I feel like I'm not here

You should find something to do and find a girl and be happy that you have a body to move in thats what i do when i get depressed.

Hi, even i feel the same. i am not feeling anything lively, for ex if i am on tour, when on tour and also returning from tour i feel like i am not alive and enjoying, my life was totally bad, from childhood everyone used to make fun of me with nick names all friends, school, college, also at work place(my bad luck) relatives, neighborhood etc... they say i am dull. Because of this i ran into depression, inferiority complex, lack of confidence. today i feel very uneasy to move into a group of people, i feel like i want to take revenge. i want to enjoy be happy win over, let the fucking world how much it try to push me, i may fall, but i wont stop standing again. i will do want i wish to. but this feeling of not lively is irritating me, i went to psychiatrist, he told mood disorder, depression other wise not specified, he gave tablets. i have to start medication, i dont want to loose my life. i will fight everything. i also think working in night shift has some effect. i have glasses from 10yrs for long sight. thx for everyone for sharing.

READ THIS :-).  I'm with you guys.  Same symptoms - constant mental fog, feeling like I'm not really all here, causing some odd introspection. Based on my general research here are some really positive notes. 74% of all people will experience depersonalization-derealization (which is what the large majority of us here are experiencing) at some point in their lifetime. From what I've read in books about derealization-depersonalization, most cases of it last two years or less and subside on their own with or without medication :-D. Stay positive. Stay present. I recommend dealing with individual issues (anxiety, stress, depression, vision) to help your body tackle the larger underlying sensation.  I, more favorably, advise doing this as naturally as possible. You're body is complex.  Exercise, specifically cardio, 30-40 mins a day helps my chronic anxiety SO much.  It really does me the favor of burning off the excess adrenaline causing a lot of my stress.  And, personally, any kind of exercise makes me feel better/happier as a result.   Another thing to try, and I know it sounds odd, is to do a few random acts of kindness a week (at least 3).  I've seen this work wonders on depressed or strained individuals. I sympathize with everyone here.  I've read all of your stories, and I have my own.  Be comforted, and be proactive in taking care of yourself.  Hang in there. 

Also, there's a whole online community based on this usually temporary disorder. I'm pretty sure this site won't allow me to post the link, but Google "dpselfhelp". :-D

I've been having these feelings lately. Someone told me what it was called depersonalization. I've started to lose hope. I feel like i can see my body, but i'm not there and someone else is controlling me. I guess i'm saying i need help. I'm a 16 year old male.     Maybe there is something wrong.....

Hello everyone, Today, I was feeling down with similar symptoms as described here by all that shared their feelings. I will share my way of coping whenever feelings like these occur. Before I continue I want to tell you that I have used merijuana and cocaine in the past; more pot than cocaine. Because I abused it many times I had horrible trips and unpleasant consequences after the highs. Basically, I turn to eastern philosophy. Meditation, tai chi, yoga, kung fu, ect. Positive thinking always helps and do research on any questions you have. Try to follow your inner voice. learn how to listen to your self. And finally personal discipline and integrity. Few links to check if you feel like reading. ***Post is edited by moderator *** Web addresses not allowed***Please read our Terms of Use

I suffer from anxiety, I say the same thing it feels like ur on pause but the while world is in play and ur just watching , I somtimes feel like im dreaming when I do somthing my heads not with it but I just reassure myself its in my head and try to focus on everything I do hope it helps , think possitave

what did your dr say?? I have the same feelings..

I used to have an experience similar when I was younger. It felt like I was here, but not here and always occurred when I was in a large group of people and it was noisy. It may have been anxiety but I didn`t feel anxious just disconnected.

I am 14 and I get these feelings. I know how it feels to be high and it feels like this but it comes in flashes one hour I will be normal but the next I will have no idea what is going on. I am starting to get scared and sometimes my vision is affected

I 've been feeling really weird too lately, I could walking to my car or just talking to someone and then it hits me, i get this feeling like "i can't believe iam here right now on earth, like its too much for me to handle or something and then my pulse starts racing and i feel like i want to freak out because i feel like this isn't hapening to me. IDK its very scary
