Am I going crazy or what?

I have Bipolar for over 10 years now. Sent I was in my teens I have feel detach or ever people around me unreal. I have sent on a bench downtown jest watching other peoples walking bye. It seems that I in a bowl and feeling cut off or distant from the immediate surroundings. Some time I am in a group (like last night at a new year’s party); I start to feel that a part of my body was falling asleep or feel Nome. I also feel emotionally with family my relationships jest gray it was not allway that way. I have read that anxiety disorder or panic disorder is one reason for this but I do not think I have a problem with anxiety disorder or panic disorder. I’m I going crazy or what?

Hi kc,

Do you feel panic? or anxiety?
Have you had trauma in your childhood?

Do you enjoy being with others?
Often this is a reaction to something, someone or a situation that makes you uncomfortable. or much more than uncomfortable.

A therapist or pdoc could help you sort this out.

Does being bipolar contribute to these feelings. Is feeling cut off a part of bipolar or is it separate.

For the last 10 years I also feel like I'm not 100% present or alive. I'd say about 50% of me feels like I'm here and the rest doesn't. I have many moments where all a sudden I feel that I'm somewhere else and not here and I feel how much time passed so quickly in life and I felt i haven't even been there to really experience it all. Sometimes I look at someone I've known for years and I look at their face and I feel I dont even know who the person is or that i'm looking at them for the first time.
