Trouble Focusing Head Pressure Posted: 02-18-07 17:39pm
I am 20 year old male and I have recently
been experiencing some odd focusing
problems. It as if I cannot focus on what
is going on around me, everything feels
like its moving faster then I can
comprehend it. I don't use drugs although
I used to smoke marijuana one in a while.
I've stopped for good reasons since I
would experience horrible panic attacks
when I did smoke. I feeling i've been
getting is almost similar to having a
hangover. My brain feels slightly swollen
and i'm certainly irritable. I've been
sleeping late like 2am sometimes 5am and
wake up around 12pm and today I woke up at
3pm. I thought perhaps the extra sleep
would help me but I cannot seem to shake
this feeling off. I even play brain age
every day to see if i'm losing cognitive
function but my memory speed seems to be
improving rather then decreasing. I am
wondering if its a lack of exercise or
poor circulation, do I have a mental
condition? I wish I could see a doctor
and get an mri, but I have no health
insurance since I am currently out of
school and won't be returning until late
august.
Some other things I have been feeling is a
complete feeling of apathy, the lack of
any type of emotions sometimes. And like
last night I felt so depressed and
helpless I began to cry for no reason.
I'm trying to self aware as possible but I
cannot seem to feel normal. I don't seem
to see any of my friends, I typically live
alone and I have trouble coping with some
of my problems. I used to to obsessive
compulsive disorder but I shook that off
as a kid. Most people think I have add
because of my short attention span. I
left my phycologist a message so I could
set up an appointment. I would really
like to find out if this is all
psychological or something physical. If
anyone has any insight or medical
experience I would greatly appreciate it.

i think i'm experiencing something you
have but a little different. i smoked
cannabis and had a horrible panic attack
and i am scared to death of smoking ever
again. I have been seeing things slower
than usual and its been happening for a
week since i smoked. this is really
scaring me and also my head feels awkward,
like theres something stuck in my skull.
heaviness. i think its an axienty disorder
or something. i just dont feel the same.
