Is it normal to feel as though you are not in control of your own body? Like someone else is in the control room and you're on autopilot?

It is normal. I have felt this way in my past. This can happen to someone if they haven't had enough sleep or if they are dehydrated. This can also be an emotional response to traumatic events. There are other explanations as well.

We are spirits having a body experience. As such there will be times when our existence feels surreal and off. As you learn to re-engage your body in various ways, you will be able to find a new found connection with it.

Hello there, I have had my days where I left like this, It feels like you are watching a movie in a first person perspective and do not have control. Usually this is a small sign of possible depression and it brings on this sense of not having control. Be sure to talk to someone about it if you ever need to and take good care of yourself :)

What you are feeling is called dissociation. A good way to deal with this is to leave a fan blowing cold air somewhere on your body so it can bring you back to the present. It's okay and don't worry when it happens, it happens to all of us, but some more frequent than others.

Normal to certain extent, depending on whats causing this. felling not in control of your own body is a horrible feeling, and not good. Need to regain yourself and regain control

yes, it is absolutely normal. But, you need to draw the line and know where to stop giving others freedom to control you. Sometimes, when we suffer from extreme illness, we tend to feel as if we are not able to take care of ourselves and therefore, we need someone by our side. But that doesn't mean we are giving undue freedom to them to take advantage of our weakness

If you are feeling that you aren't in control of yourself, perhaps its time to speak with a therapist, counselor or trusted healthcare provider for more answers.

Sometimes, yes! This can be a spiritual experience, something religious, or possibly just a daydream. Other times, it might be something like Dissociative Identity Disorder. I'd recommend seeing someone just in case and talking to a trusted adult.
