Suggest Treatment For Anxiety Along With Feeling Of Being In A Dream
Question: Hi there im really struggling with anxiety and the symptom of being in a dream not quite there. Can you help?
Brief Answer:
Severe anxiety can cause this feeling
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concerns.
I have read your previous query and conversations. So to me it seems that you have constant feeling of dreamy state and you feel that you are about to die. Disorientation, confusion, light headedness, dizziness, feeling of being in a dream, dejavu are common when anxiety is severe.
Anxiety is common psychiatric problem that can be easily managed with drugs like antidepressant drugs. If the anxiety is because of some stress in your life than it should be solved first.
I can give you advice that you need to consult a psychiatrist and tell all the symptoms and about your dreamy feelings. He would ask further questions and make treatment plan which will include drugs and talks.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have further query then I will be happy to help.
Wish you good health.

You are scared because of the anxiety and it's symptoms but you have been told by many doctors that nothing is going to happen to you.
It is just this fear which is making you miserable. Believe in your psychiatrist and follow his advice, you will be alright.
Drugs will show it's effects. Just relax and take a walk for an hour every morning.
I am a psychiatrist and I have seen so many cases with similar symptoms as you. They have taken antidepressant drugs and they are fine now. There is nothing to do with physical illness by any means. Your fear is itself a psychiatric symptom.
