I feel like I'm not here

Hi all
I have been experiencing this for quite a while. I sometimes get a throbbing head and I have this constant feeling that I'm not physically here... like the things around me are happening passively, even if I'm taking part/ participating in them. This sentiment becomes less intense when I take off my spectacles but the feeling is still present nonetheless. Can anyone tell me what I'm experiencing? I'm really worried for myself and I want to start enjoying life rather than let it pass by passively all the time. Thanks.
P.S. FYI, I'm a college student and I gotta admit that I slept only an average of 7hrs a day. But... I know theres a great bunch of schoolmates who have less sleep than me?

Did you happen to find out what this is amabd how to fix it? I also thought it was something to do with my eyes and ears! My eyes suddenly seem to always be tired and my vision is fuzzy. Please help I'm only 22. My life is passing by everyday goes by so fast I feel like I'm stuck in a hole.
Hey I feel like this too. Im a 18 yr old female. I smoke weed probably 3-4 time out if the week but I recently stopped because I'm having this feeling. I feel like I'm not in control with my body and everything I do doesn't seem like I'm actually doing it. This is a scary feeling for me. I feel antsy and mentally jittery.

I feel like this and am scared to tell anyone. I have a friend who is the same and gets checked on a regular bases. I am only 15 but I am experiencing a reality loss or some sort of awareness loss. I am always thinking ahead and not think about the present. I don't know what it is. But I heard many people suffer and are scared because of this, I am one of these people but I can't control what's going to happen. I am scared to see a doctor just incase it's a serious problem which I am trying to avoid. Hopefully it passes and I am glad I'm not the only one.
It sound like derealization and depersonalization I have it but mine has got to the point that I feel the multiple shades of me spectating there is more than one me but now I am spectating I see every thing different when I try to think like others I feel as though they are insane I feel super human but I still have compassion for others
It's called depersonalisation and is a common symptom of anxiety or panic. It's nothing to be afraid of. I quite enjoy it.
This too is happening to me. I have realised if I play a lot of computer games it tends to happen.
This has been happening to me alot lately. I feel like this constant daze has made me scared to drive because I feel like I might 'forget' I'm actually here and I'm actually driving and something might happen. I don't think I'm depressed but I'm scared because I constantly feel like I'm dreaming.
Me too it's like a high for me or like a vivid dream
I am 15 and have been feeling like this for sometime. Also as if I were a passenger in my own skin, or like I'm at a constant high come down, it's odd. At first I got really worried and thought I got some bad marijuana or something and was going to be like this forever. Found out that's not the case and that anxiety is common in my family. I hate feeling like this though. I don't know what to do I've tried changing my schedule and diet and also trying to force myself to be happier but it won't work. I'm disconnected. I got use to the feeling but want to be me again. A part of me thinks it's my environment that plays a huge role on my stress levels. When it all changes and gets better I will let you guys know. Hopefully it goes away.
Yeah I feel the same as all you..
I'm 19 year old male.. And a year and a bit ago I had a pretty serious car accident which left my mate in hospital for months with broken limbs (relief.. I was thinking I killed him when I looked back in car and saw him unconscious).. But all I did was blame myself, I had all support of friends and family and even mate in hospital told me not to worry about it.. But I didn't care what they said and I just stuck to myself
As soon as my injuries recovered I was out of there and back in a car till i lost my licence in court for it
A couple months later after a big night of drinking , i woke up in a daze, not feeling real. Its like i knew what was real but it feels fake. I thought it was a big hangover.. But the symptoms just stayed with me till this day. I stick to myself alot and only do things if someone else organises it with me.
I feel drinking makes everything a little better, and to find a hobby, eg. I work on cars and bikes, and it calms me down and gets my mind off things
Hi koi hfdtx b
I know this discussion was started years ago but I decided today to look up why I keep feeling this way. Like I am not present, not truly a part of anything. A ghost?
I am not a kid. I am 36 years old and I feel this way almost daily.
More often than not, it seems to be accompanied by a feeling of nausea, maybe even fatigue, and sometimes headaches.
I just want something to snap me back in to my body.
When I drive, I feel this way, which I am thinking is likely dangerous.
I feel this way at work. I hear people talking and laughing and I just feel like a spirit floating around.
Has anyone gotten any help with this? It is scary. I sometimes think that maybe if I truly disappeared it would be no different.
Hard to describe. Hard to live like this.

im 25 I used to be very athletic when I was a little younger I worked outside all the time was tan built very well I stopped building pools with my step dad and we moved cause he found a gf I started smoking weed a lot I enjoyed it I felt at easy on it kinda laid back relaxed and watched the time pass by we moved when I was 15 I was 17 when I dropped out of school cause by then my pops got outa prison and after many many years mom and him decided to get back together so I dropped out in 10th grade I wanted to make the kind of money my older brother was making with him roofing right after I got signed out of school for the last time he quit roofing and went to work for a actual company I was to young to work at and they stayed gone all the time my mom worked and little brother was in school I lived in the country and had no tv and one radio station to listen to so I moved out with a old friend I had before I moved we partied a lot smoked weed did lots of coke xtabs and booze I moved back home after I lost all my fat off my body looking like a skeleton from about starving to death so that's the history on me a little bit after coming back home it was just me to sit at the house by myself till my little brother made it home from school I was almost 19 by then so didn't think school was really an option for me to go back to I felt so empty waiting all day for someone to mingle with someone to talk to I went stir crazy I fell into I think depression I felt as if in a daze I blamed this new feeling on the drugs and how bad I was taking care of my body the feeling I had is best described as have you ever been starring at something for a long time with out blinking cause your eyes felt so comfortable in that spot you didn't want to move them? That's how it has been for since I can remember I think from being alone it just made me realize it more it made me feel dumb and not smart I am not much of a reader cause I read one page in a book and can easily far to sleep like so sleepy I literately can pass out but anyways in my 18th year of life I was able to try some salvia my older brother and me got some from a smoke shop and was smoking it like weed but wasn't doing anything but I remembered when I used to huff axe body spray I used to have to hold it in to feel the high feeling so I tried it like that and boy was that a bad idea I had a trip I witnessed my own face melting off my body cause my brother told me I drooled on the pipe right as it was happening and I tripped thinking my lip which eventually turning into my entire face dripping off it was really bad I remember my pops saying one time never forget to breath no matter what ya do which for some reason I guess it helped but kinda not cause breathing is supposed to be involuntary and I should have to think to breath every since then I always find myself thinking to breath and finding myself struggling for air well I meat my wife when I was 19 and we now have 4 amazing full of life children they are our pride and joy I haven't done anything since my son was born which was when I was 19 until recently I tried some shrooms with a guy I work with and I had a very bad trip I saw faces melting and thing we're talking to me it was very bad I felt though as if the world was going to end I had to call the wife and tell her what I did and not to be mad at me cause I really needed her to just talk to me I needed to hear her voice it was the only thing that was making the feeling of panic go away this lasted for hrs and I think it has altered the way I think I feel panics quit often now and I thought they had subsided until I was gonna try and loose a little weight by taking zantrec black weight loss pill I was sitting at the house playing on my pic when everything started to shut in on me I got dizzy and got tunnel vision and felt like I was going to die it was the feeling over worry x100 scared the hell out of me I went and had blood work done and got my heart checked out but every since then I can't seem not to think of negative things I think of the future and death and it makes me panic I think of other things and I start to panic I don't know how to shake this feeling I get when I think of bad things I used to be full of life and have energy I feel fatigued all the time just doing nothing don't feel like myself I just feel in a daydream state like the comfortable eyes feeling but all the time like in a daze it's scary and I have a hard time coping with it I always have been a very strong minded person and I think I'm almost over my bullshit panic attacks I just try not to think about it and it won't happen but when I do it's right in my face I started taking vitamin d and magnesium and lots of water I don't know if that is why I feel a little better mentally or if it's just a metal thing and I'm just saying I'm supposed to feel better cause I'm taking those vitamins either way I hope the best to each and every one of you I exercise by walking and or riding a mountain bike and I started eating lots of veggies and some fruit the walking and riding helps a ton for me I feel like I'm just lacking something or missing something I don't really feel in touch with my body anymore like I used to and I know it's from the decisions I've made but it's ok to panic and worry that's what makes us human right the feelings of them are normal and are what our ancestors did everyday flight or fight feeling the adrenaline rush of panic it's extreme let it consume you if you feel it talk to it say you enjoy it say you know why it's there and tell it I embrace you I own you and you are my feeling then think of your self as if you are the most amazing person around you cause who else can get that amount of adrenaline by just thinking of a simple thought I don't flood myself with the future or the past I think of the happy innocent things I did as a child like digging in the dirt to make a race car track with my toy cars or racing the kid next door to the fence this is our life's and we are ok because we have and are still alive enough to notice something that our bodies are going through if you need piece of mind go get the tests done the blood work talk to a nutritionist a heart doctor find out where you stand and if nothing medically is to blame then accept the fact that you are different and have an amazing ability to control your body work with it and it's to talk to your self and couch yourself and root youse of on in your very own headed that voice inside your headed that you think with make it positive plan things have a schedule eat healthy exercise and remember we are all human some people are different in many ways but the select few like us are amazing cause we are still human enough to notice a change with our selfs and what's going on around us others are sucked in by all the worlds temptations and wicked ways anyways thank you all very much for reading my non punctual post never could write a proper sentence but hey it's my first post maybe I could work on that I love you all and challenge your selfs make small goals and strive to achieve them don't be afraid of the undone or not known our for fathers did way more then most of us they did it cause they had pride in what that believed in they were strong we can be too thanks all happy little thoughts go a long way share your confidence and love with others pay it forward and kindness and complements go a long way and can change someone's life thanks again embraces your feelings, Bartra
