I know sometimes children can feel the same. Discotiation is common with mental illness. Also medications can have these side effects. People and their voices can sound far away.

The only way that can help, I know is have a glass of water the act of gulping seems to clear the effect.

If you feel unsettled talk to your GP

Hi there,

BOB's reply is good, these feelings can be related to a number of things such as medication, alcohol, various MH problems. Here is a link to the UK charity Mind about Dissociative Disorders which will give you more food for thought:
