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

please help, feeling trapped between two realities
Hi everyone, I haven’t posted in a while—about 6 months—but I’m really struggling and need some help or advice. I thought I had healed from all of this, or at least I was doing so much better. I have never felt this before but it feels like I’m slipping back into something I can’t control. Right now, it feels like I’m stuck in a bad reality. It’s like I’m trapped with my dad in one reality, and I’m trying to get back to the other where I’m with my family, but I can’t. It’s so hard to explain, but everything around me feels unreal, and my mind keeps telling me I’m stuck. It feels so real, and I don’t know how to get out of it. It’s like I’ve been transported to another world, and I can’t break free. nd now I’m scared I’ll never come back to the “good” reality I had before. and I genuinely believe this. I’ve been struggling with these thoughts about spiritual realms, the devil, and spiritual warfare. My dad has always talked about these things, and he’s gone through psychosis before. He’s also had a history of doing a lot of drugs, and now I’m terrified that I might end up like him. I fear that I’m somehow becoming like him, trapped in that same mental space he’s been in. He talks about spiritual stuff that scares me, and I can’t shake the thought that I might be losing myself the same way he did. I know this might sound weird, but I feel like I’m getting closer to that line, and I don’t know how to stop it. I keep feeling like I’ll never come back to the way things were, like I’ll always be stuck in this distorted reality. I’m afraid of losing myself, especially in my faith. I believe in God, but my thoughts and fears about all of this are making it hard to feel connected to Him. I feel so distant from God right now, and it’s hard to see how this can change. Has anyone else experienced something like this—feeling like you’re trapped between realities, afraid of becoming someone you don’t want to be, or struggling with fears like this? How did you cope? I just need some hope that I can get through this and come back to a better place. I’m scared, and I feel like I can’t escape this. Any advice would really mean a lot right now.
