A constant feeling of "haziness"

I know this tread is old but OMG I cant beleive you guys havent got help from a therapist I get all these symptoms and I have realised that they are all caused from anxiety the is no know case in the history of the world that a person with out drugs can just all of a sudden go crazy it is unheard of please beleive me!!!! a man is only vonurable to crazyness symptoms around the age of 18-22 and it is 28-32 for a woman thesestats are true and if you eliminate the anxiety the derealization will go to it's the truth if you are shaking your head right now then you are allowing the anxiety to rule your life!!!! It thrives on fear the more scared you are the stronger it gets the more you dont beleive in a cure the more stronger it gets its sole purpose is to make you scared!!!! It is the biggestbluff in history but you can fool it...... write down the things that you have experienced the symptoms you have had then write down worst things that can happen when these things get strong.....eg: I feel dizzy....then write have I ever fallen down???....then you will write NO and then you may see that its all a bluff anxiety,derealization,deppression,panic attacks,dizzyness without reason?????? do you beleive in bigfoot or fairy's?????? No so why do you belaive in these things. the human mind is stronger than you think there is a cure but it lies within you I havent beaten my symptoms yet but i am getting stronger everyday I always manage to go to sleep and wake up and go to work I have had this for 9months and since the day it started the symptoms have been constant everyday......but I am alive today???????? I am always able to recover??????? and it never beats me If I was diying it would have happend by now 9 onths is a long time to be dying for isnt it???????? if I was having a stroke I would have been rushed to hospital by now????? but I havent it has been bluffing you guys like it has me but i will get over it........will you I read all these threads and they all say the same things "im scared" "fear" and whats happening to me well i can tell you whats happening to you you are "scared" you have "fear" and that is anxiety yeas all of it the feeling in your neck the derealization the foggyness the little speckles in your sight and the death feelings and the colours you can see in your sight and the sleeplessness and the anger you feel and the detachment you feel from your family and the headaches and the pain behind your eyes and the lot it is all caused by a underlying anxiety problem you may have forgotten what it is or not even think thet you are stressed but it can be something in your subconsience that you have suppressed but your deep inner feeling have bought it to the surface, you have to dig deep into your past and find it beleive me its there I have been able to dig deep and it causes me to cry for no reason I sat down started to write my life story today and when i got half way through it I got so anxious for no reason it caused me to go and find myself so i could continue to work, I now its hidden somewhere there and i will find it I hope that you guys will listen to me and see some one if you have and it hasnt worked maybe they were sh*t and you should see some one else keep fighting it sounds to me like you all have given up ask yourself why??????? and maybe you will find the answer is you and your determination to succeed!!!!! cheers hope i reached at least one person.

I have these same symptoms. i've had them for about seven months now it started out one day when i stopped caring about a few little things..i was stressed out and decided it was 'easier' at the time just not to care. i started blaming my parents, my boyfriend, other people around me for things only i had control over. it's okay..there is help i started seeing a therapist, taking antidepressants and you know what? i realized it's all within yourself. look inside happiness is there and you can fight through it..you have to because this is your life!! don't let anxiety or fear or other people control your life, you have to live for yourself and fight this. no one can do it for you..and once you give up that fear and start deciding what is right for yourself (yes..you alone!) then all of the fear will start to melt away..it's amazing and i't's just made me thankful for all of the people i have in my life who i've sort of felt distant from over the past few months. it'll be okay, the people you love are always there, and they still love you no matter what. with their help added to your own personal effort, you can fight this. i wish you the best of luck and hope you're successful=] and try not to worry about spacing out. focus on what you're doing and it all becomes a lot easier to deal with even simple things that have become hard. it will be okay. there is nothing wrong with you!!

i have had these symptoms for probably about 7 months now..my friends described it to me as "spaciness" and it happens to me a LOT. it's probably due to anxiety..i started seeing a therapist and take antidepressants. but i like the way someone above me put it.."a normal person cannot become crazy or depressed for no reasonthe only thing you can do is fight it..you can get help from others but most of it is that you have to fix it for yourself..its one of those things. try not to worry about it too much..i think about where i am and focus on what i'm doing. take responsibility for your life and your decisions instead of letting the anxiety take control of them! you have to be able to live for yourself not by what anyone else thinks or decides for you.

the best thing i've found to do is not to think about it..think about other things, be happy..focus on what you're doing and the people you're with and suddenly you'll find that it goes away. remember that there's nothing wrong with you and that happiness is a state of mind. i've decided i want to live my life and i've been so happy after realizing that. i've accepted that i might not go back to being the same person i was before, but that's ok with me=]

if you're ever stuck, focus on details. look at something and say what you like about it=] (or maybe what you don't like?) or just state your opinion..u like this or that? go out for coffee with a friend and just chat. do something you like just for the fun of it, and enjoy!! good luck to u guys<3

Hi too have had these same feelings, however they have been ongoing for nearly 5 years now and I am desperate to find a diagnosis & some relief from this feeling of nothingness-I'm even praying that my depressivness as I used to know it would return.

I am in my 5th year of these symptoms. I completely agree with Nik16.

ANXIETY. Period.

Prayer. Exercise. Sleep. Diet (no sugar, caffeine, etc)

In that order.

Hope this helps

ive had these same symptoms for 4 and a half years. sometimes its so bad i feel like im gonna pass out or cry. this is the most ive found on these symptoms. im glad ive found it. it helps to see what others do to make it better. when i started reading the posts i could barely concentrate to read i calmed down did some breathing and felt better and could read it well. i could read it once and know what i read, other times i would have to read something 4 and 5 times and still not realize what i read. if i meditate or ride my motorcycle i feel better. my symptoms came from heavy drinking bad insomnia depression anger problems and anxiety. after reading this it gives me hope to feel normal again. this makes me very hopeful and maybe all i need to beat this.

I've had this feeling on and off for 10 years now.  Like many others, you go through lots of testing (all come back good) and tend to drink alcohol to solve temporary.  For me I found this to be contributed to extreme levels of stress.  I still have extreme levels of stress due to my job but I have found ways to cope with it.  Like a previous post, for me what works is eating habits (you are what you eat), lots of water and a lot of exercise.  When i do all of that, my cloudy feeling goes away.  When I stop eating well and don't exercise as much the symptoms come back.  The key is everybody is different so you need to find out what works for you but I’m a big believer in proper diet; sleep patterns and exercise.

hi i suggest u to examine ur liver by liver function test and take an Ultra sound for ur abdomen

I've had a similar feeling. I think a lot of it has been in my head. I get extreme paranoia when talking to people. I get the notion that they are trying to figure something out about me or judge me. I get really dizzy and essentially have to run away from a lot of situations. A lot of it has to do with lack of confidence; which is almost unexplainable for me since I just graduate in engineering with a 4.0 GPA at the top of my class and got the best job and just got accepted to the best graduate school for my major in the world. Its a strange thing indeed.

I would explain it as a form of depression since my cousin who I had gotten close to recently died of drug abuse and I've been in a crummy relationship for the past two years which I just had to end. I've been getting frequent anxiety attacks where I feel like I have to do something really important, but I can't figure out what it is that I have to do. Sometimes I try and run it off, but if that doesn't work I just end up collasping in the floor at some point in a fit of tears and rage.

The only way I can see to get through it is by prayer, nutrition, exercise, and healthy thoughts. I've spent the last year or so writing really sad songs on the guitar which has just snowballed the feelings of depression. Just remember have hope. Everyone can enjoy life. You have been given a life to live. Live it well. You reap what you sow. Be good to people. Speak well of others and they will speak well of you.

A lot of things in the bible can be questioned however the overall message is extraordinary. Good and evil exists. We all do evil things but the message of the bible is that we can all be forgiven for our sins. Forgiveness. Don't love the world...don't love the people in it. Spend your love on the lord and he will never let you down.

For Dizzyness i take - 1/2 pill in the morning of Stemetil MD (2.5 mg) (It controlled my dizzyness)

For Palpitation & increase in rate - 1 pill in night & 1 pill in the morning of propranolol (10 mg) (no more palpitation)

It controlled my palpitation and dizzyness.

Also,

Change habits like give up coffee, cold drinks & alcohol.

Eat banana and other fruits.

Do 20 mins to 30 mins regular exercise. 

Do long breathing (count 4 inhale, hold the breath for count 2, excel in count 4)

Try to do deep breathing as much as possible.

Try to think about good things in life like your parents, wife, child etc.. it gives me some relief.

Take antidepressant as it will give u relief (its better to take med then suffer), I take Escitalopram (10mg) & Clonazepam (0.25mg) at night, I feel little better.

I am still trying my best to overcome this anxiety, though i get pressure on left side of my head and still my confidence is very low. But I will prefer to work n do exercise then to giveup with worries, stress and tension. 

Hope this helps!...

God bless us all with speedy recovery and healthy life.

Best regards,

Your Friend

PS: check on B12 with your doctor, I will check with mine this weekend. I heard it helps.

 

 

Everyone on this site has gone completely the wrong way. Mine initially was caused because of a frightning experience. Now it is very minute. Trick. Definitely do CBT if you can. But ultimately the solution is actually encourage the anxiety and keep on doing it. Best of all, in your mind play a super uplifting melody - for me its uplifting hard trance, next, put a smile on your face and say "bring it on u son of s biiitch". Keep doing it and eventually after a few months it will go big time

I'm 18 and I've been feeling this exact stuff where everything feels dream like and I'm numb in my body so I found a website that said the muscles in your neck are flexing whether you can tell or not and it's blocking your blood flow to the brain so what I did to fix it was I got a massage, I started sleeping in different positions and I stopped playing sports that involved strenuous work on my neck and it worked. I can't promise any results but it worked for me so I hope it works for you

Hello everyone i have had the same issues everyone is describing here for over 4 years. i have a constant lightheaded feeling made worse by heat (even getting in a hot shower), from time to time i will get a flutter in my chest that i thought was indigestion, i feel exhausted all the time (hard to stand for more than 10-15 minutes without almost passing out),  pain from time to time on the right side just above my hip, hard to concentrate on any one thing. not sure if all the symptoms i have listed all of you are feeling. but if you are, check out dysautonomia.  I have not been treated for this as i just stumbled upon it today. but i have a doctors appointment scheduled for monday. i just wanted to throw this out there for those of you who still have not found an answer to your prayers. i know how tough this can be. but with the right tools and motivation you can overcome any obstacle thrown your way. dont give up, hang in there. I am not a doctor in any sense. but want people to be informed. the reason i have posted this specific item is because when you google symptoms online it will give you basic disorders, with 25 symptoms that you may have 3 of and you think you found the answer. Dysautonomia has very distinct symptoms, which i had every single one listed, and there werent any listed i didnt have. which made me feel as though i was on the right track. good luck to all of you in your ventures. and i will keep updating as to what i find out.

Much of what is being described is most likely a viral cause. After reading The Medical Medium, and as an RN, I followed his protocol and feel the best I have in years. Good Luck!
