This is what depersonalisation feels like

[NuclearBrainReturns]

This is an accurate description of what depersonalisation feels like. Incase it happens to you so you know what to look out for. Thr world is about to get even worse and so you might end up like this as a coping strategy.

Depersonalisation to me felt as if I were a little man looking out of thr eyes of a gigantic flesh robot. Eating and drinking felt wrong and strange and separate from ‘me’. My body would refuel itself by eating but it wasn’t me eating the food. I was just pulling the levers to raise my arm up with a fork to my mouth and mechanically chewing and swallowing.

That feeling of being a little man trapped inside the skull of a large flesh robot is very frightening though. What grounded me was realising ‘I’ was in control of my flesh robot and that for the moment, I and my body are one and the same.

Keep that in mind in case you encounter that feeling.

I did this for almost two years while I focused on studying. It's really weird because looking back on it, it hardly feels like I'm the one who put all of the effort into learning. It all felt very effortless but also devoid of any good or bad emotion.

It seems like it could be a good thing in some situations, like a stressful or dangerous situation you can not think and just do and your not in the moment which spares you feeling like everythings real,

it might be good in combat or in natural disaster or car crash etc

Don't you actually develop depersonalisation from traumatic events as a coping strategy

Yeah its a mechanism your body uses to detach your soul from your physical capsule. Though it isnt always traumatic, people that take heroin also experience the same thing.

If I was then I was drugged out and don't remember it.

Don't have any hemorrhoids so the answer is probably no lol

You should try dxm, it's not frightening though because you're sedated and numb...

It's a coping mechanism of your BRAIN to protect itself from stress and all the downstream effects that can be caused, in most cases.

I used to feel this when I was 16. I grew over it. Grow a pair and improve looks.

You recovered or just cooed with it ?

 

[RAITEIII]

You recovered or just cooed with it ?

Certainly.

In my case this symptom arouse out of heavily stressful situations that I was unable to handle.

If you deal with this, I suggest analysing what's going on. If you get yourself to a point in which you mentally know you're highly capable, then it might lessen or go away. I don't have experience with genetically developed despersonalization, I could not speak of it.

So you still feel as if you’re in a dream?

Also was it episodic or 24/7?


Mine came after smoking weed for the first time and it never ended since a year

No I don't. It was episodic.

I would not be able to predict exactly what's happened to you. Permanent despersonalization after smoking weed? I'd check the neurological pathways involving weed and how they relate to neurological pathways involved in despersonalization and tackle this. But I am confused as to why it would leave you in a permanent state... perhaps there might be other factors.
