I’ve been experiencing a feeling where it seems like my reality is just a memory and I don’t know what it is or what to do.

Hi all,

Basically, for the last few years I’ve been experiencing a feeling which would typically only last a few minutes yet still manage to disorientate me. It feels as if the present moment I’m in at that time is just a part of a memory from my mind wandering, and like I’m trying to snap myself back into the “present” which I already know is that current moment. It’s hard to explain, and I can only apologise for the vagueness of the description, but if any of you have experienced similar feelings please do let me know. Thank you!

Hi ElysianEclipse:

I can understand you completely. It is as I feel at times these days. It is if what I’m seeing and hearing is actually what is there or a memory. The mind is confused which gives you all these odd feelings. It happens to me at unexpected moments. At times which even causes me to be completely unaware of what is going on. I have always seen it as if stepping out of a video of the presence and wondering if that is or actually isn’t what is taking place today or right now.

I know where you are coming from. You are not alone.

Hey Brainstorm,

Firstly, sorry for the late reply. However I would like to say thank you for the kind response. So many people go through such different struggles, but I don’t think I’ve ever met one who understands where I’m coming from, or what actually happens in these moments. I appreciate your support.
