Depersonalization (disorder)
Feelings: I want to feel things like everyone else again, but I‘m deadened and numb. I can laugh or cry but it‘s intellectual, my muscles move but I feel nothing.
Body: I feel like I‘m not here, I‘m floating around. A separate part of me is aware of all my movements; it‘s like I‘ve left my body. Even when I‘m talking I don‘t feel like it is my words.
Mind: My mind and my body are somehow not connected, it‘s like my body is doing one thing and my mind is saying another. Like my mind is somewhere off to the back, not inside my body.
Vision: It‘s like glass over my eyes, a visual fog totally flat and two-dimensional.
Agency (feeling in control of one‘s actions): I feel I‘m not really here, I‘m distant. I‘m going through the motions like a robot.
SAME JESUS CHRIST
it’s getting hot again, so this is your reminder to be respectful of others and not to stare at self harm scars or any other “flaws”
…pls don’t look I will di
that dissociation feel when your eyes unfocus, everything goes fuzzy and every sound your hear is muffled, distorted and changing frequencies and you don’t even know if you’re real anymore
Literally I was talking about this the other day.
Dissociative culture is saying something then 0.1 seconds later completely forgetting you said anything.
