Sometimes I get this foggy feeling in my head, it's feels like this physical sensation across my forehead and eyes. It used to only happen in supermarkets so I thought that it was because of the fluorescent lighting, but it also happens in busy outdoor places where there is lots going on or lots of people. I can't concentrate and it takes so much energy and effort to grip onto the present moment and stay grounded in my surroundings. It always happens when crossing a busy road near my house, and I feel so foggy that I don't trust myself to safely cross the road so I deliberately increase or decrease my pace of approach to the crossing so that I can cross with someone, and I just cross when they cross. It doesn't happen if I'm with family or friends, only when I'm on my own so I think it's anxiety.
I have a diagnosis of anxiety and am on sertraline, but I'm thinking of bringing it up with my GP.
Does anyone experience anything similar?
