Do You Ever Feel Detached From Reality ?

Yes, its also very common with anxiety. You should try grounding techniques, its a means of getting out of that detachment and accepting that you are here and that everything is still happening around you.

For a long time i felt extremely unattached from reality. Depression and anxiety caused this in me, It is very hard to get out of if you've been feeling that for a long time. With motivation, determination, coping skills, etc. It can be overcomed.

Yes I do. Sometimes, I just feel that I am not made to be here. It's rough. I lose concentration and stare in the blank space trying to catch up with my past, and the reality just stops.

I’ve been feeling like that a lot lately, I don’t know what’s triggered it because I haven’t felt like this in a long time. I think it’s the depression and anxiety doing it for me, but it makes me feel like I’m going insane and I hate it

Yes I do! All the time. Actually right now I do. Its really hard to feel that way. I try different things to bring myself back. Like changing my environment to somewhere I have never been before really helps.

Yes, sometimes. I personally have an alternate personality, and when she is in complete control, I feel like I am in a coma- so barely feeling at all. Detached describes it well. Waking back up can be a slow, difficult process.

I have. Sometimes I'll sit down after washing the dishes and I'd space out until I can't feel my fingers. There's probably another word for that kind of experience, but yeah. I do.

Yes it can happen especially when you happen to encounter a sad or traumatic event and can lead you to dissociate yourself from reality.

When I fall into a low spot with my depression I feel like my problems aren't real, that they can't be real.

yes actually , most of the time i try to focus on some thing like my study but within a minute i find my self thinking about stars or friends .......

Yes, especially when reality bites. Sometimes it is better to just look away and try to imagine yourself in a far away land where heartaches, depression, anxiety, physical pains and anguish do not exist.

I do, it normally happens during a depressive episode or after an anxiety attack. Sometimes it'll happen for no reason, but it seems to be connected to overwhelming emotional experiences

Yes. Most of the time I face this when I have too much to think about or that Im so stressed that I just disconnect from the world and hopefully my problems

Yes of course, I think we all experience this at some point in our lives. It's how we deal with that that's important.

Absolutely I feel detached from reality at times. I dissociate, and it can feel like an intense daydream, or like that reality is in the present. When this happens, I have to get space. That can be so frustrating for me. I want to connect and be around people, and when I am not feeling attached to myself and to the present, it is not possible to do. Cold water, whether drinking or splashing my face, helps. I thought dissociating was only for soldiers with PTSD. That is not true, though. PTSD can look different to a lot of people.
