I feel really weird...?

Question

I'm NOT on drugs, first of all.

Now I feel like I'm losing touch with reality. I feel like we're all just in this body, right? And it's impossible to truly connect with anyone with just words and actions.
I also sometimes feel like nothing else exists, and I don't exist, and it's just empty space, and I can't even explain why...
And then sometimes I feel like everything is in slow motion, and everything goes blurry and I just need to sit down, you know? I can't comprehend anything anyone is saying.
Then, last night, for some reason, I felt like something was dripping constantly on me... like I remember thinking clearly in my mind, "it's blood... blood that's dripping on me." but at the same time I just knew it wasn't real... ugh. I can't explain it. It was like my mind was thinking on it's own.

I will go see someone, but I just want to know what you guys think. Thanks..

Answer 1

I know you said that you will go see someone but I just want to be clear that nothing that anybody on here says is really valid. we a re all just random people on the internet and while it's important to talk this stuff out, you need to see a professional.



It sounds like these sensations are a sort of loss of contact with reality. I am not a mental health professional but to me it sounds like you are not completely in control of your thoughts, and it's good that you are able to realize that something you are thinking is not reality (IE; that blood wasn't actually dripping on you and it was just in your mind) but this indicates that something is slightly off and could continue to worsen to the point where perhaps you won't have as clear a voice in your head saying "that's not real".

In my opinion (again, not a professional) you should listen clearly to the part of yourself that tells you to be skeptical, that tells you to ask for proof of what you are thinking. For example, if the blood thing were to happen again, first take control of your thoughts, analyze the situation and consider why the thing you are thinking is highly unlikely and then finally once you have contol of your mind, just turn on the light and look and you'll see that you're right.

Answer 2

It could be an form of bipolar disorder or something similar to that if you're hallucinating often. The question to ask yourself about these is, are you aware of the hallucinations or just can't make them stop, or do you think it's real life and you're utterly convinced? Determining HOW you're hallucinating is helpful, as crazy as that sounds.

As far as the slow motion and spacing out, that could be something else more explainable. Are you stressed about something? Have you had any major change in your life? Hormonal problems or imbalances? It could be anything, since it doesn't sound like any specific mental disorder.

If it's really bugging you, go see a psychiatrist about it, or get someone else to talk to, because maybe that's all you need.

Answer 3

hi sophie,

it doesnt have to be drugs it can be caused by lots of things.

the mental bi polar is too often thrown at people too quickly, it may not be that.

you can have reactions to food..

reactions to a situation.

a reaction to certain peoples conduct.



when we get upset and start thinking of bad things, we distance ourselfs from the world as a coping skill.

that distance can make things not seem real.

trauma can do that also, make you want to shut off from the world.



think of the things that make you feel bad.....why should you.

unless you are going to study them so you can turn it around in your head and make them possitives.

stop and think of the things that make you feel good!!

thats a nicer feeling.

try and hold on to that its better for you.

dont tell people nice things that help you cope incase they sully it and make it no longer a safe place for you to visit in your head when everything is getting bad.

when you are upset you will alter the way you breath. do you actually hold your breath as the thoughts grip you.

when you hold your breath and then start breathing again this will give you a rush and you will feel faint. if you stand up at this stage you will get dizzy.



some of us are blessed with an imagination, sometimes it inpinges on our sences. we will make great writers as we feel the words as we create them. sometimes if you get into a moment of creativity it is hard to distinguish between real and imagination if you dont hold control of yourself. this is how you would be able to write something as if you were there or if you were someone else.



it can be a blessing or a curse unless you can sit down and channel it.



finding someone who can mentor your tallents of creativity.



you may not be halusinating and just may have a vivid imagination.

bad experiences are the source of great writing.

to be where other havent can also be the source of lack of understanding and ridicule.



to deal with these events and then turn them into skills, which could get you a good carreer has to be two fingers at anyone who is just having a laugh at your expence.

they can all be forgotten as where will they be in the future.

still laughing?



sounds like you are coping with stress in the only way you can.



i write this as it may help you.

its what works for me.



only hang with those who big you up,

those who dont

will take away from you making you feel low and insecure.

and make you more likely to feel this way.

Answer 4

Ignore that illiterate ape in the first answer. I don't think its weird at all, I feel the same way and I'm 19. The only best friend I have is my boyfriend and it took a long time for us to be where we are.. don't worry, girls are stupid. Just be glad you have more than one, cuz I have like.. 3 good girl friends. hah i dont even call them best friends either.

Answer 5

I had a weird experience like that last week and that got me thinking a lot too. I wouldn't worry about though because words and actions don't mean a lot; the true language people communicate through are feelings and that's what's real in this world.

Answer 6

i wish i could hang out with you.
