Floating inside body?

Postby WeAreOne420 » Mon Apr 13, 2020 8:55 pm

Just wondering who else feels like they're disassociating within the body? Almost like flying or floating?


Best I can describe it is feeling high/drunk and needing to hold onto something or you'll fall down.

I feel like that INSIDE. we all do I believe. Some are more grounded than others.

Feeling stable at the moment because.I accidentally got stuck somewhere and its the most stable feeling we've been constantly in quite some time.

I got uncomfortable about something today and for the first time in a week I felt like I was flying on the inside again.

I found some solid ground again but man...this is intense.

I've noticed my symptoms aren't exactly "normal" but the way my alters function (protectors,hosts etc. ) seem to be where I have typical symptoms.


Is anyone out there like this?

Also I feel like I've asked this before but ...well you know how it goes lol

The experience of somehow going into an inner void is a common variant of an out-of-body experience. Many of us have that inner void experience.

It has nothing to do with the "inner emptiness" of borderline personality disorder.

Yes, the floating but also the other way around? Like you feel stuck on the inside of your skin and cant get loose. It feels very uncomfortable to.

I hade kinda both since the begining of the quarantine. I'm not human-shaped and being stuck inside by the quarnatine made me feel stuck inside my own skin. And in the same time, I cannot front properly so I'm doing my "host" job by "hiding behind others" (i.e. others front and I kinda remote-control them). I don't feel "here" at all even though it's my way to do the things, to think, to speak.... but it's not the me-feeling.

I need out and under trees.
