Sometimes I get into this state of mind for no reason that its hard to describe but I will try my best to see if its understandable.
~A feeling i am being watched, not as protected but more like studied.
~Senses are a little bit abstracted. Facial movements seem intensified to where its scowling/grimacing, distorted.
~My senae of hearing is distorted and sound is less ambient and sounds more minor-tone.
Im not sure i would call it schizophrenic, my thoughts arent racing, I speak fast but I live in Michigan and we speak fast here, no one has yet told me a person doesnt exist.
I have had depression in the early and mid teen years.
17/m
Additional info, added Tuesday May 4 2010, 7:13 pm: It comes without warning and its not when i am particularly panicked or anything

A response to evaluation questions
Do you ever feel out of body, or like you're not really present?--yes
Do you ever find yourself missing hours in the day, unable to account for what happened during them? --yes
You mentioned you struggled with depression - are you feeling any of those symptoms? --yes
Does your heart rate ever speed up (or slow down) considerably when you're just standing there?--not always noticable at 1st, but yes
Do you ever use any drugs? No judgments here - some of them can cause some of the symptoms you're describing.--I have ODed on nonprescription and Insulin before but rarely.
Do you sleep at least 6 hours a night?--I have sleep apnea but technically I sleep 6:30. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?

Please know that this is not an official or professional diagnosis - I'm years away from having my license to practice - and that I strongly suggest you have a psychological evaluation.
Just based on what you tell me up there, I'd call it General Anxiety Disorder.
A couple of questions, though:
Do you ever feel out of body, or like you're not really present?
Do you ever find yourself missing hours in the day, unable to account for what happened during them?
You mentioned you struggled with depression - are you feeling any of those symptoms?
Does your heart rate ever speed up (or slow down) considerably when you're just standing there?
Do you ever use any drugs? No judgments here - some of them can cause some of the symptoms you're describing.
Do you sleep at least 6 hours a night?
I'm hoping you'll give me a little more info so I can see the situation a little more clearly, but if not, please get yourself evaluated - there's no reason to feel this way. If you're not sure how to go about finding someone to evaluate you, drop a question in my inbox or IM me (SirenCytherea on AIM).
If you don't choose to contact me, good luck, and hang in there.
