body – mind – disconnected?
Ok, reposting because I got a bunch of rude/weird answers (idk why some people think I should shave my head & stuff like that??? And I’m NOT on drugs)
Every once in a while I suddenly find myself just observing my body – moving and talking..
but it’s weird, because then I realize I’m just watching everything happen – I’m not actually consciously talking or moving…
Kind of like watching a movie – or another person… Only I’m sitting right in my head – and looking trough my eyes?
Sometimes I see my reflection and it takes me a few seconds to realize that it’s actually *me*
It really freaks me out whenever it happens – whatever you’d call it…
I can usually snap out of it after I realize it’s happening again
What IS this?

edit:
I googled some stuff and the thing that sounds similar to what I’m experiencing is something called Depersonalization disorder “(DPD) is a dissociative disorder in which the sufferer is affected by persistent or recurrent feelings of depersonalization and/or derealization. The symptoms include a sense of automation, going through the motions of life but not experiencing it, feeling as though one is in a movie, feeling as though one is in a dream, feeling a disconnection from one’s body; out-of-body experience, a detachment from one’s body, environment and difficulty relating oneself to reality.”
Never heard of it before though… but it would explain a lot of the stuff that I’ve been experiencing…
