I am diagnosed with gad, depression, and ocd. For the past month i have been feeling like i am in a dream.I am able to function i just feel unreal doing it. Being away from home makes it worse. I feel like i am losing my touch with reality. My vision has been very fuzzy. I feel like i am never going to get better. I am so hopeless. My memory also sucks. I really don't know what to do. am i ever going to get better? i feel like i am losing my mind. I'm scared that i wont even know what feeling better feels like.

Hey Carol!
First, I'd like to welcome you to the neighborhood, haha. You sound a lot like me in some ways. When I was 8/9 I was diagnosed with GAD. Then a year later I was told I had hypoglycemia, and depression has started to become present in my life. My self-esteem has been shot to pieces, and growing up in a huge family hasn't exactly helped any of these. I also know what you mean about going through life in a dream-like state. That's how my life was for about 3 years. But slowly, reality sunk back in. At times, I have felt worthless, hopeless, a waste of space. The important thing is to remember that you do matter and things get better. I hope you feel better soon, like I am now.
Warm wishes,
CATeen
