What is going on?

Postby livemarcolive » Mon Jul 04, 2011 4:30 pm

i have had no concept of reality for the past few months, i do things by instinct and i know i am doing them, but im not telling myself to, i feel like i am still a functioning member of society because i can accomplish things, im jsut no exactly sure how im doing them because im not tellign myself to, such as with this typing, i am doing it, to try to better myself, but its like somone else is doing it for me, it has been like this for months, it started one night, when i was lying in bed, and i was deep in thought about time, and what it really is, i was lost inside my head for quite some time, jsut thinking, sence then, i have been constantly thinking about reality, and what it is, nothing feels real, i was not worried befor, because i was still functioning, i wasnt sure how, but i was, but as of a few days ago, along with this whole mental state, now i cannot feel anything, i cannot distinguis between diffent textures, everything feels the same, everything just feels tingly, i sence it most in my legs, when i touch my legs together i dont feel them hitting eachother, but i know they are, i just feel the feeling you get when your legs are asleep, it happens with everything, and it aplifies the feeling more so of doing things, without knowing i am because i use to just hold onto the fact i could feel what i was doing so i knew it was me doing it, but now i dont have that,

I posted this on another forum, and they said it might be depersonalization, so i figure this is were i would ask next.

Hey,

Depersonalization is quite a common feeling, as far as mental 'issues' go. I've had it a few times, but never for prolonged periods of time. I could be walking along the street and then get a feeling as if I'm not really walking and that the whole world is converging it's gaze on me... difficult to explain with the words that we've got, right?

It can arise from anxiety issues and good 'ol depression. So, in this light, perhaps figuring out to what degree you are afflicted with either or both of these is a good start to indirectly dealing with the depersonalization feelings. People have different opinions on this though.

What are you doing in life???????
