Help me please

hello for about six months i really have not been feeling myself, my personality has completely changed, i never feel like i am actually here i just feel like i am constantly in auto pillot walking around, i have completely lost my personality. My mind is clouded i can not think in a straight line. Everything i do constantly feels strange, i feel like even people i have known for ages i feel like i do not know them probably because i am not myself. I have been to a couple doctors they think it is depression, however i feel like they are just saying that becasue i have been alot in the past. However, i am convinced it is a brain tumour or something fatal, i do not feel sad or down or anything. i just feel so lost and strange and i would do anthing to be myself again. I feel like i have become really stupid and my memory is bad and i am constantly listening and overanalysing myself when i talk to people. I zone out constantly and find it hard to actually listen to people when they talk to me, like really listen. Somebody please help has anyone been through anything like this???

Lol Im sorry but doctors are NOT always right. It probably isnt fatal depending on how long this has been going on you can see that you haven't passed yet. I have had similar problems so I completely understand the fear and frustration.

You've been to doctors who tell you it is depression. But you decide it is a brain tumour.

Of course doctors just invent diagnoses for you just to annoy you. That's their job isn't it?

Really, are you for real mate? If a doc diagnoses something it's because that's what it is. If you want to reject their professional opinions and believe in a brain tumour then go for it. But don't expect any sympathy or support as you are self deluding for God knows what purpose.

Go back to the docs and listen. They DO NOT invent their advice.

Hello.
I can relate to what you are feeling. I have been to so many doctors for what I can only describe as dizziness. However, I too have a real "disconnected" feeling. I don't feel like me. I know it feels weird. Personally, I am trying to work through it myself through positive thoughts. Works sometimes. I also may try acupuncture. Not ready to ask for medication yet. You are not alone.
