Weird Feelings
Idk what this would be related to, possibly my depression or anxiety. I have been coping well with these but this started happening sometime after I got these under control. I wasn't sure, but I have been having some difficulties latelty. I have been experiencing times of feeling really distanced from myself. I sort of zone out completely somedays, and get this feeling that i am just a puppet in a way. I kind of just drag my body along with me, it almost feels numb. When I get this way, I also feel really diagusted ar people. Everything seems to look clearer and hyperrealistic? I start to feel the area around me and see people as more of biological meat sacks than actual people. Its really been affecting me, when i have these episode. I can't concentrate, especially on people talking. Words flow right through me, and i just feel far away from them. Thats the best I can explain it. Has anyone else experienced this? Can someone tell me what it is, or what its caused by?
Maybe its derealization or depersonalization, Then again I'm no professional, Maybe a profession would be able to help you figure it out,
Things like this often require professional help. Just saying.
@Devilishnephilim There have been a few times I've had the feeling of being distanced from my body and like I'm dragging it around. The numb feeling. Things do seem kind of surreal and I can't concentrate while I'm feeling this way. It's like seeing things happening to someone else, but still through their eyes. It hasn't happened often and fortunately hasn't lasted for an extended amount of time for me. So far, at least. I don't know why it happens, but it seems to happen at times I'm feeling very depressed or stressed. But not every time. I don't know what makes the difference. If at all possible, I try to go to sleep because it will be gone when I wake up. But if sleep isn't possible, like when I'm at work, either something will happen that I relate to and snaps me out of it or it will eventually fade away as I continue to go about the day to day business of living. I've never thought to mention this to anyone, so I have no idea why or how it happens. I have no idea what it is. But it is weird, you're right about that.
Sometimes I call this feeling the "aquarium feeling" because when you're experiencing it, it honestly seems like you're floating behind a wall of glass, watching the world swim around you. It is textbook depersonalization. I don't generally mind it; I sort of see it as one of the ways my poor brain copes when I am overwhelmed by stress and "outside forces." Often, I would rather experience this semi-trance than the pain and anxiety I would be dealing with otherwise.

I think the term you're looking for to label this is "dissasociation". I've suffered with it myself on and off for years.

Sorry, spellcheck doesn't seem to work here x_x
