Dreams vs Reality

[Snorkmaiden]

So this last week or so I've felt really weird. Its like I'm not really here, or I am but I'm also watching myself from the outside. I feel detatched from reality. Then theres the horrific mood swings and the dreams. My god the f***king dreams. Its got to the point where I dont wanna sleep anymore. They're so vivid and horrible and downright odd and when I wake up I'm not sure if I'm awake and through the whole day I'm not quite sure what bits I'm remembering were real and what was dream even though they are so bloody surreal. I mean yesterday morning the sound of my alarm clock made this image jump into my head of a man having his head bitten off by a giant rabbit... whats that all about???? That and after 6 weeks free of SI, its back with avengance. I've made a right mess of my legs and I'm not even getting as much feeling of relief as I used to just more guilt and disgust with myself, but once I start cutting I just can't seem to stop, its never enough.
I've never had this detatched feeling for more than a day at a time before and I don't like it. Does anyone know what it is and how I can get rid of it?
Please...
:sad:

It sounds a bit maybe like dissociation but other people may be able to shed more light on that. Have you spoken to anyone about the dreams and images? I know you may not want to sweetie but it sounds really distressing. *hugs you* I'm sorry I can't be more help. I hope you feel a bit better soon xx

hi there,

it sounds alot like my dissociation except i dont remember anything. i lose alot of time and have no idea what ive done when ive been "away".

i think its something you should really mention to your doc or therapist. therapy is really the only method of treatment for dissociation.

i hope you can find some peace soon.
much love.

I get things like that all the time :/
But...I dont have a clue...not been to my doctor yet..(although someone in my thread also suggested dissociation)

Maybe try talking to a doctor or psych/counsellor about it hun?
