What do u mean?

Its kind of hard to explain... its sort of like being spacey. my mind feels like its everywhere and disorganized... i cant concentrate on anything and nothing feels like its making sense to me.... its making me more anxious than i already am.... I hope that made sense.

I "dissociate" sometimes too, I feel like I am walking through pea soup and I lose about a hundred IQ points. It's very diconcerting and I have snapped out of it to find people staring at me and they tell me I was like a zombie.
Thank God it doesn't happen often anymore as I become aware of things that set me off. It passes and once you give it some awareness, making a mental note of what was going on when you step out, it happens less and less often. That's how it is for me anyways, I hope this helps.

Yeah I do sometimes feel like that when my anxiety acts up & I just sit there & tell my head 2 shut up but it doesn't listen.

Sometimes my mind just races so fast that I can't put any organized thoughts together and that raises my anxiety a lot. Or it happens when my anxiety is high for some other reason like coming out of a dissociative episode. Learning your triggers can help stop it before it starts, or using mindfulness can help you bring yourself out of it. I haven't mastered either yet, but the few times it has worked I was able to stop my racing thoughts a avoid a full blown anxiety attack.

It happens to me all the time. The problem seems to be that I have intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, dissociation, etc., so my mind can't concentrate on what is happening now in the present moment. Way too much input!! Not being able to concentrate, to focus, has been one of the most difficult things for me.

That is my biggest complaint! Confusing as can be. Sometimes I don't feel like I know up from down.

I often feel confused about how my PTSD plays into my prescription drug addiction. Is anyone else on here in drug addiction recovery? Just curious.

I have this happen quit often. I have learned not to let it shake me or scare me because that will make it worse. The best thing I can do if possible is lay down and rest.
