Hello.
I'm currently 8 weeks on bed rest in the hospital due to an eating disorder, spurred from panic attacks.
During the past two weeks I've been feeling rather strange. Some symptoms I have are..
Completely irrational thoughts (What if everybody is some kind of extraterrestrial life, which I know isn't true.) This came from a panic attack about questioning my location (What if I'm not really here, but I think I am?) and I reassured my sanity by saying that if I was crazy, I'd be thinking about Aliens or something - ironically I am now obsessing over this due to the fact I cannot necessarily disprove this even though I know it's merely a thought.
Severe fear of going insane or developing some kind of schizo-disorder. (Even though my family has no history of such). This is due to aforementioned irrational thought. I've done pot once 8 or so months ago, which provokes this fear even more, although nothing but a panic attack occurred during the 'high'.
Depression. Many things I found intriguing I no longer enjoy.
Familiar people, places and sounds seem less familiar. I'd assume this is because I'm not used to seeing them in the hospital environment, but I'm not sure.
Sense of humor has deteriorated, things that used to seem humorous seem more serious.
Restless legs, I'd assume this is just because of my inactivity.
Difficulty sleeping.
Impaired memory. I can't recall much about the recent past.
Feelings of depersonalization and derealization, although these symptoms seem congruent with my panic disorder.
Constantly assuring myself that I haven't lost it - (e.g. assuring myself that the Television, is indeed, the television, etc.)
Mild distrust.
I am a 14 year old male and have been formerly diagnosed with Panic Disorder. I can't help but contemplate that either something more serious is developing or it's just over thinking due to extreme boredom and moderate isolation.
I'm also not on any medication, however I did formerly take Risperdal about 7 weeks ago for a week, not because of such, but it also had a double effect as relief from severe anxiety.
Also, Risperdal did nothing but cause sedation.
