Mind is detached from body wtf is going on

Mind is seperate from body, big time. I'm watching myself doing things wtf is going on? My voice seems unusual. The world feels questionable. Makes me feel there is life after death like the soul lives on not the body.

Oh! this sounds like what I've had for a while on and off...

Depersonalization/derealization disorder is a type of dissociative disorder that consists of persistent or recurrent feelings of being detached (dissociated) from one’s body or mental processes, usually with a feeling of being an outside observer of one’s life (depersonalization), or of being detached from one's surroundings (derealization). The disorder is often triggered by severe stress. Diagnosis is based on symptoms after other possible causes are ruled out. Treatment consists of psychotherapy plus drug therapy for any comorbid depression and/or anxiety. Meds, and therapy helped for me.😏

Sounds like dissociation or something like that, I've experienced that before when I've been extremely depressed. Yeah it can feel surreal and strange and even dangerous/scary, but in my experience it goes away after a while or else you get used to it. It happened to me a lot in high school--it felt like I was watching someone else's life through a screen or something, like I wasn't fully a part of it. It still happens from time to time, but I've gotten used to it. For me, it's just something I've learned to accept and allow to happen, but I'm sure there are better ways of coping with it that I'm not aware of. Just know you're not alone in this feeling.
