Feeling Disconnected
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi all, this is really hard for me to post. It's an embarrassing issue that I haven't talked with many about. I just want to know that I'm not alone and that I'm not going crazy. I've been feeling disconnected from things lately, not sure if it's depression because it's getting closer to winter and I'm also under a lot of stress. I keep questioning if I'm really understanding words and what people are saying. Like what if I just all of a sudden forget my language?? I speak but it's like how do I know how to responded? Deep down I know I comprehend things and words, but I keep second guessing myself. Its driving me crazy, I feel like I'm insane and will go dumb one day and can't function.

Sounds like anxiety and perhaps even mild depression, Kelly. Have you seen a therapist or talked with a doctor? There are ways for you to get better. You shouldn't have to live in this brain fog.

You should look up Depersonalization / Derealization it might add up to what you feel. It's what I go through too

I used to have a list of WHAT IF's. OMG a loooong list 😅 There is nothing to be embarrassed about feelings, we all get them. Some seems unreasonable, but real at the same time. I don't know what it is called but I get like that too when I am overly stressed, when I am in places that bring me discomfort, like new experiences or triggers of things scary that happened to me in the past.
Does something trigger you when you feel like this? When do these thoughts come? I carry a journal with me every where I go and write this stuff down and then take it to my therapist. She always seems to know what to say so I can work it out in my head.
Hope these intrusive thoughts go away for you, life is too short to worry about things that likely will never happen.
