Hello. How are you?
I feel like my body is not connected to me. It feels like my arms and legs are not part with my mind. They feel detached from the spirit or whatever it is that’s living in me. It feels like they are someone’s else’s.
Do you ever have this problem?
Yes I do with my tardive dyskinesia. I’ll tell myself one thing and my body misfires. I was trying to use a stick lighter yesterday and couldn’t work it…I was so embarrassed and then my hands started shaking. And my body and brain feel so much older than I think they should fee. All bs in life just has me weak. But even though I feel weak, when I need to workout I can zone out into a whole different world. It’s my escape from my mind and body and can just feel free. But honestly I’ve been trying to accept myself because I’ve been able to think clearer and I’ve wasted a ton of my life a dysfunctional self destructive paranoid tornado. I don’t know who I am or what I want to do or be. My body wants to join a running club but my mind knows I could have a meltdown. I just am putting too much pressure on myself and keep foolishly thinking I’m not sick…
sometimes yes I do feel disconnected from my body. Also sometimes I feel as though I’m just slightly out, like just a few inches out of the top of my head and I’m clumsy because of it. I feel parts of my body going numb too. I think sometimes it all gets to be too much and I just dissociate to get away from the bad feelings.
I just went to the gym today. I did cycling there.
At the moment i feel like my body is my infant.
I’m not connected this body feels like mine but I don’t think it is I’m not here all the time I don’t know
Sounds like
Because I do yoga everyday and because I meditate twice a day, everyday, my mind feels connected to my body.
As a child I may not of been in my body but saw my spirit in other people’s bodies.
It was survival for me as I had apathy etc.
I did not know it was me but now I know that I was in their bodies.
But as a adult I realised that others were in my body steering me maliciously and some of them hated me and steered me into mischief and made me a sl## and raped too…
I sometimes slapped my face really hard and hit myself telling them to leave my body.
I did not feel like myself but years later I did and sometimes now I feel like myself more often which is good and I love myself and I love some that are in my body sometimes but so intense I cannot cope with it always but …
I feel myself more now.
I was doing yoga only five minutes every day for a few weeks but my boyfriend said it disturbs him when I do yoga early in the bathroom.
He wants me to be next to him when he wakes up so I hope to do yoga in the evening instead.
Sometimes I don’t but it’s rare. . Usually I feel fine. I feel most connected when I’m in nature.
I rarely ever feel like ME anymore. Like theres a missing link between whats going on with me and whats actually going on. My body is just a rental. I know my mind is in there but I can’t tell if I’M in there. Its hard to describe.
I like your profile image. Its soothing to look at. Im ok. I don’t think i’ll sleep for a while its one of those nights. How are u? But meditation sometimes helps me with depersonalization. I just sit in a dark room and sit there. Also drinking water weirdly helps. I find being hydrated helps me feel more “normal.” But i don’t think i’ll ever feel as in my body since before the depression. I do have those flow states where everything feels in line between my “ghost” and my “shell.”
