I have been dealing with this issue, being in a daze, forgetting things since I was about 14 and got a concussion. You kids hang in there, you will learn to somewhat manage this as you grow older, it does not get better, but you learn how to adapt to it, making it not so bad anymore. I set reminders so I don't forget things, I always write down appointments and addresses etc. I am with you guys and hate this, I have managed to make it to 58 years old, I love everything about my life, except this issue, I have a wonderful wife that accepts my somewhat eccentric behavior, and loves me the way I am. I have managed to do well enough in business to retire at 45 years old, most people don't get to do that until 65. You can use this problem to your advantage, like I did, if you can focus on one task at a time.

Hm, for many people, after a concussion or mild TBI, they do actually get better.  The brain is pretty amazing at how it can heal. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327095  I'm just adding this as many get concussions and I don't want the to worry.  Post concussion syndrome can last a bit of time but does most often get better. It is true though, that for some, it will have a lasting effect on thinking, behavior, mood.  It sounds like that is you. You've found ways to manage it.  That is wonderful.  I think you have a very uplifting message here and appreciate it.

I feel the same way like im always in a dream. Its very disturbing and makes me feel like im going crazy. Im 43 years old and have had anxiety for over 20 years. For me it gets worse the older I get. Its very bizzare to live ur daily life like this.....  Im currently taking klonopin and just started cymbalta. Hoping this new drug will help. Good luck

I know! Me too. I feel trapped in my own mind and I HATE it so much. I know how you feel! I'm going to try and go to my doctor and tell her. I don't know if she will look at me like I am crazy or understand. Can you go to any other doctors or anything? If my doctor doesn't listen to me then I am going to try other doctors and try a therapist and maybe a phsycharitist. I hope someone understands! I want this to end just as much as you. I just don't know what to do! Everyone says that excursive will help but I haven't tried that yet and medication. It all happened when I was just sitting in my room like I am now listening to music and then all the sudden I felt different and weird! That was a month ago now. I'm still doing research on depersonalization but different people say different things about it so I'm just confused! I'm here to talk if you want since we are going through the same thing. Just message me.

Your not alone, I feel the same way. I just woke up not too long ago and felt the same way. I was very confused and had to realize where I am. I can relate to how you feel and it's horrible I know! I was saying the same things. It's only been a month for me so far and I wonder when this will end! I'm tired of feeling like I'm in a dream and can't wake up. Don't give up though! You have to just try your best to think positive and just keep going no matter how hard it is. You can talk to me anytime. Just take it one day at a time like me. I just think I have to get through today. You haven't been to a doctor to get medicine or anything?

I feel the exact same way. I'm 19 years old. This just recently started happening to me and I can't stand it either! I feel like I am in a dream 24/7 and nothing seems real to me. I don't even feel alive really. I hate this more than anything. I feel like I go all day without remembering anything that I did too. I am also very Irritable and get mad so easy and when I do get mad I just want to punch something! I feel like I can't control my thoughts and how I feel. This makes my anxiety go crazy! I am always worrying and scared that this will never go away and I can't deal with that. I don't know what to do. I also have depression along with this. I hope this goes away soon. I can't stand feeling this way. I went to my doctors to get medicine for depression and anxiety and I hope that will help with this. I just have to try and think positive and keep thinking that things will get better and to stay strong.

I have the exact same thing with my anxiety. It is called depersonalization/ derealization. this and popping and cracking joints with extreme fatigue are my worst symptoms. Ive had anxiety for almost a year and it's not as bad as it used to be but I still have it. It will be ok. Just don't concentrate on it and have faith. Do you have any other symptoms besides depersonalization?

dude when i read this it honestly sounds like i wrote it. i mean besides the staring off thing but i do sometimes catch myself gettin confused or doin something i cant remember and like when i wake up in the morning im ok for about 15 min then it all starts but all day things are real fuzzy and blurry and when im talkin to someone i feel like im not there but have u tried talkin to ur parents seriously about it or do they think its a excuse because ur grades are dropping and let me know what an eeg is i havent heard of it...

well its like im in a dreamy daze and i go like all day without remembering anything that i did the whole day in class and i continue to fail my tests because i do not know anything about the stuff. and my parents still expect me to get good grades. and other than that i have anger problems to where if i get smacked at all even just a little slap any where on my body i flip out and wanna beat them up. and other than that i will be sitting somewhere and all of a sudden realize that i was staring at something for like 15 minutes if not more. and i also feel like i am controling my body from somewhere else and its like im not me it feels like i am floating in mid air, i also feel like things arnt right and feels like im am sleeping and that im in a dream. i just cant handle it anymore. its pissing me off so badly i just dont think i can handle it anymore i feel like i wanna die constantly just so i dont have to deal with the **** anymore.

Hey man I'm 19 years old and I kinda feel the same way. Do u kinda feel like ur not in complete control of ur thoughts or things like that and a lot of ur anxiety can be coming from the fact u feel like this. I mean I played football in high school and was pretty healthy and now I'm like how could this be happening to me but give me some more feed back on how u feel man...
