Does anybody else experience something which I can only descibe as a kind of
feeling of some kind of energy like vortex enimating from there head, when
I say a vortex I mean a kind of feeling like there is some sort of energy field
or force round my head eminating from my forehead area, but this energy field
feels like it is twisting and turning, like it is trying to detatch from my head
or is spinning round making my head feel like it is expanding , contracting and
not feeling quite all there as it normally should

I usually experience these strange feelings when in a bad dr'ed state and also
only since I have taken drugs

I could visual representaion of what I am trying to describe is if anyone here
has seen the film donnie darko, you know the bit where donnie sees the energy
worm things or the "workers" that everyone has, well it feels like my "worker"
attached to my head has gone all crazy and is going off in all sorts of directions
and is out of control, sort of like the bit in this picture in the film were
donnie's face goes all weird when he goes into someone elses energy worm. ->

I imagine all this is a anxiety based feeling, but it is a really really
unpleasent sensation to feel, and is possibly my worst dp or dr sympons
(don't know which condition this feeling would be associated with)

Without Risperdal I'd feel like that all the time, so I believe in the imbalance of some stuff in the brain- theory (caused by psychological issues). The feeling stopped when I started taking R, so I regard it as yet another symptom. I'd like to have the more positive energy rush some day,that was a good feeling.

not sure if I experience the exact symptoms, but i've isolated the feeling into my thought process. my thoughts are being pulled in countless different directions and if i let it create anxiety, hen it feels as if it becomes physical in nature, such as my head entering a vortex.

I definitely relate to it, and the picture is excellent. It's also similar to the painting "The Scream" by Edvard Munch. That's a depiction of a massive anxiety state, but also has the "waves" that emanate from the person into his environment.....very easy to relate to.

I do not think it's anything neurological, though. I lived that way for years, and once the entire set of symptoms began to break up (from therapy, not meds), those feelings faded more and more. Now the only way I can relate at all is by memory. I've still got the same Brain, the same wiring, etc. But I don't have the chronic undercurrent of anxiety anymore. So to me, that's what was sourcing those bizarre brain experiences.

Peace,

Thanks for the replies everbody , it would seem that these strange feelings in my head are a result of anxiety of somesort, but they are very uncomfartable almost when they get there worst unbearable like a feeling of immense pressure in my head which can only be releived by usually sleeping or resting for a long time, so this is something im going to mention to my docter when I next see him as they are very uncomfartable and annoying to live with.

Yeh janine you are probably right, I think most if not all of the sympons I experince stem from anxiety and especially being anxious when I was on drugs (weed).
