Is it normal to feel like i’m living in a videogame?
For the past 2-3 years, I’ve consistently felt 24/7 like I’m living in a dream or a videogame or like I’m watching myself through a screen. I feel like I’m disconnected from my body and from the world. I don’t really recognize myself in the mirror, and I don’t feel like I love or even know the people I’m supposed to, even though before I started to feel this way I was perfectly capable of love. For example, if I’m talking to my mother (who I have always had a great relationship with), I logically know that’s my mother, but it doesn’t feel like it and I don’t really recognize her that much and she seems like a stranger to me. It’s the same for all of my friends and other family members. The logical connection is there, but other than that, I feel like I am completely detached from reality. It feels like my actions have no immediate consequences. Like I could throw a rock through a window and it would just regenerate or go right through it like a ghost. It’s becoming extremely difficult to form new relationships with people, go into public places (without getting confused about who I am and where I am, even though I logically am aware, it doesn’t feel like it), or function in life.
