confusion, panic, dizziness, eyes seem weird

[pgonk]

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

I have been having many of the same symptoms that everyone else is describing, and I am about to get married in a few months - makes me think that the life-stressor thing has some value.

I wake up feeling disoriented and like I've lost my memory all the time I have weird eyesight. My feelings are gone I feel panicky out of reality. My hearing feels weird like I can't focus or understand people half the time I'm to the point of suicide

I'm a 15 years old girl, and i have most of the symptoms listed.
I recently got a check up because i couldn't take it anymore, and they said i had depression, anxiety attacks, etc . . but i'm not 100% sure that would be it. It's really hard because nothing interests me anymore, i just want to stay home and sleep because of my eyesight & how much it bothers me & how i get really dizzy.I'm really scared of what my future might be like. . .

To those who have brain fog and have severe memory loss. PLEASE READ

I would definitely get your thyroid checked. I was a tad high in my thyroid levels 5.4. all doctors felt this was normal, but I was able to convince one to put me on medication to see if it would help. He prescribed me .25 mg Synthroid, what he called basically a placebo. Placebo or not, this did wonders for me. My thyroid dropped to 1, my brain fog went away, and no longer feel extreme fatigue. I still get tired, but it is a much better and different feeling then the exhaustion I had felt.  

I believe what had happened to me was that I got so anxious and stressed out that my adrenal gland stopped working properly putting me into a fight or flight mode. When your body goes into fight or flight mode, all energy is used causing fatigue. The adrenal gland is connected to your thyroid and when my adrenals stopped working, I believe it threw off my thyroid.

I am currently on Cymbalta and Synthroid and feel much better then I have in a long time. Cymbalta helps with stress and anxiety as it is an SNRI.
However, my eyes are still not focused and have that cross eyed feeling.

I would recommend trying and SNRI and getting thyroid checked. Ive lost years of my life already to these symptoms. All I can say is dont accept it, be proactive and keep the information flowing.
