i started treatment 2/11 & ever since then i've been feel physically & mentally worse. I feel like 2 people in one body. i feel like everything is in movie form like im watching my life in a movie... i feel scared when i see my arms move because it doesnt feel like me because i feel so detached!.. Can someone please give me encouraging words because this is really getting to me

I was taking Seroquel 50mg for 10days but i cut it in half last night because im trying to wean off of it. its not helping my anxiety at all! only the xanax ( alittle)

I am sorry you are feeling so detached. It is not a fun sensation.

Yes, feel like I don't even know who I am sometimes. I used to be a confident person, comfortable with myself even though I was overweight.

Now that I have lost more than 55 lbs I have totally lost my self-confidence. My self-image is bad. I FEEL fat, even though I can see my bones sticking out.

I no longer feel comfortable in my sense of style and the clothes I wear. I know that in deep down in the real me, I still have the same style and hopefully confidence.

But I don't feel it. I feel so detached from who I used to be sometimes.
