  • I'm a guy so I can't help you there. I think you do need to see a professional, like a psychologist so you can at least pin down what's going on. I would really avoid pills of any kind, but that is your decision ultimately. I experienced derealization, detachment, stopped really feeling anything about my pets, everything was foggy, looked in the mirror, and knew I was there, but it was almost like it was another person. If that is happening to you, it does go away. Please let me know if this is in fact happening. Have a blessed day.

    • I really don't know what's happening, I'm not sure I feel most emotions, I sometimes feel psychosomatic anxiety or so I think. I feel I get too easily distracted and not interested in people or my surroundings sometimes.
      I like alcohol effect, but can you tell me more about your feelings? did you felted glad and then it changed and just didn't know what you are/were feeling?

      • I felt like I was losing touch with the world. I had dropped out of school and entered a long isolation, and then lost my father. It kind of was in the background of my life, but still bothered me. It felt so wrong, so unreal. I would go days without talking to anyone until my Mom came home, my friends felt like I wasn't there. But what I found did help, was focusing on other people. Just trying to make connections. I believe that's what truly helped me. I guess my advice would, and I don't think it could hurt, but if you feel you are too distracted, try, even if you don't feel lead to, try and focus on people. By that I mean, be thoughtful about people, what can you do to help them. If you are disconnected, re-engage. It wont be easy at first, but I didn't even understand humanity until I felt like I lost it.

          • All of those things. My social skills went down the drain, so basically a general feeling of disconnection. Like missing social cues. It's pretty foggy, and I just remember the worst of it.

            Something I want you to avoid is thinking something is wrong with you, diagnosing yourself. It's unsafe. Psychiatric conditions are all over the place, and I think you would benefit better from understanding your emotions. Maybe you are dwelling on your condition a bit too much.

            How good is your spoken english? I have Skype, and I feel like we could understand eachother better if we were actually talking.

            • My language in general is pretty shitty haha, when I'm in that condition, but in general I think I manage it well.
              But yes, I'm done with trying to figure out what's wrong, I'm feeling better, thank god, and returning from holidays I'll go with my psychologist.
              Skype would be cool though :D
