headache

I spent most of my day today in some sort of trance...watching from the inside, feeling helpless to actually be able to anything about it. I can't really tell you where I was or what I was doing but I felt stuck really far inside of myself. I managed to finally roust myself up to take care of my responsibilities but all the while I was not "there". I could not think, react and a few times became a little paranoid in the most extreme parts of this trance I was in. Its really hard to explain but it lasted probably about 6 hours and at then end of it when I began to feel life being breathed back into my body I had a really bad headache...I don't know if this means anything or not but these episodes happen quite frequently and they really scare me. I don't trust myself in this state and don't know really what I'm doing. Am I saying things I don't remember? Doind strange things or acting weird? The duration varies but they always end with this headache. Any ideas? I see my T tommorow and don't know if it's relevant to bring up, what if I'm just tired? Thanks in advance

It most definitely IS relevant, and may I add.

This happens to me sometimes quite a few times in one day, and its like ...getting random things done while "you're sleeping". You know?
You described it really really well by the way, I have trouble putting into words what this feels like, and your description puts it all together perfectly.


I hope you and T work this out, if not....we are here to listen my friend

I agree this is most definitly something to bring up. I have similar episodes where I feel as if I am far away almost as if I am "taking the back seat" as I call it. Its very hard to trust your self when you don't feel fully in control. My experiences last minutes to days. Its usually accompanied by depression, anxiety, muscle aches, headaches, and a sort of "blank" feeling. For me its a sort of a partial dissociation and I have some trouble remembering what went on during this time. Usually it has to do with some kind of inner turmoil that I am not aware of. As far as the headaches I get, I went to see a neurologist who perscribed me something for migrane headaches. I have a high tolerance for pain, most of the time I don't realize I am in pain because I dissociate away from it, but the medication did help me.
