Losing feeling

I can feel myself disassociating. I haven't been this bad in a while but I got into an argument, well less of an argument and more like I was gaslit and belittled, and I am so mentally drained. I feel like I'm checking out. My limbs are starting to feel foreign. Walking or just moving feels almost artificial. My mind feels cloudy and it's almost like I've got tunnel vision. I used to hate feeling numb but I'm afraid of feeling right now, I'm still in this argument and I'm afraid of gettin hurt.

@BLINKER7

You are going through a lot. It seems scary and depleting your energy. Sending you all my appreciation from here.

The overwhelming stress and anxiety peaks because of this conflict might cause dissociations.

You can do some deep breathing to calm down, and practice "grounding" techniques when you feel the dissociation coming. You can find some grounding techniques here:

I also share with you the link to an article about dissociation caused by high anxiety, written by a mental health professional expert on this topic:

I wish you that things get less stressful and less scary soon.

Please keep us updated.

All the best.

Marcelo.
