Q&A with Australian Health Practitioners
Why do I feel so disconnected from the world?
Related Topics
For the past six years of my life I've felt disconnected from the world but until recently it hasn't felt very severe.
Recently I've felt as if I didn't belong in my own body. When I looked in the mirror it felt like a lie because it wasn't how I saw myself in my head. If I was remembering something I always remembered it as if I were watching myself as an on-looker and not as if I was actually experiencing it. I constantly talk to myself in third person out loud and inside my head and even feel as though I'm having conversations with myself.
The worst feeling I've had recently about it was the weird urge to actually cut off my face to see what was underneath, as if it might clarify the fact that this is my actual body and not somebody else's.
These feelings are becoming very disruptive for my confidence because I don't feel like I can talk to people about them in case they call me ‘crazy’ or ‘insane’ or say that I'm seeking attention.
Help would be greatly appreciated! -
