Hi everyone, for the last few weeks I’ve been feeling very off:

I feel like I’m living in a dream, like almost drunk but not quite drunk. Like I’m disconnected and out of it. I feel like I’m living behind a glass, no quite “in my life”

I’ve been having pressure around the back of my neck, the back of my head, (not a headache just pressure) and I sometimes feel like my eyes are being pushed too.

I had blood work done, and everything seems fine, I had a negative Covid test twice, antibody test for Covid came out negative... checked for Lyme disease, heavy metals, and other common things but everything keeps coming back negative.

At this point I’m wondering if this is related to anxiety/stress. In the last year, like most of us I’m sure, I’ve been dealing with lots of emotional ups and downs, I suffered from my first panicked attack las summer but things improved a bit after that so didn’t have to take any medication or continue with a therapist.

My logical brain wants to tell me that symptoms like the described above are no way related to anxiety disorders or chronic stress but I’m desperate to understand what’s happening to me.

Could you please share if you have ever felt this way and your experiences or knowledge?

I’m waiting for another doctors appointment on Monday but for the meantime I’m trying to calm down because at this point I’m thinking it could be something seriously wrong with my brain (like a tumor or infection)

Thanks so much for you help!
