I have at times the most painful experience and it does not last long. It is as if I am racing BUT things get louder or brighter and It feels like my body is going a mile away even if I am not, It is painful and scary. And draining. Sometimes I feel like there is something wrong with me and that I am drowning. It is the weridest feels and than out of nowhere I have one normal day.

 

At times I feel like I cannot think or I have no brain in my head and everything seems off or odd and then I have one normal day and I am myself and than I am gone again. It is hard to explain because it is the most uncomfortable things I feeling.

I have the inability to think and my memory is terrible at times... My pdoc thinks it's anxiety

This sounds sort of similar in some ways.... Have you talked to your pdoc about it sweetie?

So sorry you are experiencing this. I have not had or heard of anything like that, but it sounds really scary. I can see why you'd be freaked out by it. Wondering whether something like that would have a physical cause or an emotional one, but definitely thinking you might benefit from running it by your medical doctor or mental health provider, or both. Hoping you get some relief soon.

Sending hugs and support.

Hi Berly
I will. I email my therapist and I will see her tomorrow. My Neurologist I do not see until later this year. It leaves me with loud ringing in my ears

Yup, I get something I could describe in these very words. "Uncomfortable" is an understatement inside my own skin. Some of these episodes are debilitating.

I have heard more theories than I can make sense of on what ^it^ might be. The theory I favor is that ^it^ is an anxiety hormone rush. However natural, hormones are potent drugs. I have wondered if my anxiety spent enough years on hyper-vigilant alert that I blew a gasket in my hormonal system..

Gentle empathy, Rose. By whatever name or theory, ^it^ sucks, both literally and figuratively.

Yup here, too, rose. It really messed with me when it happened while I was up in front of 25 to 35 students teaching a community college class. As you know, we folks with PTSD are pretty good at masking our symptoms so those without PTSD can't tell when we're in a flashback. But, boy, did it ever tax those acting skills of mine to lose my concentration and then stall in front of the class until I got it back.

Rose, yes, having disassociation, one of many symptoms of PTSD as well as flashbacks. They are are really uncomfortable. As Muji mentions, I too tr,y to mask them, but sometimes they get the best of me and I can’t seem to snap out of it. It can be a few minutes to the entire day. Gentle hugs Rose.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
