    Hi all,

    To start this off I've been feeling off for the last few months, year or two, I don't know. The realisation has hit me in the last few weeks that I've not been truly happy for a long time now. I'm not sure if I'm projecting my current feeling into the past or anything but I'm a bit worried about how I'm feeling in general. I've started to get anxiety attacks and a general sense of detachment, the echoes of memories that feel profound even when I can't get beyond that sense of deja vu.

    I spent a long time, 7 years in univeristy and never had any trouble. I changed univeristy at one stage but I've always managed to be sociable, was never a party animal but used to go out and chill out with friends a good bit. When I went to my masters that kinda got reined in and though I've a few different circles of friends through each course I was in. 2 undergrads and a postgrad I've always kept a certain core group of friends. What I'm seeing now is I've moved away from them and I only get to see a certain amount of them irrregularly. This didn't bother me until recently as I had two or 3 close mates around that were an outlet.

    Recently I've been having to work 10-13 hour shifts and I'm just wondering if this is the reason that I'm feeling so down or is it just allowing my existing feelings to manifest. I'm generally by myself outside of work monday-thursday. My memory is suffering as I'm having trouble seperating what's real from what is not at time though that is both fleeting and irregular.


    I've quit my job today and while there was a certain amount of relief I do feel that I could be reacting to the wrong stimulus and this could be an internal problem and im dealing with the symtoms and not the cause.

    I'm may elaborate further but I think thats big enough as an opening post.

    Thanks

    Sorry to read that you're not feeling too well at the moment.
    You quit your job- are you moving to a new one?

    To be honest you need to speak to your gp about the way you're feeling.
