When I was about 23 my mind started giving me information in a differnt way. I felt like I was seeing my life out of the eyes of another person. To this day I am always worried about my health, and things like that. I'm Paranoid also. I've always been on medicine for depression and anxiety, but it didn't start REALLY bad until about 10 months ago. Might I ad that I am still 23. How do I go back to my old state of mind?

Whether or not this has anything to do with your meds, it sounds like you're experiencing a form of dissociation. Feeling like you're watching yourself, out of your body, floating around the room, or feeling very dizzy and forgetting things are all symptoms of this. There are many different kinds, the one that matches your symptoms the best probably being depersonalization. I'm not a psychologist or anything, but I plan to major in this field, and my personal interest in the subject has me looking all over the place for information.

Well, I am 20 and last year I was diagnosed with paranoid scitzophrenia. TRUST ME when I say you need to just relax and dont worry about it! the more you worry the worse it is. you will just drive yourself nuts!! Just relax and dont think about it! I know it is not easy, but you can do it! I beleive in you!! You are stronger than that, dont let it bring you down.. You have your whole life ahead of you, I know it may feel extremely hard sometimes, like you are losing your mind, or like you are losing control, but it passes and then it is not so bad!! I know it feels mentally exhausting, and sometimes you just want to give up, but dont.. Just try to be as posotive as you can, and tell yourself (when you feel like your losing control) That you are O.k, and that it will pass. You just need to do something to take your mind off of it until it passes!! Try writting down exactly what you are going through when it happens, by the time you are done, it will be passed!! Take it from someone who knows, you will be ok.
and if no know has told you today, that they really care about how you feel!! Let me be the first!! Keep fighting and stay strong.
may god bless you and keep you safe!!

Talk to your doctor about the medication that you are on..it could be a side effect of the medication. It sounds like you have more problems with anxiety - not depression, anti-depressants are not for everyone. You should get that checked out - I feel its the anti-depressants causing your symptoms.

I AM NOT A DOCTOR OR ANYTHING, AS THE MATTER OF FACT I ONLY 17 YEARS OLD, BUT I HAVE HEARD OF THIS DISEASE CALL ALICE IN WONDERLAND SYNDROME THAT SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO THIS. IT IS A TEMPORARY DISORDER THAT DISTORTS A PERSONS VISION. PEOPLE WHO SUFFER FROM THIS HAVE SAID IT IS LIKE YOU ARE WATCHING YOURSELF LIKE YOU WOULD ANOTHER PERSON. I DONT KNOW HOW IT IS TREATED BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE OUT GROW IT. IF THAT DOESNT HELP YOU SHOULD CALL THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR RARE DISORDERS ( 800-999-NORD) OR GO TO RAREDISEASES.ORG! HOPE THAT HELPS! GOOD LUCK!

there is nothing wrong with you, there are people who have GIFTS other people label it or called it sickness= depression or anxiety but I would suggest you take it easy and help yourself with the gift that you have. As for me I can see unclear things and it happend in my life what I dream or see unclearly - I don't give much attention to it though ... mind control that is important to those who have gifts

if this started when you got the medication it could be a side effect of the medication. some medications make situations worse instead of better sometimes the reactions show up slowly.

have you talked to your doctor? Maybe its some sort of reaction to your meds. I know you've been taking them for a long time, but maybe somehow it doesnt agree with you anymore. You should call your doc. ASAP

gave you the idea that we'd be offended? the ONLY TIME a guy would act weird to something like that is if he thought the chick was annoying or something. but even if she's only kinda hot, go for it

Ask your doctor to refer you to a psychiatrist.
