confusion, panic, dizziness, eyes seem weird

I really need help.  I'm 21 yrs old and when i was studying abroad i just felt gradually and gradually worse.  Feelings of confusion, panic, easily startled....and just feeling in a fog.  I was also very sick with something later on and ever since i feel 20x worse.    Now my eyes feel like they are crossed and when i talk to someone and look at them, it seems like my eyes get more and more blurry to where i have to look away.  Everything looks dull and it seems like my eyes can't focus to objects correctly.  Besides that, i'm always feeling confused and feelings of being in a fog...like everything around me is going on around me while im not there...occasionally i will get a twitch as well. I can't concentrate on anything nor think straight at all... I had a test that said i had mono but a long time ago(7months ago), but all my blood tests/sugar levels are fine according to doc's.  Now they are treating for depression and im on wellbutrin.  im pretty much at the point where i'm becoming suicidal b/c i can't take this anymore.  I used to love to run, read, and do so many things and i can't do anything anymore.  i've been like this since march and if i remain like this for much longer i cant take it anymore.....i have job interviews and all sorts of things right now.  Somebody help

Hey I've been going through the same things im always dissy and my head has loads of pressure and my mind just never seems to wanna et go of these feelings im having heck when I close my eyes I see weird pictures and shapes when my eyes are open I see pictures that look very real to me like its like im their I do things to calm my mind down like music sports things like that sometimes that won't work its sorta something you have to train yourself to so you know ur mind bc right now our minds are taking over and as of now its winning. Here's something else when you wasn't experiencing these spells and all. Wat you don't know is that the same things were happening to you when u were enjoying life and it didn't freak you out but now that these things are happening its scary to you but really its happened before. Al I have to say is cope with it don't use meds bc meds makes it worse in the long run and the way I see it you want it gone for good this is a job for u to do it on ur own make it go away. This may sound weird but I want you to love the feelings ur having the more u love it and enjoy it the less you worry about it.believe me

Im going through it now. When im driving long distance i always fall into this daze or when im at work i'll find myself dazing into no where and its hard to stop. Im also geting bad anxiety attacks in meetings and crowded public places, especially when i think people are staring at me then its gets real bad because i think they notice im freaking out and it gets worse... All this tells me its got to be Anxiety Disorder of some sort. I have been mildly depressed the past few years but when i drink alcohol everything is fine until the next day when its even worse, its a horrible cycle. I have noticed that when i do finally get off my *** and do something physical and enjoyable im 10 times better. I think for me is Depression that leads to Anxiety that leads to more Depression...
I think the best therapy is a lifestyle change to eat healthy, exercise, and quit drinking alcohol... if that doesnt work then i'll just stay drunk...lol

Hi everyone, my name is john and i just wanted to say i too have many of the symptoms as all of you. To me, the vision problems is the worst. some days are better than others. I have a question, did any of you start experiencing these symptoms after smoking weed? I believe its all just part of anxiety.
