Does anyone know? I struggle a lot with feeling out of my body and mind, as if someone else takes over my body. It leads to anxiety attacks when it happens to me. Is it part of the sz/sza experience?

Maybe it’s derealization/depersonalization. I have it too
Yes, sometimes. I think it could be from trauma too. I notice talking about my problems helps me but I’m really disabled because of it. I had extremely bad dissociation. I felt like I was stuck in my head. I could not feel anything like I wasn’t real or the world wasn’t real. I could only see in 2 dimensions pretty much, like my vision was extremely distorted. Dolly zoom, no depth perception etc.
Now I’m like 98% cured. Now I have paranoia though. I think if I was off meds, I would be aggressive due to sz.
Me too.
I used to slap my face and scream trying to make them leave my body.
I was not myself.
Destructive hateful ones were maliciously steering me or my body

I’m not sure if it is a part. But I have sza and I dissociate a lot. It’s my go to coping mechanism.

I think the psychosis aggravated it for me. At least for some time yea.

I dissociate frequently and I have sza. Like leaf, its my go to defense mechanism, especially when my paranoia gets really bad and I can’t handle it another second. Then I zone out and time passes without my realizing it.

What does dissociating mean?
It can be, yes. 12121212121212121
Well it’s not psychosis. You don’t lose touch of reality.
There’s different types. I had dp/dr. But mainly dr. It makes the world look unreal. DP is like the self is unreal. It could be viewed as a defense mechanism. Like out of body experiences, dolly zoom vision, lack of depth perception, colors are bland, no feelings/emotions, etc.

I had anxiety but i didnt think it was because someone is taking over my body. But subconciously i might have feel that. It was this kind of anxiety where you just wanna jump on a stranger passing by begging them to help you.
