feelings help: I have those creepy feelings again and I’ve no clue what are they but they’re driving me crazy. - Help.com

What does your dr say?

It is just a side effect of the drugs. All mind altering substances have weird side effects.

I would speak to your dr. Your meds may need adjusting.

I don’t want to scare you (and after all, I’m not a dr) but that sounds like a symptom of schizophrenia. there is this thing where they freeze up. I forget what its called.

Sometimes our brains get “locked” into a cycle for no particular reason.

In some people, this manifests itself as a compulsive obsession eg. they have a compelling urge to wash their hands. They don’t know why and the more they try not to, the more they feel compelled to.

Brains are complex things. We respond to certain triggers. Usually, these responses are to be expected eg. we smell bread baking and our brains tell us we feel hungry suddenly. Sometimes, however, our response mechanism seems to misfire and we do something “weird”. For you, entereing the bathroom triggers an unusual response.

Hypnotists are very good at manipulating this “response” mechanism. I’m sure you’ve seen them on TV .. “when you hear the word bicycle, you will immediately start to sing the national anthem..” that sort of thing? And sure enough, the subject responds with a verse or two much to everyone’s amusement!

Now why is your response mechanism misfunctioning? That’s what you need to try and find out. Firstly, you need to ask your doctor to rule out any physical cause. Our brains are just like machines and work on electrical impulse, so you do need to make sure that there isn’t a broken connection perhaps. This can happen following a head injury, a minor stroke, trauma at birth or pressure on the brain.. your doctor may recommend a scan if this is a concern. Sometimes we don’t really KNOW why this happens but medication can ease the symptoms.

Do consider trying complimentary therapies if you don’t feel that your current set-up is working for you. Could be that hypnotherapy provides relief for you by re-programming your thought sequence just enough to break the cycle? Might be worth asking about!

It is important that you do discuss this with your doctor. Believe it or not, “weirdness” and particularly feelings of doom or dread can be a symptom of an arterial problem. Sounds unlikely doesn’t it? But absolutely true!

Don’t worry about being “weird”. We’re all a bit weird in some way or other. It’s what makes us fascinating :o)

Although I’ve never had this particular thing, i have had feelings similar to this when I was younger I went through brief psychosis and everything just stopped making sense for a while it felt like I was in the Matrix or something I used to have panic attacks about everything not being real and that I was losing my mind. The brain is a very strange and complex thing, it makes us think things are a certain way when they’re not at all, sounds like you need to talk to your doctor about adjusting your medication, sometimes they **** up when giving you your medication I was on Flueoxitine for a little while and it made me go like a zombie. You just have to remember it’s all in your head and that you’re in control of your thoughts.
