Is it normal to feel like your body isn't under your control?

Sometimes I have the feeling like my mind is thinking and like there is a difference when my mind speaks and when my mind thinks. I feel like another person and I don't like it. I sometimes of sitting in front of mirror and staring at myself and then I need a minute to get back to my normal mood and thoughts like sometimes when I'm with friends I feel like I just came into this body and I don't know how would I react on some things.I have already visited a therapist but I haven't told her this bcs I didn't thought it matters she gave me a test and i seem to have a lot of anger inside.

    Minds constantly generate irrational thoughts. There are too many other things in the world than waste the day attempting to use this irrational tool to rationalize its own irrationality. Create a schedule and do things. Also even small amounts of exercise will help.

    Not trying to undermine your struggles but at the same time I totally am as that is the only way they go away.

    You are focused on the mind but truly it is other things you need.

    I get a hard on all the time and seem to have little or no control over that either.

    Read this comment in a safe place to release anger. You feel this way because you are imagining that you are not yourself.

    It sounds like depersonalization. You can look into it more, but to sum it up: It is harmless, it is a symptom and being caused by something else such as stress or lack of sleep, and it happens to everyone sometimes.

    It has probably happened to you before and you didn't pay it any mind. The difference is now you are aware of it happening and it is scary when you know it is happening. It's like the difference between looking away when someone gives you a shot or watching them stick you with it. If it bothers you, it's best to talk to a therapist, which you are already doing, so you are already on the right path.

    If you are ever worried about your well being, always talk to a professional.

    Tell your therapist about what you're experiencing.
