They’re trying to tell me that this place isn’t real. Or that at the very least I’m in the wrong place. Like this dimension I’m in is wrong. I look at the things and they look wrong. There isn’t actually anything wrong about them they just don’t look real. Words look especially weird. I feel like I’m trying to look at things through a haze or a fog except there is no fog. It just feels wrong.

Sometimes I look at things, like my computer which is right in front of me, and they look far away. Not that they look small they just feel far away.

Sometimes my hands look wrong. Especially when they move. I know their attached to me but they feel distant and disconnected. They almost feel sluggish. Like moving through syrup. They aren’t actually moving slower though. It’s confusing. Sometimes my head feels heavy and thinking gets hard. Like my head is stuffed with cotton candy. All fuzzy and my thoughts have to try to get through it.

Maybe a bit of derealization?
" Derealization symptoms
Symptoms of derealization include:
- Feelings of being alienated from or unfamiliar with your surroundings — for example, like you’re living in a movie or a dream
- Feeling emotionally disconnected from people you care about, as if you were separated by a glass wall
- Surroundings that appear distorted, blurry, colorless, two-dimensional or artificial, or a heightened awareness and clarity of your surroundings
- Distortions in perception of time, such as recent events feeling like distant past
- Distortions of distance and the size and shape of objects"

I feel like I’m gonna throw up but I know I’m not actually sick. I need to go to work
Could be depersonalization in that case. The two are kind of connected.
" Depersonalization symptoms
Symptoms of depersonalization include:
- Feelings that you’re an outside observer of your thoughts, feelings, your body or parts of your body — for example, as if you were floating in air above yourself
- Feeling like a robot or that you’re not in control of your speech or movements
- The sense that your body, legs or arms appear distorted, enlarged or shrunken, or that your head is wrapped in cotton
- Emotional or physical numbness of your senses or responses to the world around you
- A sense that your memories lack emotion, and that they may or may not be your own memories"

I don’t know it’s confusing. I don’t like it. I don’t like that everything feels wrong, sometimes things look so unfamiliar that it feels like a completely different place entirely and then I question where I am. Am I even home, or if I’m driving am I even going the right direction? Logically I know it’s the same and that it’s the same as the day before but it feels so wrong. Even now. Is this really my bedroom? Is this really me typing. It seems my hands are just doing whatever.

@Bowens @Zoe Thank you for listening to me and sorry for bothering you. I must eat some food and go to work though.

no bother, don’t worry 
It definitely sounds like dissociative symptoms, with elements of both derealisation and depersonalisation.
I have them myself, but they are much milder than yours.
