I havent felt like myself for long time. I feel like im a stranger to myself, im foggy and just don't have a sense of self. I want to be me again, im scared ill be like this forever.

Far as the distant thing goes...I'm distant to my friends, family,myself, and the things I used to enjoy doing. I hate being distant, but I keep doing it......I just am so tried of being this way....I want to be normal like I used to be. 😞

I feel exactly the same as you do. My mind is in a constant fog and I just can't think straight. I don't want to face anyone, yet I feel so lonely. Are you taking any medication or having any kind of therapy? I do hope you can find relief from these awful symptoms real soon. I am also feeling distant from my family as they just do not understand it, one of my relatives said I was s hypochondriac which hurt me so much!

I'm so sorry for how you feel. Thank you so much for commenting❤

Hi...I'm so sorry you're so down in the dumps...I can relate as I was like this at one point in time...actually for many years....now is the time to force the positive thoughts into your mind...it will breed more positive for you...as the negative ones will breed more also...get them nasty thoughts out and replace with some positive ones, okay? I know it's a huge challenge to do but it's so worth it..where's your happy place? Take your mind to it...enjoy it there...I'm here for you if you need a smile...

Dump trucks of love, peace, light, joy n hugs for you!!!

Oh I see! Maybe you are just changing. Finding yourself. You feel foggy and withdrawn because you are over thinking! You are too much in your head! Stop thinking and start doing. If you think you want to be closer to your family, rather than sitting there feeling bad about it,

Pick up the phone, make a plan and do something about it!

I'm serious!

Get out of your head and make some plans. Try new things! Go out and be social! You will feel so much better!!!!

Not what you're looking for?
