It all began one stupid night when I decided to go to a friends house and get "stoned" for the first time, I'd experimented with Marijuana before and it had been a similar experience to being drunk, but this time it was different... I slipped out into this kind if numb bubble where all my senses dimmed down and I had the horrible feeling I was going to die, I woke in the morning in a daze and I've been like that permanently ever since. It's like looking at the world through a paid of thick glasses, I don't feel anything around me as I should and I don't seem to connect with anything as it doesn't seem realistic, when I think of Reality I just get really dizzy and feel like i'll pass out and then i think there is no reality and i'm not really here. Concentration is difficult too, as I feel as though I can't pinpoint my vision on anything/focus on anything and I'm just bluntly looking at everything as though it were looking through someone else's eyes. I'm only 16 and I've experienced these feelings constantly since I was 15 years old (It's been over a year now.) If anyone knows how I can slip back in to reality just to feel real again, add me on msn Fatal-Harmony@hotmail.com. - I can't keep living my life in this constant bubble, the thoughts I get scare me because Suicide seems like a viable option here. I seriously need help, and I don't know what to do... So if you think you know ANYTHING that can help, PLEASE add me on messenger. Hey, I too experience these symptoms.

I don't eat meat since couple of years and I don't recall feeling of unreality before that. A thing you can do I think is sport activities. Either stretching or running. Some physical activity, so that you feel yourself in your body. In any case, not thinking too much about this feeling because that doesn't help at all. A concentration on interests, on some activity can help I think. Good luck in coping with it. Bekka I was wondering if this feeling has anything to do with nutriment?

Then i had a panic attack..it was when i looked in my mirror and said to myself..how do i even know thats me. i go through life behind my own eyes and just looking at me in that mirror.i SAW me..or did i?..it scared me.i couldnt breathe..and well thats where the panic attack comes in. now life is passing me by..im not me anymore.not fun or involved.i dont see things the way i used to.nothing is real to me. i wanted to help everyone in the world and i never used to think about myself. now all i can do is think about myself.i dont even see people anymore the way i used to.their just..there. im stuck in a hole within my head not looking beyond it.im constantly worring, mainly about dying or being crazy.just looking at the world in black and white and nothing more.i feel alone..stuck in my dream state..stuck in my own head almost. like my body is doing what it needs to do but ME the real me is trapt.i talk but it feels like its not me talking.like my mind is not apart of me. how are these words coming out of my mouth? how did i just get from my kitchen to my palor? i move my fingers but is it me moving them?it seems like these hands dont even belong to me. im doing what i normally do but its not the same. the way i see things are from a distance almost.. others see my as 'normal'.. but i feel like im not.even if they tell me i am. i can relate to a little of what everyone has said and knowing im not alone..gives me hope. though it would be wonderful to meet someone like this in person..to talk to <333 im 18 years old and since i can remember ive always had the feeling of being..”different?” i guess you could say. i always asked myself why am i me and how do i know what i see thigns as is what you see them as.

recently ive thought deeper and deeper about it and began thinking i was crazy,that there was something mentally wrong with me.

now life is passing me by..im not me anymore.not fun or involved.i dont see things the way i used to.nothing is real to me.

i wanted to help everyone in the world and i never used to think about myself. now all i can do is think about myself.i dont even see people anymore the way i used to.their just..there.

im stuck in a hole within my head not looking beyond it.im constantly worring, mainly about dying or being crazy.just looking at the world in black and white and nothing more.i feel alone..stuck in my dream state..stuck in my own head almost. like my body is doing what it needs to do but ME the real me is trapt.i talk but it feels like its not me talking.like my mind is not apart of me.

how are these words coming out of my mouth?
how did i just get from my kitchen to my palor?
i move my fingers but is it me moving them?it seems like these hands dont even belong to me.
im doing what i normally do but its not the same. the way i see things are from a distance almost..
others see my as ‘normal’.. but i feel like im not.even if they tell me i am.
i can relate to a little of what everyone has said and knowing im not alone..gives me hope.
though it would be wonderful to meet someone like this in person..to talk to

I just continue to look at things, or people and think "They're not real, it's all made up", as if i'm living in the Matrix and I'm the only one who's realised. I've tried telling myself this is ridiculous and have since come home from uni (im 19 btw) for a few days to try and get my head together. It seems to be better when I'm around family etc as although i still get these thoughts every 20 minutes or so, i can brush them off. I am absolutely terrified however. Terrified that my bf will leave me because i cant control what i think anymore, terrified i wont pass my degree which funnily enough is in International Politics and Psychology, and generally feel v lonely. I've told my mum etc but theres not a lot more she can do other than try and reassure me as she has to work long hours of the day. Does anyone know how they can help me stop feeling like this? Hi;
