Weird out of body feelings

I had such a weird feeling today when I took my routine walk to library and shops. I noticed the sky was bluer than usual and the day wonderful and bright. Then as I was walking I felt anxious because it felt like I was detaching from my body like the surroundings became blurry and spinning like I was losing focus. I felt scared a little like I needed something to grasp onto before I lose my awareness. I don’t know what it means. It was like I was mentally dizzy not physically dizzy. Sometimes I notice it happens when I drive too which scares me. I think that’s why I have a bit of a phobia for driving because I can lose focus.

What I would like to know is… what are these feelings? Is it part of sz? Or anxiety? Anyone else feel this way?

This happens to me quite often, it’s a lot like dissociation and is very upsetting. I often will just be sitting and lean back, or walking, and it feels like my spirit is trying to leave my body…or that the floor is falling beneath me. I get very anxious due to it, I hope with time, that it stops or at least becomes less. I did notice along with my psychosis, it got worse and more anxiety-inducing.

Happens to me all the time. It’s kinda like a stoney kind of feeling. It can bring me anxiety at times.

I sometimes feel this way. I have trouble seeing the sky or the clouds even if im in the mouintains.

I have this. I have scary instances of feeling like I’m in a different place than I really am. My mind tells me I’m [there] but my eyes tell me I’m [here]… Sometimes my mind and eyes disagree on where I am and I feel lost or disconnected from my surroundings.

Idk if that’s what you’re talking about or if this is something different. I’m sorry you are experiencing that, though. :heart:

Sounds like dissociation. I get that alot but for me I think it’s related to my epilepsy.

I believe the word for this is derealization, which is a type of dissociation. Tell your doctor about it if it’s troubling you.
