Has anyone felt like the world around you is flying past you and you are standing still. I have been at work and i have felt like I was in a movie where everything is rushing by people talking but I don't hear what they are saying I just see there lips moving and I totally can't move I felt like I was frozen in time and couldn't move. Preatty wild huh, I don't know if it is my medication though I am only on one effxior well I am on trazadone for sleep. But it is such a bazzare feeling, I can't move, I see people's lips moving but I can't hear a word they are saying its almost like they are in slow motion. I swear its like some scene in a movie but it really happens to me every once in awhile.
The wierd thing is that as a person I do feel like an alien someone who doesn't belong it feels like people look at me and know or think that some how I am damaged and yet they don't know nothing about my past. Its like I have a wierd differnt emotions going on at the same time and I feel so forien to everything around me. Is this wierd or has anyone experienced somthing remotely like this?

" I don't think I've experienced this to the same degree as you, but when I'm in a large crowd that is noisy, such as when I went to the opening of a minor league baseball game..I became sorta enclosed in myself and started blocking people out to cope with the anxiety of it all. I can't deal with that many people. I get all claustophobic or something. I guess when it comes down to it, I'm the opposite...I try to block ppl out. Nevertheless, I didn't realize it was opening day and I hauled ass to get out of there and get to my car. Fortunately, my husb. followed not to long after and was ready to leave as well. He knows I don't do crowds..lol Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Hang in there. "

" I feel like that when I'm in the start of a panic attack like my ears will pop and all sound will go quiet so I can bearly hear it and then everyone will like speed up and I'll slow down like a cartoon on a reel. It freaks me out and I get all hot and sweaty, but it only happens when I'm in a panic attack - which lucky for me hasn't happened in a while. "

" ya mine is kinda like freeflows, when I am about to have a panic attack or fainting spell...usually if I get around too many people or have had too much stress and then had to go around people...not that severe usually, but sometimes....its almost like being underwater to me...and as far as thinking everyone is looking at you, or INTO you, and seeing you as broken, ya I get that ALOT "

" know that feeling, i shut off completely. even when Im in a one on one discussion the person's head seem to grow and everything else go fuzzy. Just weird ! I think (think) it's our subconcious trying to disengage from reality coz reality is scary or "too much" I'm not hundred % on this but I have a feeling,even when I'm under hypnosis my head start spinning when I protest to feelings being unearthed. it's very strange.
