5 years ago i attempted suicide and when i was unconscious i remember getting up and walking to the ambulance bed(across my house). Ever since then my physical body sometimes feels like a robot and my mind goes off but I could still see everything going on. When my mind comes back it feels like the time my mind went off didn't exist. Almost like I'm skipping through time. Is this normal?

    Are you possessed by demons?

    Do you remember what happened, or blackout? You said you can still see which makes me think you remember what happened.
    I have had similar experiences, but don't know if they were the same or not.
    A few times this happened did not go well.
    One time I was in the shower and felt my mind was being controlled and I started pushing my fingers into my eyes really hard. It resulted with my having a seizure which later the doctor explained was induced by me hitting the vagus nerve behind my eye.
    During the seizure I saw my cat staring at me and believed the cat was controlling my mind and causing the seizure.

      It's not the same thing. It feels like im day dreaming my body is automatically functioning normally. When it's over I vaguely remember what happened.
