Q : Whats It like to lose your mind?

[Stellata]

What do you feel it might be like?

My perspective is that you can't actually lose your mind, but you can like 'jump out of your skin', or, rather, your mind. When you feel stressed beyond bearing it, frightened, terrified. It's what some theoreticians call 'fragmenting'. But, with help and support, you can connect the pieces up again. I know, because it's happened to me like that a number of times.

Do you feel okay to tell us why you feel like this?

As Stellata said, to me I don't really feel you can "lose your mind". But I do know what it's like to feel as if you're losing control, like you are unsafe with yourself. If you ever need to talk, I'm here

I often think I have but then if I am worried or thinking about that, it must surely still be there, even if it is in a shrunken or hidden state.

Sorry that prob doesn't make any sense. I'm useless at conveying any kind of meaning.

Please take care. There are actually lots of very helpful people on this site.
