I often find myself dozing off. I just don't "feel" my feelings. It's like I'm numb. I don't really care about stuff either. I can say things that I know are wrong and still not be fazed.
There are days and days, I would say these kind of days are about 2 in a week or so. Is it normal to feel this way sometimes?
Its called depersonalization or derealization. It's not normal outside of IIN. Try telling someone you feel like you're walking in a dream. They'll either think you're high or crazy.
It can come on randomly or when you're under stress. It's pretty harmless and usually goes away on it's own... unless you have it chronically, in which case it can be torturous feeling so disconnected from the world. Now that you know what it's called, you can search for more info.
For me, I think it has something to do with lighting.
If it's brightly lit, like in a doctor's office, stage, or classroom with all the lights on, I feel so weird.
Sometimes, I feel like I am watching a movie. You know how sometimes you get really into a movie and you feel like you are in it? Sometimes, for only a minute or so, I feel that way that once the movie ends, you are like, oh...I was watching a movie...and it snaps you back into reality....I don't know...it's hard to explain...
Life can sometimes feel like a big dream. Then when we rest, we have "smaller" dreams. I think it's natural to a certain extent.
Are you working?
Are you in school?
Do you have any particular hobbies or interest?
When something exciting happens to me, i get numb to. Like tonight i went bowling with friends. I just BLURRED for the whole game, and just got pins and pins and pins, and said random crap and didn't care. It was like..... i was riding a rollercoaster. It goes by so fast. Yes, this is normal. Happens to me all the time.
