Am I losing it?

This is a weird question, but does anyone else know what this is? Here is an example. If I snow plow the driveway and get in the car right after, I'll feel like I should still be doing the motions with my car as if my car is the snow blower? Is this mirror neuron activity? Similar situations have happened since working from home. So if I look at pictures of a room for example, I'll feel like I am in the room after looking away. Am I losing it? Is this just from working from home for too long?

I don’t know what the answer is, and I’ve never had that happen (at least I don’t think so) but I would guess it comes from stress. So let’s say you are so stressed that your mind is very distracted, so that when you move from one task to the next, there is a delay in the adjustment of your brain to the new setting. That is assuming that this delay is just momentary. And again, you say that this has just happened since working from home, so there must be a connection.

We live in our minds. Even though you look away or close your eyes the mental picture of what you last saw can stay in the forefront of your mind. Bring up any old memory and you can still see it.
