The lady asked you if you hear voices to see if you are schziophrenic. It doesn't sound like you are. Don't worry about telling how you feel. You were reaching out for help. That's a sign of strength not weakness. Hearing voices before you go to sleep isn't weird. I have that too. It sounds like you are having extreme anxiety and possibly panic attacks. That can make things feel foreign to you. Your mind is racing on things and doesn't feel in the present. Did your doc give you anything to take as needed for anxiety, ie. xanax, klonopin, or ativan? Deep breathing can help too. Inhale for 4 counts, hold the breath for 7 and exhale for 8. Focus on your breath and try to not focus on the fears. When your mind wanders, bring it back to your breathing. I listen to relaxation tapes when I get really anxious and use deep breathing when that's not available.
Has the remeron helped over the past 5/6 months and stopped working? Remeron is supposed to help anxiety. I was wondering if has helped you at all.
