Try mindfulness it helps. I did it today and I feel pretty good. I’m more engaged in my surroundings. I’m more present

What do you mean my mindfulness? Meditation?

@random_person Yeah it’s like meditation. It claims to improve your brain in away to be engaged in the present. And it’s only 6 minutes. I’m not saying it’s going to cure you or anything but it definitely helps. They say you can see improvement if you do it consistently

Sounds like dissociation. Unfortunately I’ve been realizing that I struggle with this quite a bit as well :/

@random_person Overall, I feel super disconnected from where I am and what I’m doing; it’s hard to describe since it’s my “normal.” I’m on autopilot a lot of the time. I feel like I can’t catch my breath or fully take in an experience. I may be present in a space, but mentally I’m not “there.” I get tunnel vision and turn inward into my own thoughts. I feel like time is moving slowly for me but I can’t keep up with others. I can’t process things as quickly as others. I often have to have people repeat what they said or rewind a show to catch exactly what they were saying because I zone out. I’m disconnected from my emotions. I can’t decipher what I want a lot of the time even if it’s just deciding what I want my day to look like. I’m very numbed out. I don’t have an official diagnosis, but this is definitely something that I’ll be bringing up to my therapist. There’s something called dissociative depression, and I can relate to some of those symptoms.

@loveisanopendoor I totally understand that. I'm pretty that in this stage right now. It's like I'm watching myself from a 3rd person view. Ocd makes it even worse when I start doubting my own existence. I have figured out that it start getting bad when my anxiety is very high.

Ride it out unfortunately, if you sense a panic attack building up. Just know that you wont die. And most importantly Do Deep Breathing and try to calm yourself down

I feel like I’m losing my mind
Idk how to caption it other than that. My whole life I’ve had an issue with memory hoarding and the upside has been that I have a really vivid memories of my childhood and I get to remember my best days, the main downside has always been I have a lot of childhood trauma too and I remember every detail meticulously like I can relive and reanalyze them which has caused issues in my healing. However as much pain as it is to remember bad things so well it’s always been a bit of a comfort bc at least I know for sure even if other people don’t know or don’t believe. But as of lately I I’ve been forgetting things, whether it’s what time I’m supposed to work (and I have compulsions when checking my work schedule bc I’m always scared of reading it wrong so I usually open it up read it close it and open it up again 2-3 times so I usually KNOW) or what day it is, or just small things that I don’t remember saying or doing that other people swear on. I just have always felt like I know at the very least I know and lately I don’t and I’m so scared of going crazy and losing myself like literally my biggest fear. So I hate this. Today is Friday I was convinced yesterday was Friday and I woke up today for my Saturday shift completely convinced today was Saturday. I hate being wrong and making those small mistakes because it’s terrifying to think about what else I’m remembering wrong, or what else do I not “know” that isn’t actually the truth? I’m just so scared of losing myself mind. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?
