I have not had an attack for a few weeks now….yay. But I seem to just, I do not know float around.
I feel entirely disconnected from my body , and in a weird way feel like I am just watching myself go through the motions of living….but not really enjoying. Kind of like my body does not belong to me. Does anyone else feel like this?
Always disconnected

I feel as though most of the time I am just going through the motions, kind of like a zombie, you can read my profile. This is my 3rd breakdown and I think it is just because we are not totally at peace with ourselves yet(I was in a bit of shock at first to have another breakdown). At least that is what I think. I feel nervous and scared most of the time, and am working at breaking the "bad" thoughts and replacing them. It takes work. This is only my 5th day. Yes, I feel "spacey", I'm here, but I feel a little detatched. We must stay motivated and do our homework and work and if you are religious, I am, PRAY, PRAY, PRAY. The Bible says "I can do ALL things through Christ which strengthenth me". God doesn't lie, the Bible doesn't lie. His promises are forever. I view my situation kind of like I have a bad habit and God will give me the strength to make the changes I need to make and give me the strength to do it, since I have asked believing for his help with this. That is a comfort. But even knowing this, if you read my profile, you will see how confusing of a year I have been having and had 12 years ago. This program feels right, it is logical, it is organized (I am ocd so I like the scheduling! Also why it is hard for me to break a bad habit when I am in "negative thought mode"). I pray for us all every night. WE WILL SURVIVE AND BE HAPPY AND AT PEACE WITH OURSELVES! We deserve it.
I feel like I'm not really alive somehow detached from my body and emotions. about 6 months I started realized something was going on with me, I was at a party with friends when I guess you can say panic struck me all of a sudden I felt hopeless, lost, insecure, and the biggest one was that I was going INSANE. Im sure my brain switched to protect mode when this happened ever since that breakdown I have been uneasy not feeling like myself. I've been working on this program for 3 weeks now and it is making a big difference in my life, it is hard work and we must not give up like Hopeful in WV says, keep supporting each other and yourself and we will come out on top.
I feel like somehow my life is not how it use to be, if I could even begin to feel good this program will do that.

Good Morning All,
i think I felt similar ( detatched mentally from my Body and the world ) when I was taking my AD's. I remember feeling like a zombie much of the time. I could sit and stare into thin air for hours, not really connected to even the tv. It was on but I couldn't tell you what a show was about. I was just lost somehow.
I've been off my meds almost 3 months givr or take a week or so and am better but can still tune everything out and just lose myself as though almost too relaxed at times yet my mind is playing in the background, hard to explain the feeling to myself never mind write it down to tell others how it feels.
I wonder if it's our brains way of just stopping us from being too aware of stressers??
Any thoughts on that??
I know I am doing sooooo much better now in many ways and also know I have a lot of work to do still. This program has been a real Godsend for me and am so thankfull to have it.
I have really enjoyed learning about myself and how really messed up I was..YIKES, LOL and wonder how much better I will feel by the time I complete it.
Just wish everyone better health, less stress, and many days of true joy.
God Bless and stay focused with the program, we will soon be beautifull butterflies.

I have those detached times myself. Sometimes I would be looking around and although i knew what everything was it was as though I couldnt connect with any of it. Other times I would feel as though the part of me was trapped in this thing that was body, as though my own body had become my prison. Not a great way to feel. Fortunately I havent had that feeling in a little while. I think it is some weird thing our brain does to try and protect us.

ALL of the time.
although, for the past couple of weeks my head has been clearing more.
you are not alone in this.
i call it "stress head". my body feels fine, but my head feels cloudy and really run down and tired (all of that worrying must be ALOT of work

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

"How you climb up the mountain is just as important as how you get down the mountain. And, so it is with life, which for many of us becomes one big test followed by one big lesson. In the end, it all comes down to one word: grace. It's how you accept winning and losing, good luck and bad luck, darkness and the light."

oh, and i have noticed- i should just start all of my posts stating this- but exercise (particularly AEROBIC) seems to alleviate my cloudy head.
i would imagine that it has something to do with bringing more oxygenated air into the brain, but after about a 30 minute jog i am usually clear/ clearer for about 6 hours afterwards.
