Lately I’ve stopped recognising myself in the mirror.
I think to myself, who is this person staring back at me? I’ve never seen those features before?
Why is that?
Am I becoming delusional? Is it a hallucination? I know it’s my face, but it doesn’t feel like it’s my face.
Does it make sense?
I have had less sleep than normal this week, but I’m otherwise fine.
Does anyone else have this?
It’s depersonalisation. Not a delusion at all. I had this for a long time. It’s typically a response to anxiety
Yeah, I have similar problems every now and then. I don’t recognize myself. Sometimes it’s fun trying to put a face to the name though. And sometimes I like what I see and this may sound conceited but I like looking myself in the eye and acknowledging all the good things I’ve done and the times I’ve won. I may play dumb too much or wear a mask or play games so at least when I recognize my positive attributes it makes me like myself more on a different, good level.
I used to fear myself when unmedicated. I look at myself in the mirror and get scared.
When Alien spoke to me or tried to take over my mind or I was severely depressed, I was too scared to look in the mirror because then I’d see Alien’s monster face. Still is like that. When I’m ok then it’s fine because I see me not Alien
