Feel like I don't know myself and who I am changes

I feel like who I was last night and this morning isn't someone who I recognize. The memories don't feel like mine, or at least they feel like a dream, only they did happen. I've had dreams feel like real memories before, but never something that feels for all intents and purposes like a dream, only for the fact that I know it happened, the people involved know it happened and the effects of it have resonated throughout my day. I feel different now, but still not myself, and I find it hard to recall myself through the fog in my brain. This comes from(before last night) knowing who I was with almost certainty, and having confidence in myself as a human being.

Hello Parmigiana

You certainly sound like you experiencing something not quite right hey. I'm pleased you've found your way to the Beyond Blue forums. We can't provide a diagnosis as we're not health professionals. Though we do have experience with mental illness.

I've had a similar experience to you a few years ago. It's a really strange feeling - that fog brain you talk about. It's difficult to shift and come back to yourself. I went to the doctors when this happened. Have you been to a doctor recently about how you're currently feeling? That would be my first suggestion.

If you feel like talking - what changes have you had in your life recently? Is there anyone you can talk to, like a family member or a close friend you trust?

We'd like to hear back from you to know how you going.

Kind regards

PamelaR
