This is what's called an awakening, look into enlightenment, you are simply realizing your natural state, many people spend there whole lives searching for what you have. Abide in this feeling,look into enlightenment and teachers such as Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta Maharaj, and western ones like Paul Hedderman. Good luck

Look up the term depersonalization

I'm 17 and feeling the exact same way. it's like I'm just going through the motions in life. like many others described the feeling of being in a daydream. it feels like I'm not even "here". its hard to explain

Google depersonalization disorder

This is called depersonalization, it is part of anxiety. I get it sometimes, as a matter of fact I have it now. I just keep chugging along it will eventually pass. It is harmless.

Just breathe and it will pass.

It could be a spiritual awakening... I feel the same way and I have been diagnosed with anxiety and ADD, but when I simply ask to be in my body, it works. I say out loud," I would like to be in my body today, I want to be aware of everything around me" it sound crazy but it really works.

Hi. I know where you are all coming from, trust me. First I will tell you that feeling dissociation and depersonalization has next to nothing to do with diet, sleep, your hearing or your vision. All of these textile sensations and necessary bodily functions can ease or exacerbate DS/DP, but they are not the root cause. For me the root cause is having a nasty mix of Bipolar 2 and Asperges. Both of these mental conditions are deformations in the brain, usually the Amygdala, Hippocampus and other constituents of the Basal Gangila, also likely a deformation in the frontal cortex. I have experienced varying forms of DS and DP for most my life, I started having bad mania when I was 6 years old which by the time I was 9 turned into Bipolar 2 depression, I have been in the depressed state for most of my life (I am not 24). Dissociation is like being in a dream while being fully conscious and fully logical. It does not affect your actions nor does it affect your logical thinking patterns but it does affect how you feel and how you perceive textile information. Depersonalization is when you lose yourself, when you forget for a time regardless of its variable; who and what you exactly are. I use to drink Alcohol which made both worse and made me feel a different form of dissociation. I however continue to use Cannabis (low THC, High CBD Indica Dominant Hybrids) to treat my bipolar. It doesn't always work but it can make you feel like you are plugged into reality rather than just a bystander. I have known the furthest depths of emotion that anyone could possibly fathom in this life, I have also known the furthest depths of apathy that anyone can fathom in this life. There is an old saying from a song I use to listen to. "Pain without love, pain! I cant get enough because I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all" Very true lyrics. The reason your DS and DP are affecting you so much is because we are emotional creatures and we need to feel alive to function properly. Eating right, sleeping right and exercise will improve your physical condition, but to my knowledge only Cannabis has ever helped with DS and DP concerning myself. I have seen numerous psychologists and therapist and most confirmed that I had Bipolar like the Bipolar 2 variant and likely Asperges, one of my doctors thought it was possible that I had mildly schizoactive Bipolar 2 because I get visual hallucinations. It is a hard thing to deal with, and it can get worse though it can also get better and whether it gets better or worse is largely dependent on your genetics and unique brain chemistry. It is not easy but it is a price some of us have to pay for life. If you are very uncomfortable with such a condition I would suggest trying a few recommended pharmaceuticals from psychologists though be wary for many drugs can adversely affect you and exacerbate your DS and DP. If you are going to try Cannabis then do not do what I did which is to use High THC strains in excess, it will exacerbate your DS and DP to an incredible degree and give you extreme paranoia and likely cause GAD (General Anxiety Disorder) which will make your DS and DP worse. Over time you will find a way to be content with it, in fact for most of my life I have tolerated it and at times even enjoyed the feeling. I of course enjoy feeling connected with reality more than being in a dream state but life isn't fair is it? Don't lose hope however, and do not trouble yourself thinking you are going insane. If you are going insane you will not realize it, if you lose touch with reality then you will not notice that shift, and realize that no matter how crippled your mind becomes that death is always at the end and it will deliver you from all afflictions both of body and mind.

I am 24 for, sorry for typos.

I'm a secondary student and I'm 13 and also think to myself what if I'm not here and what would happen if I 'wake up one day' and I'm not me I'm someone else who was having a dream of this life
