[...] Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi all! I have this horrible feeling of being trapped in my own body and tortured...I feel like I have no control over my mind or body, I feel impulsive like breaking things...and like I want to get out of my skin...please help. Anyone feel the same way? Is this DP or akathisia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mc...] Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 mmir, I do feel like I am a prisoner to my mind and body. I keep trying different things to help, but it just doesn't seem to help. I feel like I am getting further from healing and not closer. I describe as a war is being waged in my body, and I'm hoping for the good guys to win, but alot of times not convinced this is going to happen. I dont feel like breaking things, but I feel sometimes, my decisions are impulsive, because I just want to be fixed. I am getting weary from the battle.

[ro...] Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I feel all of you. I desperately want to do the things I used to do, but I just can't. The agoraphobia is just too much sometimes. I've also tried a bunch of techniques to try to ease the anxiety, but nothing has really seemed to help. It all just feels so chemical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to have a friend stay with me yesterday because my anxiety over being alone was so bad... 55 yo needing a babysitter. I can not get in my car and drive to the store. Let alone work. I'm on month 4 of this ..... I really want my life back. NOW. I have no patience today. It is a beautiful, sunny day out. I am in jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ho...] Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I definitely feel trapped and disconnected from my body and the world. I am 6 months pregnant and don't even realized my body has changed because I am so dazed. I look in the mirror and I don't recognize my own face. I touch my skin and can't feel it. This is all so strange!! Hope 56- I feel EXACTLY the same way! I just wrote in my journal and wrote many of the same feelings you just expressed. Hang in there all!
