anyone else feels like this..  I never posted a topic explaining my feeling.  It is hard to explain.

Ever since my first panic attack at age 13 I feel as if I have fallen into a coma.  I feel like I am asleep.  My head feels lightheaded, like there is a soft fog right beneath my eyes that cause me to be unable to see, feel, hear... etc.  

When I dream at night I wake up not knowing if it was a dream or if it was real, because i feel almost the exact same.  I feel like I am floating around in a dream.  There has not been one moment where I have "awoken" or "the fog has lifted."  It has been like this everymoment of every day for 5 years.

I have depression, anxiety, and panic.  I have been on meds which made me feel better, but I am still "asleep".  Nothing has woken me up.  

I feel like I'm just gonna wake up from a coma one day.  

Does anyone else feel like this.. or have felt like this?  Is there hope?  The docs told me the meds should help this feeling in a year or 2, but its been 5 and i am losing hope of ever waking up

Hi I haven't got any problems with my health as far I think. At the mo I have been feeling lightheaded and feels like I'm not here as a dream. It's horrible, I Just want to be normal like u used to be. When I'm distracted or busy I feel fine but when I think about it I feel worse. I worry it's heart problem or blood pressure etc. I'm scared to be honest as I'm only 38 and I got a gorgeous 5 years old daughter and I don't want her to have a dad till she gets married etc. Help me! Is it my head or I need tl get myself checked up

Great answer, and the most helpful on here.
I've always tried to find the trigger to pull myself out of it, there can be many triggers, and that's what all of the others have missed
Peace

hey nmxx,
im not sure what it is completely however i have been to doctors, im 20 years of age and was feeling it constantly when i was 14 for about 8 months. it effected everything, from school to social activities to the point where nothing i could do was enjoyable.
After going to the doctor at that age he diagnosed me with depression and anxiety. I thought theres no way that it could be, so after that i then was seeing a psychiatrist and he did help.
5 years went by and the majority of the time i was happy and could be normal i suppose. but i felt this feeling never went away at all, like it was always there, and then i suppose my mind gradually over took my thought process again and as of now im back to living in this fear of "what is this,"
i have been to doctors and they have done blood tests for everything also had my upper torso x rayed and a ultra sound, i have had a mri scan on the brain for anything showing and nothing showed up. i have literally tried everything with doctors. i recently had a septoplasty (nasal passages fixed) because the doctor thought i could be just tired from sleep obstruction. but the feeling stays around.
im starting to think that this could be a mental illness that can be fixed but not sure how. and that it is related to anxiety even tho i get the anxiety because of this feeling. if you get to the bottom of your problem please let me know.

Hello everyone! I'm a 19 years old and I feel the same way for 3 years now. no body believes me and they tell me that I shouldnt think this way as if I had the control. I never saw a doctor about it. everybody's comments relief me and makes me more terrified at the same time. please! please if there is anyone out there like me just help me and tell me how or what or why or if there atleast people feeling the same and talk to me, I'm really scared.

I see that a lot of people are feeling the same way like I do. Meaning no senses, because they feel like they are floating in the air, and seeing a cloud near the area below their eyes and around. My solution to all these problems is to find FAITH, to STEP AWAY FROM THE NATURAL AND COME OVER TO THE SUPERNATURAL. Meaning: Having Faith in God: Jesus Christ the Lord. If we all keep on praying and keep on holding on in having Faith we can all overcome, win, conquer these problems.  God is LOVE. Read this from the bible, the verse is also online. Exodus: 20:20,  Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning." There are two meaning of fear. 1st: Fearing the Lord. Meaning to respect and honor Him. Listening to Him, and following His Commandments. 2nd: Fearing away from the Lord, meaning that you have something to hide that you're afraid for God to know and show Him.  LOVE, don't hate. Bring PEACE to the world, not war. God is all around, God is over, underneath, inside, and in between. Dream out loud! Love freely! <3 :)
