(note: All started after a bad trip on weed)
Constantly feel disconnected from reality and it feels like my mind and body have become separated. I can deal with it usually but sometimes i start to freak out about it.

Been getting one sided headaches (right side) for a while now. When this happens I find my right nostril is blocked and my ear feels blocked as well. Not too sure what the connection would be.
It also feels like i'm breathing through my right ear whenever I put a headset on, it's not painful but quite uncomfortable.

I could also list a million other things such as sore legs, dry eyes, painful chest, shortness of breath etc.


Been to the Doctor a couple times who also thought it was anxiety, and I have been to a hypnotherapist which has helped a lot in preventing full blown panic attacks. However I just feel physically and mentally worn out all the time even when I don't feel incredibly anxious. I have also started eating less and more healthier and have been exercising more frequently.

Anyone experienced similar stuff or have any advice?

The main question should be ' does anybody else smoke weed '. It is very hard to answer for a person who has never smoked weed. As it may have been a bad trip. Sounds a lot like derealization. The mind and the body not been one. Is a good video on you tube about how to clear blocked nose and blocked ears. See can you find it. It might help you out. If it is anxiety that has you drained, weed is the worst thing you can go near. It won't make you better. If anything you will become more aware of everything around you and everything happening to your body. That is all it does to you.

I know exactly how you feel! I get the same feeling and it comes and goes. It seems like the feeling disconnected with reality comes up when my anxiety is not as high, which then I start freaking out thinking about it and bam my anxiety comes back. I recently switched medications from Lexapro to Effexor XR and that is what I am associating this feeling to now, it just started about a week ago. I have been dealing with anxiety for the past 10 years and every time my symptoms really get high I feel like I am going crazy or dying. Is this the first time you have dealt disconnected with reality? I know when mine flairs up I think that it is a new feeling but the more I think on it the more I remember that it is not. The feeling comes and goes and while you have it you are so concerned about it but when it finally leaves you forget all about it until eventually it comes back again. I am always certain that one day I am just going to break down and can not function any more and that scares me the most. But the funny thing is I have been dealing with this for 10 years and have yet to break down but that is still the top fear on my list. If I’m not worried I am losing my mind then I am worried that I have heart problems or a brain tumor. I always have stopped up sinus’s that cause pressure and I constantly think that that is from a brain tumor. The biggest part to remember is that you are not alone, I spent so long thinking I was the only one feeling like this, that there was no way anxiety could make me feel the way I was feeling. Anxiety is a hell of sickness but you have to remember that it is all in your head. I know that is hard to tell yourself because you are always certain you are going crazy or you are one step away from dying but you aren’t. The best thing to do is talk about it! That is why I joined this site. I do not like talking to my family and friends about it because I don’t want them to think differently of me, which I’m sure they won’t but it isn’t their burden to bare. You are not alone and there is always someone out there that you can open up to and just talk to. I hope this helped!
