Ive been disassociated from reality for the past 2 years. Ive gone to therapy b4 but i nvr liked my therapists lol. They all felt pretty useless to me. Its been gettin better now on my own but ive literally missed out on the past 2 yrs. It was so weird. I never could keep a conversation goin with anyone without freakin out inside my brain and feeling dizzy and that awful headache. I felt so disconnected from ppl and society and goin out has been so scary for me bc I dont feel real lol. Ive been trying to ground myself and slowly over the 2 years ive been makin small progress but its there. It takes time to heal. Its crazy. Im crazy lol. I sometimes felt like i needed to be in a mental hospital bc i LEGiT FELT LIKE a real life zombie everyday. Insane and i dont know anyone else that has had it for this long either. It would start from the moment i woke up till i went to sleep. I had my moments were my brain woke up but minutes later would go back to pilot mode. Scary shit.

(Im sorry for venting) i always feel like Im floating. its like nothing is real yet it is.
I think about the same thing and worry about the the same things, sometimes I get excited when I get something new to worry about, because I can only focus on that worry and not about everything else. When I get worried about something Im not able to focus on anything else. I cant remember the last time Ive felt normal, I havent cried in ages (except now bc Im releasing on my thoughts. I miss the warmth of enjoying things. my happiness is temporary any only lasts a couple minutes. i feel so uncomfortable and horrible. Some days I cant even recognize my face, I even forget my name. Everything isnt real but it is? my soul and body used to feel connected to the things I enjoy, now theres something around my soul to stop the connection. Everyday is a horrible war, oh I wish I could get rid of that thing.

Sometimes I have these episodes of feeling just very aware and ill be hit with many questions at one time like why did I do that why didn't I do that? Why aren't I doing this thing tight now? And for a few minutes I won't feel like me. I'll feel like a person judging this different person. Sometimes when this happens I'll forget things like who I am, what I am doing at that moment, and what I am. I'll have to remind myself, you are a human, you need to sit down and breath, get on your phone to feel busy. Its scary when it happens and I'll often scratch at my arms to snap out of it. I haven't really told anyone because it doesn't happen that often and mabey it's not that deep but damn do I hate it when it does happen.

I've found I dissociate when I am dealing with heavy/combating emotions. I have recently been going to see a counselor and she pointed it out to me. One moment we were reflecting on a heavy topic, and then the next thing I knew I had mentally checked out of the conversation. I had to force myself back into reality and get back into the conversation because my mind wanted to shut down or wander so bad. My memory of my childhood is kind of nonexistent to me, I don't remember much, just fragments of some events. Mentally I have lived in my own fantasies and that is how I've always coped in the real world.

Thank you. I experience this sometimes and it embarrasses me when Im in public. I remember the first time I experienced dissociation it made me so worried! Just know theres nothing to worry about if you experience this and to remind yourself and your brain that your safe. It can be scary, but there is nothing to worry about. I remind myself that its okay to dissociate a bit sometimes and it doesnt make me any less likable. Once I realized what dissociation is I felt so much more at ease cause I was able to understand my gaps in memory and why I forget where I am or certain faces.

I don't believe I suffer from dissociation, but there are times when I look in the mirror and sort of blow my own mind, thinking about how what I'm looking at is what I look like and how what I see is my actual face. And there are also times when the words I speak don't feel like my own, my words and everything around me seem sort of scripted, like I'm in a play. I'll sometimes block myself out when I'm in a group of friends and sort of push myself away from their conversations, allowing myself to get lost inside my own head, like zoning out but not if that makes any sense?

I don't know what I'm going through right now but my sister told me I've been violence to her with no reason and i don't have any memory of it. she said i was asleep and then i woke up instantly like a dead person would with red eyes strangle her neck and beating her up. this has been going for so long. but now I'm not that aggressive anymore. I've had anxiety, depression and loss memory. sometimes i felt distance from myself like lightheaded too. can someone explain this. i feel so terrible and sorry to her no words can describe perfectly to what I'm feeling rn.

I don't know if I have this, probably don't.
In my past I was going through a really depressive episode, just constant every day mental and emotional fatigue. And by the end of it I started to talk to myself as if I were two people. There was one version or part of me that went through all that pain. And there was another version of me that refused to feel what I was going through, telling myself I'd never let the other me go through that again.
And still today when I'm not mentally well, I speak to myself as if there were another person.

believe me when i say this its the worst feeling you could ever feel i had convinced my self i was dead and because i did that i couldnt believe anything that was actually happening like when i would eat i would think im not actually eating and im just dead watching my self live on or when i would talk to my friends i would think none of it was happening because my brain somehow tricked me into believing it even now i still sometimes convince myself that its not real or happening and i dont know how to stop these thoughts

I don't even believe that I'm living anymore, even right now as I'm writing this, I feel weird, it might be a combination of stress and anxiety that is causing this to happen. I don't know, I've been getting help for the past few years now but I feel like I'm getting no where. I feel like I'm not from here, that I don't belong, I feel out of place. My thoughts are incomplete and all over the place. I've been so quiet today and no one really cares. I don't know how to live with this, its hard.

I think I was dissociating during my 8th grade graduation. I knew I was supposed to feel happy and everything, but I just felt like I wasn't with reality or like I'm physically there, but my mind isn't. When I realized I was, I tried to stop it, but I couldn't get out of it, and I just don't remember much from the graduation anymore. I hate dissociation because it keeps me from feeling with reality. I ended up dissociating some parts of the rest of the day and panicked everytime I did.

I just zone out kinda and it feels like I'm floating. I don't think I have the memory loss part but all I know is when my family treats me a certain way I either zone out or have a outburst or I don't know how I react to it but I often get told I have lashed out or that I don't communicate with them anymore, that I have ( changed) tbh I think I'm perfectly fine and normal idk why I am sharing this on the internet bc I never make sense with what I am trying to say but I'd thought I'd share

my classmate tells me alot of the times that she has moments where she just kind of 'gets out of her body' and that some other person takes it over. once shes 'back in her body' she wouldnt remember anything what happened. she gave the 'people' shes referring to different names and characteristics. i always just thought she was a bit insane, or lacked attention, but she might have extreme cases of dissocation or maybe even schizophrenia. thats messed up bro.

Sometimes while Im driving I sit there and have a quick second of freaking out because how do I even know how to control this thing. Like I know I studied and took all the tests. But its just weird that like Im here. I exist. But at the same time it feels like I dont. Its gotten to a point where Im not even sure who I used to be. All I know is I must do whats right and do right by others

Idk why i am sayin this, but here i go. I recently moved into a new city like 2 months ago, and like it just feels lonely here. I keep zoning out ALOT, its like something is bothering me, a thought, a thought which even i dont know about. I have no friends, so its just like a daily cycle. It just feels, empty, like my life was full of fun back in my old house.

I sadly have experienced all of these but the scariest has to be derealization, when i look at the mirror sometimes i feel like i dont know the person thats being reflected. It feel like the movie 'Us' where the person in the mirror isnt really you but supposedly looks like you. I also have a hard time describing my face cause im never really aware of what i look like.

One time, I was playing with my mom and sister in my room. Suddenly I felt a rush of dizziness, and blankness, like your about to wake up from a dream. At that point, my thoughts was racing, and I felt like my entire life was a dream, and I was finally waking up. And then it ended.
turns out it was just iron deficiency lol, and I was about to faint.

I lose all sense of time when I dissociate, and it almost feels like I'm in my body, but that this body is not quite mine. Like my optic nerves aren't nerves, but plugs attached into my brain or skull, being used for sight but not as though I'm using my eyes to see. Like I've got a thick layer of rubber between myself and reality.

Who first started expanding the number of definitions for the word depersonalization? Further; How is a person supposed to survive becoming depersonalized while being ostracized and often then being turned away from people in other communities too until find the one where you can settle in?

It is scary but I have kinda gotten used to it. I've had these feelings for over 2 years now and my mom doesn't believe me and won't take me to a therapist. I don't remember anything traumatizing. But I want to go see a counselor and I think I might see one at school.

I dissociate because my mind tells me to. Its like, Youre not real. This is all a dream. and then I dissociate. Its so hard to get out of and Ive talked to my bros about this and they even said they feel the same way. How do I stop dissociating? I hate it.

I think I have dissociated before, I usually only do it when Im tired, overwhelmed, anxious, or pure pressured. I feel numb but somewhat Im aware that Im there but I feel like I would be dreaming or in a lucid dream or something it can be hard to explain at times.
