Right now I keep getting huge out of body experiances, and i dont know what they are,ive just been making dinner but I cut my finger cos I couldnt concentrate and forgot where i was for a moment! Im at home for god sake and i dont know whats happening to me. my gran thinks that it may be a migrain, but im not sure , i used to get similar feelings when i was younger but this time i was/ am so scared, i dont know whats wrong with me, I keep thinking that my sis just came to give me a hug, so about a minute ago i went to her room to thank her, and she told me she hadnt given me a hug? Whats going on!

i looked on google to see symptoms of a migrain to try and put my mind at rest but I dont think it is a migraine... any ideas because I am really worred and scared atm...

this is a few things going on in my head right now:

Really confused and paranoid
forgetful
flustered
heart palpatations
chest pain
tummy ache
head ache
and i feel really insecure, like i'm not really here, and like im sinking.
before feeling like this i had a weird dejavu type feeling like i was stuck in a different place repeating myself over and over...

Im sorry, im just really worried, please help...

Personally this sounds a lot more psychological than medical to me. Most of those symptoms (including the physical ones) can be caused by stress and anxiety, the "out of body" experiences sound like dissociation to me. I would contact your GP/therapist/mental health professional to discuss these feelings with them.

i cant, an im scared... i would like to but the surgery is closed and i no longer see my therapist as my parents didnt like it.

its such a horrible feeling, i just worry so much and atm I keep thinking i am going to die, and i dont want to die, im just scared cos when i was little i had a vision thing that i would die on my 18th year, and now i am nearly 19 (in two months) and am worried....

Hi I agree with Heidi Tiger - that extreme stress is the most likely cause of all these symptoms. (I'm assuming you have eaten today and that you haven't taken any drugs or new medications... say if that's not the case.)

A first aid advisor will know, but I think it's very unlikely anything is badly physically wrong, so try not to make things worse by worrying.
Maybe do something undemanding like lying down and listening to music/watching telly - even if you can't concentrate. Then make a doctors appt tomorrow.

Let us know how it goes.

hmm this does sound more psychological than physical.
However, there are a few things you can rule do to rule out physical symptoms. Sometimes low blood sugar can make you feel this way so have a suagry drink and if you have any bannanas in eat one of those too.

Then tackle the psych type issues. Try sitting in a darkened room with some quiet music on an stay there for a while a do some deep breathing an see if that helps.

thanks, urm i have an appt with the doc tomorrow, but im still really worried, i feel like a child, so insecure.

I still wouldn't put the medical things aside. Things like chest pain should be checked out. You don't want to mess with your heart. You only have one!

Thank you for the replies, I am still a little disorientated today, and last night was awful as i had to sleep in the same room as my mum because she thought i was going to do something bad, and i was extreemly scared and insecure. I went to see the nurse this morning for an asthma test which was stable, an i told her about yesturday, and she could tell i was not really engaging with her, she told me I should make a real appt with the doctor or a therapist, and also took some blood tests to see whether my thyroid and iron and something else to do with the brain is functioning ok.

Im just really scared and worried, i just cant understand it, and i dont think im me anymore??

Aww hun! I'm sorry you are struggling so much, but it really does sound like what i had, and they said I suffer from anxiety and most of those feelings were from that and stress. Can you tell when you get worse?

Hey falling-tears, any better today? Also did you make that doctors appointment yet?
