does anyone else feel this…..

When I look myself in the mirror like I don’t recognize the person looking back at me. Or I question myself how I’m talking or walking. It feels like I’m floating, like Im watching someone else life. Everything feels too real if that makes sense.

This may be dissociation.

When I've had severe panic attacks I do feel like I'm not in my body. I've described it just that way to my team.

I know where I am etc, so my my mind is clear.

I've never hear anyone else say it this way.

I've felt that way more times than I like to count. Kinda almost like your stuck on auto pilot, not really sure what the hell you're doing but you're doing like any other day. All this mental crap thats goin on in my head makes me feel like I'm not looking at anything in the mirror, except an empty shell of what I use to be. So no you're not alone in feeling that way. But hang in tight. Our day will come where we get a win.
