I honestly have felt like I have been coping pretty well mentally considering all the situations in my life.
Life just suddenly smacked me upside the head and got very serious and difficult.
Anyway, I have been really being careful how I eat (sugar and caffeine, etc..), walking again, praying more, etc..
The past few days I'm dealing with anxiety big time and also having those strange feelings of feeling like I'm not real. It's hard to describe but it's a weird floaty feeling (braing fog!), it's not fun. I almost feel like I'm in a tunnel or watching life outside my body.
It's as if reality has slipped away and I have to repeatedly tell myself that I am not going crazy.
I really don't want to even attempt to try medication again- it only made me depressed and feel even worse.
Does anyone know if stress can trigger these feeling of unreality?
Could Lupus affect me mentally? I don't know what to think.. is is just stress, do I have a chemical imbalance, is it lupus?
Honestly, I think just hearing somebody else understands these weird feeling would make me feel better.
Misery loves company. ROFL
