This morning i felt like i was hallucinating when i first woke up all day long i feel like i am seeing things out of the corner of my eyes move. has anyone felt like this. and that i am not loosing my mind. I also feel like even my daughter is foriegn to me everything makes me scared. and when i say everything i mean everything. just sitting quietly by myself makes me scared. I feel like a starnger to myself does any of this make sense. i am scared i have some terrible mental illness. is this anxiety

My husband and i have recently seperated in feb. i am no living alone with my little girl. I had a panic attack in august. my husband has moved two hours away and i have no family or friends here. I started taking meds prescribed by my doctor (it took some adjusting on the meds for a month)  and then all last week was feeling wonderful after many weeks of feeling scared and panicy out of my mind. my very strange dreams and insomnia are back. i was doing so well and now i feel like i am back to sqaure one. Racing thoughts that dont make sense. almost like i am picking up bits and pieces of a tv show.  i dont mean i hallucinatet that things are not there i see trails and flashes of light some times. floaters in my vision. does this ever go away. I think what scares me the most is that i am affarid that i gonna get some kind of amnesia. how could my own daughter feel strange to me that.

I have had all your symptoms, it's a state of derealization and is common in anxious, depressed people.  I would look at getting some therapy, there is obviously something that has happened to make you thiis way; loss of a loved one, loss of self, relationship, financial problems, whatever... you are not alone.

I have no idea what's causing your symptoms... but you certainly sound coherent and fairly rational.

I don't really relate to the symptoms you're describing, but it might be helpful to provide a little more information.  How long have you been experiencing these feelings?  What do you mean by hallucinations?  Are you actually imagining things that aren't there?  Or are you simply experiencing odd vision... flickering lights or spots or something like that?

Are you currently taking any medications?  What has your doctor said about all this?  I'm presuming you've visited a doctor... it's not really clear from your post.

I guess the more information you provide, the more likely someone will be able to respond with a meaningful bit of advice.

Hang in there!
