so detached today...

[Merc]

ever get those days when you feel unreal? You can still function but its totally autopilot and seems a dream? Like driving today, i was aware, safe, etc...but it didnt feel real at the same time...
looking around at things to be done and they seem to belong to soemone else...and i cant get it thru my head what to do with them...they seem foriegn somehow...
i feel made of wood, stiff, unreal, detached...
like the day after an OD almost...closest i can describe it...
i dont know
im babbling now..sorry
thought this might make me connect soemhow

Hey Romp
I have felt like that before. It is very strange. And it can seem a little scary sometimes but other times you cant feel anthing apart from scared. There are a few things which might help. Firstly when your feeling like that, try a sugary drink like lucozade. Often when your blood sugar dips you can feel kind of surreal. My second surgestion is to try to sleep for a little while, even if its only a doze for 10 minutes.

Be careful when your like this though. Espically if your driving, your reactions maybe slower.

Take care

i can relate to that completely
it has been happening to me a lot lately
i call it a "nothing feeling" because i am going through all the motions of life but i feel like nothing and i dont feel anything about things that i know i should be emotionally responding to
definitely be careful driving (i lost a tire and destroyed my alignment that way oops)
and be extra careful with what you do to yourself because when your emotions and sensations and things are numb it is easy to go too far
please be safe and keep posting

thanks guys! yes it is just like that; a 'nothing feeling'..i should be reacting but i feel absolutely nothing...i feel like i cant even FEEL anything..(nice sentence, i know). Like i have never had feelings before and am lost..but not lost because that is a feeling and i dont have any...what a mess..but im glad at least someone(s) understand..altho im sorry too.
anywyas thanks..i will try the drink, tried the sleep today and laying there alone made me feel i was fading away..like i was a dream of myself and was to disappear anytime,that if i did sleep i wouldnt wake because i would be gone..that was scary.
