Well here's my story, I'm 22. And on this one night I was playing video games online with friends it was a really competitive game! We were playing for each other records, it was a boxing game. I was really nervous that I would lose because I'm like the best at the game so I was stress during the game hoping I'd win (Which I shouldn't , because it's a video game) so all of a sudden my body felt weird! And my heart was racing fast I got dizzy! I thought I was about to die or something! That was like a month ago. And every since that day my body haven't been the same! Like everyday I don't feel like I'm in my body I don't feel real and get so emotional about it at times and it makes me sad like I don't want to be here no more. When I try to explain it to friends they think I'm just plain crazy and they say "it's all In your head" but I know how my body feels I had this feeling for a month now I went to the doctor 2 weeks ago and they told me my blood work looks good" but I just don't feel normal I don't do the things I used to do anymore I hate this feeling I just want to be normal again it's like I'm not in control of my own body every day I feels so emotional about it because I want to be normal again I think about it all the time and stress over And over again! (Never go to Google for your symptoms) they will have you thinking you're going to die in a week! And that's what I did and that was a big part of my stress too. Have anyone felt this feeling before? (I don't do any alcohol or drugs)

    Google anxiety/ panic attack and also depersonalization and derealization. See if any of those fit.

        The fact that you're feeling emotionally unstable indicated this is a psychological problem. Panic attacks are known to cause physical symptoms similar to this as well.

    I'm sorry and hope you feel better. I've heard recently of depersonalization and I find it fascinating and wish I could understand yet hope you feel better

    Sounds like anxiety induced depersonalization , I had the same, after an admittedly horrible few weeks it passed.

    Google depersonalization and see if it matches your experiences, if it is, the best way to cure it is to ignore it, sounds hard and it is but just try not to dwell on i, just accept that yes, you have it, but it's temporary

      Also is it physical for you? For some it isn't but I found it harder to bite nails and perform intricate tasks, my memory went to shit to

          I know exactly what you mean, I'd been smoking weed the night before I got depersonalization and I wad wondering why I felt high. With depersonalization I felt a mix of stoned and the weird head rush when I stand up too quick and everything feels like a dream.

          It sounds exactly like my experience, I meant 100% it might be worth googling it, I found some helpful articles.

          I hope you get better soon its a horrible feeling, I was wondering if I would ever feel sane again, but you will :)

            The more you focus on it the worse it gets, I spent ages freaking out, I myself am a gamer and gta 5 just came out I was so pissed, after it started I didn't enjoy games and it felt like the worst timing,
            Even though I was sober I had to remind myself to act it, I felt like pretending to not be stoned like my teenage years,

            Leaving the house was horrible,
            And I'd freak out over the smallest things, I went to stroke my cat on the first day I had it and he moved away from me, no big deal, in my mind though

            " he knows I'm not myself, I'll never be myself again."

            Then was convinced I'd lost my mind and would never get it back.

            You haven't lost your mind, depersonalization is a byproduct of an overworked anxious brain, a surprisingly high number of people experience it, try not to dwell on it, push it to the back of your mind and force yourself to life life how you were before, most important is to realise, it's anxiety, and it WILL pass.

            Keep living life and before you know it you'll be back
