ok heres the thing.
Since about last easter I've been feeling really spaced out, detatched from whats going on around me almost like im in some sort of cucoon :nervous:.
I can still function normally, talk, do stuff- just feel slightly spaced away from it. Iv talked to people and they've said im fine, nothing to worry about but the thing is it wont go away.
I think it must be a psychological thing. I dwell on it a bit which must have a negative effect. It just bothers me that its there and that I spend so much time thinking about it!!! I really cant think what its down to- dont do any drugs that much (only occasional use), not a heavy drinker, get normal sleeping hours etc... So whats wrong with me?
Sorry for sounding a bit melodramatic but it just bugs me thats all.
Thanks
Jon

sorry ive been no help.
I get that from time to time. Drug use might have something to do with it, you're not going insane although you may dwell on it alot and maybe even take the odd panic attack, you'll be alright. Just reassure yourself that you're not insane and those negative thoughts will be turned into positive one's.
DRUGS.
Doesn't mean you're insane, being a bit spaced isn't necessarily a big deal. if you stop doing drugs completely then it'll probably just pass, especially if it's just occasional.

yup, i get this quite a lot (it feels like i am watching myself do things, or that i am not controlling what i say or do, even though i can hear myself saying the right things, and i am doing what i want to). it can be pretty scary, but i've been told it's a normal and pretty common feature of anxiety and panic disorders.
the weird thing is that i get it more when i'm less anxious. maybe cause i'm not distracted i notice it more? not sure.
its pretty normal i guess depending on what is happening around you.
Thanks

It irritates the hell out of my boyfriend when we argue because i shut it out and dont give a shit, until im ready. Selfish but its not soemthing i can choose to do!!!!
I get that too. Sometimes I look in the mirror and my face changes into a different face :crazyeyes
Or is this case probably not drug related?
