If that is your only stmpton, I would not say it is AIDS that quickly. But it could be a stroke, heart problem or an issue with your brain.
I would seek help right away, that is alarming.
Good luck and don't take this lightly.



Could be panic attacks/anxiety. I get those A LOT. Sometimes I can feel like I'm not "inside" myself and it feels like I can't feel certain limbs ...*confusing*... Probably depersonalization!

Depersonalization (or depersonalisation) is a malfunction or anomaly of the mechan*ism by which an individual has self-awareness. It is a feeling of watching oneself act, while having no control over a situation.[1] It can be considered desirable, such as in the use of recreational drugs, but it usually refers to the severe form found in anxiety and, in the most intense cases, panic attacks. Sufferers feel they have changed, and the world has become less real, vague, dreamlike, or lacking in significance. It can be a disturbing experience, since many feel that, indeed, they are living in a "dream".

Depersonalization is a subjective experience of unreality in one's sense of self, while derealization is unreality of the outside world. Although most authors currently regard depersonalization (self) and derealization (surroundings) as independent constructs, many do not want to separate derealization from depersonalization.[2]

Chronic depersonalization refers to depersonalization disorder, which is classified by the DSM-IV as a dissociative disorder. Though depersonalization-derealization feelings can happen to anyone subject to temporary severe anxiety/stress, chronic depersonalization is more related to individuals who have experienced a severe trauma or prolonged stress/anxiety. Depersonalization-derealization is the single most important symptom in the spectrum of dissociative disorders, including dissociative identity disorder and "dissociative disorder not otherwise specified" (DD-NOS). It is also a prominent symptom in some other non-dissociative disorders, such as anxiety disorders, clinical depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, migraine, sleep deprivation, and some types of epilepsy.[citation needed]

In social psychology (including social identity theory and self-categorization theory), the term depersonalization has a different meaning. In this area of research, depersonalization refers to a switch to a group level of self-categorization in which self and others are seen in terms of their group identities.

If this doesn't sound anything like what your experiencing, seek help from a doctor because then this is not mental its physical and probably MORE serious.
Good luck!
