Scared

[Lindsey14]

I woke up this morning and i dont feel myself. I started questioning What if i dont have a soul? What if im not real? I just feel so unreal and it feels like im forgetting everything. I feel like i'm losing my mind

I know what you mean, I have days like that more often than I'd like.

I think it's a form of disconnection, I think grounding yourself is an important thing to do when you're feeling this way or maybe going out and getting some fresh air and rays (backyard is a good start).

You're not crazy, you're still here and you have a soul (don't you worry!) just do what you can.

Hope you feel better soon!

Stay strong ❤️

I have it nearly everyday, sometimes its hard to ground myself

[gilded_masquerade in reply to Lindsey14]

Does it last a long time, happen in bursts etc.? And do you have any activities that you find help you relax?

Sorry if I'm interrogating, not my intention 🙊

[Lindsey14 in reply to gilded_masquerade]

They seem to have no end, and some things help a little, but it doesn'last long

[gilded_masquerade in reply to Lindsey14]

I find hobbies are one way of bringing me back to myself when I am feeling that way. It makes me focus on what I'm doing rather than how I'm feeling.

Maybe you just need to find a hobby that will keep you pretty busy?

Dissociation is certainly a more tricky aspect to overcome but can be done, even if it just starts out as ensuring it doesn't happen as frequently

[Lindsey14 in reply to gilded_masquerade]

Do you think i can stop it?

[gilded_masquerade in reply to Lindsey14]

Of course, it may take some time and practice but I most certainly think you can.

As I said, even if it starts by just making it happen less often it's a good step in overcoming it. You got this, and even if you stumble we're here to help in anyway we can
