I don’t know exactly how to describe it but something happened to my psyche between the age of 18-20 that has just caused me to lose any sense of grounding in my immediate reality

Like nothing really feels real. I’m not a schizo, I’m not hallucinating or anything. But the world just doesn’t feel real. My thought processes feel weird. My life doesn’t feel like mine

I’ve also had a couple of incidents which I could only really describe as semi-psychotic episodes. Mainly off of stims (but sometimes not) after not sleeping for a while. Periods where I suddenly became very invested in strange things that feel stupid in hindsight.

Like recently I became fascinated with buddhism for a couple of days and felt euphoric thinking I’d found the answer to my problems and then the next day the spell just wore off and it sounded ridiculous.

Another time I had some odd theories about the nature of consciousness and wrote a couple of extremely long and elaborate threads here on my old acc at like 5am instead of sleeping a few days before a crucial exam

It feels like my life just doesn’t make sense any more. And I don’t know if I can ever get back that sense of normalcy, of order. And I think its only getting worse. Hope I’m not a full blown schizo by 25..

Are you still? How did you get out of it
I feel like I’ve been variably sane for like 2 years at least although particularly bad since april

It gets better when I’m less isolated
I was somewhat isolated cramming for exams april-may and late june-july i’ve been at home away from my friends so I’m sure that doesn’t help

Yes what happened is i started going outside. Before i couldnt regulate my emotions. No matter how much i slept my eyelids felt like i was prying them open and i would have a bunch of panic attacks. I just started going to the gym again and taking walks

Yeah when I started taking ashwagandha it all changed… I became a uncontrolable monster with a body made of steel and a mind constantly corroding…

I have completely fucking lost it and my descent into madness is probably apparent throughout my post history

I’ve been gymcelling but thats all I really have over here
Maybe the boredom is killing me
Outside here is just grey, just cars and dirty roads and ethnics
But I’m moving out again on Sunday and the place I study at is very naturally beautiful so that may help
