it's a difficult feeling to describe, but to me it's always felt like a lucid dream. the world feels topsy-turvy and the colors seem too bright, bleeding into eachother.
how do i explain to the people i care about, how do i communicate that sometimes i may be here physically, but mentally i'm sitting in my head watching my life play like a movie? how do i tell them that when i begin to come back to earth, everything crashes down and i have to run away to cry, hopefully away from prying eyes?
how do i help them understand and not think i'm crazy?
i feel so much shame when i start to cry; my mind is both empty and running a million miles per hour. time is crawling by but also going too fast, and all the days blur together. when i go to sleep knowing that in only a few short hours, i'll begin the same monotonous routine i play through every day, i have that hopeless feeling.
my limbs feel like weights and everything is too much. it's a lot easier to imagine the worst when i don't feel like me. but is this me? i don't know anymore.
idek, maybe i'm just overdramatic, but i felt like i needed release some pressure on my mind i guess.

Is it normal to isolate yourself when you feel lonely

hey friend! don't feel hopeless. I've heard of similar things before and have experienced these things as well! has this been happening for awhile or is this new? If it's newer, have you experimented with any drugs recently? even an edible. I did some experimentation with some things and felt disassociation as well.
here's one thing: you're not crazy. even if you haven't been experimenting, you're still not crazy. this could be caused by multiple things; stress, ptsd/trauma, anxiety-a series of things. I would talk to someone, as to maybe they could help you discover the root of the problem. I'm here for you, man:) I'm sorry you're going through this, but please know, you're not alone; you're loved, you're treasured, you're special-and you're NOT crazy. Okay?
I'm listening, I'm here:)

Replyhello, sorry for the dummy late response lol, but no, no drugs. it's not a new feeling, i've had it for as long as i can remember, but i only realized recently that most people don't have this issue :/ i have no clue what the root of it could be considering it's been present so long - if something did happen there's no chance i remember it. but yeah, thank you for the support, that's very sweet of you :)
