I feel like I'm not here

I am experiencing something very similar. I am put into this daze, I am coherant, but my mind is somewhere else. I has control over these dazes for a while after I went to talk to a therapist. But I just experienced two in the last 4 hours. This daze drains me, and that is a very difficult thing to do! I am 24 years old, female, university student. I've disscussed this with a few friends and family members and they think it may be hormonal? I am about 1 1/2 weeks away from my menstrual cycle. Perhaps that is something to do with it as well? I have also noticed it when I have not eaten for a while. I was convinced the episodes were anxiety, but I am such a happy person, I love life, I love myself. I hate not knowing what this is.

well, okay i have the same thing, but it does go away for me, if i dont masterbate for about 19 days, then i feel clear and all there. i know this might sound silly n dumb, but ive ben going thrue this for a long time, since i started masterbating, but got worse noticable when i was 15 n up. and i learned this cause i studied it myself, ppl say sex is perfectly normal n stuff, but think your health goes to shit when you get older, why? cause people have sex n masterbate when theyre older. when your a kid your full of energy and everything was so real back then.so i whent 24 days without masterbating, i felt super great and all there, i could think great n my memorie was super sharp.but this might sound really stupid but i had a wet dream n i got aroused lol, n after that, 3 days ago, just feel so dull and my eyesight sucks n i feel as if im not all here. like i barely lost any sperm but yea. so this may sound really messed up , ut its worth a try to see what i mean, you may be really horny but youll have so much energy and everything.19 days and up you only improve more try it lol. i was getting solid working out everyday, now i dont have the jump to do anything really. but if you think im crazy well this is my experience and its 100 percent true 4 me.

omg same. I am 15 though. It is so annoying. it feels like you are mentally not here and you can seeing everything but not mentally. Its weird. I do everything I am meant to, answer when spoken to, walk to wherever im meant to go. but it feels like I dont comprened it all. I hate it. I've only had it twice, first there was a lot going on at home and I went to the doctor, they didn't help at all. Then things started gettng better in life. It went away. Now I got a cold a few days back and i feel like it again. I wear glasses too and now it hurts to wear them.

I haven't had a chance to read all the replies on this thread, so I don't know what solutions you guys have come up with. But I'm 16, and this happened to me about a month ago and it lasted for 4 hours, and it's just starting again today. It seems that you guys have come to the conclusion that it's anxiety. Somebody said they feel this at work but once they get home it's fine. But for me, last time it happened I was just at home hanging out with my friends. And this time I was just at home relaxing. I was wondering what were the best ways to cope with this, because I'm all alone this time and it's kind of scary

I am 19 and I had mono last year. I also had depression once but only because of medication i was on (accutane), alone with stress. I never felt like this before, this dreaming all day and making me horribly upset. I dont know if it is because of the mono that I feel this way now, but I have many actions that I did towards my X girlfriends that I would never think of myself as doing. I was always so nice and sweet, but recently i've just been constantly upset and angry ever since my last break up and it's because I know I did wrong. The worst part about it is that I can not get negative thoughts about myself and the world since that day. I had break ups before, but this is my first real break up since the mono and I have never felt like this before, nor do i ever want to again. Really i need to know what it is and how to fix this issue.

hi, im 29 ive felt this way for 3 years, i remember the day i went into this horrible bubble like state, as if i wasnt really here altho i am, its like your trying to do things by mental thinking(or normal) but its as if instinct has ataken over, my memory isnt great it wasnt specktacular before, simple tasks seem hard all tho i can do them, i wake up thinking ive i snapped out of it but still i havent. it all happened 3 and a bit years ago, i was setting a business up, i was having problems with my girlfriend, my sister had found a lump, and to top it all off my best friends mum past away, now to someone reading this, may it be a doctor or member of public would straight away suggest stress, or mild breakdown (due to the stress) now thats fine it does deem obvious....BUT, im not stressed anymore nor am i suffering with depression are anxsiety (i dont think) so surely something that makes you feel like you guys and myself feel could come wen your extemely stressed should surely leave wen your not.....ive thought of everything and really dont know what it could be...but your right it seemes to take over your life, because with this (thing) your confidence...not in looks, but ability seems to suffer, if anyone can help, doctor g.p. it would be an absolute GOD SEND thank you

Human nature and the extent of our ability seems intimidating. There are billons of different minds thinking on this plantet. All are forced to make difficult decisions every second of consciousness. Further, every instant of time is another opportunity to make another decision that will affect our future. Conscious thought feels as if we have a choice to particpate, however the extent that we all participate self selects us into our social environment. Consider an animal, each has a goal, in that it realizes its surrounding and reacts. We are not different from everything else that has free will. Everyone reacts out of making rational thought, but the degree of rationale varies. Each rational decision leads to a progression of rational decisions leading to a general trend of behavior. These decisons become easier once you accept everyone else is fixed by this constraint as well. Luckily, our decisions are becoming easier as our suroundings, or fixed societal makeup, helps us to select our futures. I realized this over the last few years. It seems anyone with peaked levels of anxiety think too much about what our scope of decisison making consists of-- are people judging us? is this socially acceptable? ultimately, concern of other's posisitons and strategies as well as your own, creating a self struggle for little benefit. It seems rational that once one realizes the type of primrose decisions making it would be in everyone's own Best interest to evaluate your surroundings and realize everyone involved is just as involved as yourself. Its not paranoai, its an even playing ground and its a game everyone can win. This is our only chance of consciousness and wasting it seems nuts.

Hiya, I know how you're all feeling. Im a 21-year old female and have been experiencing this feeling that im not here, a bit spaced, especially at work, where the walls are all painstakingly white! This has only been happening for the past month, I also have pressure on the front of my head and top of my nose, as well as slightly blocked ears. I feel this may be down to doing too much. Right now im working every weekend aswell as work experience and juggling xmas shopping and going out! Im also a complete hypocondriact, and fear the worse every time I get ill, for instance last month I had a urine infection and immediately thought it was kidney cancer etc. I immediately thought that this feelin was down to a tumor or something else severe but the more I think things like this the more anxious I get, and am now thinking this may be all down to anxiety! Its good to know other people are going through this! Think ill probably go to the doctor to see if they have anything to say!

i have the same thing u guys are all feeling.. but lets see it this way... what if its a reason we have this feeling..wat if were chosen for somethin idk i was reading this blog last nite and i fell asleep thinkin of all and any posiblities.. its pretty obvious we mostly kinda have some things in common..physical things but this isnt a physical thing its a mental thing... now dont start thinkin u r all weird or dumb cuz i also saw that the ppl on here are very inteligent...is it possible that our brains are finally trying to rest.. almost like an overload mechanism..or maybe like i said were chosen for something...are we all religious? do we believe in things of that nature? idk? this is wat has been goin thru my head for a while trying to figure out wat is wrong with me... we must keep this forum alive because if we dont then we will lose contact with eachother... i also found that writing this has comfort me..so just keep writing on here p.s we are still normal, get it out of ur head that something is wrong...its ur brain messin with u..trick it by making urself think ur normal

i have the exact same feeling. i am 14 and its been going on for several months, its quite terrifying! i was in the car on the way to school with my dad, and it just hit me, i was like are you actually in this car with your dad? and you just sit there until it hits you that your actually in the car with your dad LOL. it sounds crazy, i just need some reasurance! now if i ever think like that, i just keep saying yeah i am here, its real. it helps a little bit, but not much. its died down alot since it started. but i am very happy im not the only one (:

Wow! I'm so relieved there are a ton of people out there that have this same feeling..I'm 17, female, and have had this for the longest time..It's like I can't get a grip on reality and maybe it's because I daydream too much. I have a lot of anxiety so maybe that could be it too..but whatever it is it's really getting irritating because it feels like I'm high or something, but I'm not. It's like it's a feeling were your confused with whats real and whats an illusion..gosh, I hate it lol

I have been feeling the same way for countless years now, I am 26 and it never seems to get any worse, just is there more and more and you notice it more.

And all this time i thought I was alone. I'm 16 and this has been happening to me for the past year and a half or so, I want to know what exactly it is, but seeing as there is no exact "diagnosis" for it, I'll just ask a doctor sometime soon. Feels great to know I'm not alone though! :-)
