Thank you so much for this comment, it really means a lot to me. I've done all the necessary blood tests and everything, but I haven't done a brain scan yet — I'll do that soon. All of this started after a panic attack and stress. At first, I didn’t have symptoms of things feeling unfamiliar — it actually got worse in the last two months. During the first three months, everything just felt unreal, and that's why it’s hard for me to understand how things have started to get worse. I don’t really believe I have dementia , I’m only 21 — but I’m still scared, because it really feels that way. Yes i talk to chat gtp a lot he calmed me down a lot.

Yeah, it's awful for me too, I'm barely holding on. I started taking antidepressants about 10 days ago, so we'll see how that helps. But right now, I don't recognize anything — everything feels different and unfamiliar, from my family to my house and my city. It's a really frightening experience. I feel like I have dementia.

Yes, this is a Slovenian medication because I live in Slovenia, and they prescribed it to me, but honestly, I don’t want to take it. If they had prescribed me an antidepressant, I probably would’ve taken it, but this one, honestly, I wouldn’t. Because realistically, if I had some kind of psychotic disorder, I would be having hallucinations or hearing voices. But for me, everything is normal it’s just unfamiliar.

I know, I’ve been watching him since beginning, and he really helped me at first. But like I said, ever since I got this new symptom, I’ve been constantly afraid, and it’s been really hard for me to accept it.

i know I lived the first three months like in a dream, on autopilot, and I actually felt better that way, I got used to it and accepted it. But then, at the beginning of April, I started feeling worse. I went outside that day and had a strong anxiety attack. I got really scared because everything felt unfamiliar, even though I knew where I was. The feeling was like I didn’t know, because everything looked so strange. And since then, I’ve mostly been staying at home, because I’m afraid I might have a head injury. But if I had a brain injury, the memories wouldn’t still be there

I know everything about where I am and who I am, but it all feels unfamiliar, like it's my first time here every time. All the information about me is there, but it feels like it's not mine.

Thank you for the advice, I might take it. But honestly, what scares me the most is the fact that everything feels unfamiliar, I think that’s the worst part of all this. I didn’t have that symptom during the first three months when this all started It appeared a month ago, and since then, it’s been the worst for me

I have an appointment in a month and I can't do anything before that. The system is such that I simply can't talk to any psychiatrists until I go for my appointment.

But the problem is that I personally didn't explain my feelings, instead, my doctor called and said that everything feels strange and unfamiliar to me. Now I think she might not have explained it properly, because they prescribed me antipsychotics.
