early stages of Skitzophrenia?

Alright so, I'm currently sitting in my room and I feel very "foggy headed" as I've seen others call it. I do feel odd emotionally and I've been feeling "foggy headed" for about 2 weeks now. It started with an episode in class that lasted about 5 seconds. I was sitting in my chair and all of a sudden i felt as if my brain restarted or as if I had passed out and suddenly woken up. The following saturday (two days later) I started feeling very foggy headed, almost as if I had a buzz from a drink or two, but without the euphoria, just the visual and audible perceptions were distorted. It felt really, as if i was going to pass out which I almost did for about an hour or two and then that stopped but I still felt very odd psychologically. its been two weeks and the foggy headed feeling is a constant thing, and its only getting worse as time goes by. I don't believe I'm having any issues solving problems as I was doing some algebra and geometry off the top of my head yesterday with a little effort but nothing out of the ordinary. I haven't had anymore of the very lightheaded episodes but I still just feel generally lightheaded or foggy headed all of the time. I've had a constant headache also but I haven't been able to see a doctor, I have no car, no transportation and my mother doesn't believe anything is wrong with you unless your writhing in pain or bleeding out of every orifice on your body. I do plan to see a doctor but I really need a good reason to, I haven't been having any hallucinations or delirium like episodes, I just feel kinda depressed and out of it.
I have no money and I won't for a very long time so thats why I"m kind of hesitant about seeing a doc.

Anyway if you have any opinions or suggestions or anything you'd like to contribute I'd appreciate it thanks.

im not an expert, but it sounds a bit like epilepsy or a panic or anxiety attack i would definately go see a doctor though better safe than sorry.

I already know what anxiety feels like as I have had problems with it since I was about 15 but I don't get panicked or I try hard not to when this happens, and its like a constant thing, but I had an EEG and they said there were no signs of epilepsy and that was about a year ago =/

I just feel out of touch with reality but i can function normally, its extremely weird.

have you googled depersonalisation and dissociation ?

Yeah but with those its almost as if you are aware of yourself but in a 3rd person state of mind, like you feel as if you are another watching yourself, I have some of the symptoms, but what I'm feeling is more like I have a very decreased consciousness or alertness but I can still function and do things if I need to. I was extremely depressed last night and then it just went away and now I feel kind of lethargic liek I don't want to do anything and I feel tired.

feeling depressed and it going away quickly could be a number of things, i really would advise you speak to your doctor to rule things out and put your mind at rest.

Hi cloudnyn3.

A constant headache sounds like a good reason to go to see a doctor. If you have a school counselor or a nurse I would suggest starting with them. Otherwise your family doctor would be a good place to start. All clinics and hospitals offer payment plans if you have financial limitations. And in most areas there are clinics that are held on certain days for people who cannot pay. Your local courthouse should have the info on the date and place.
