confused12 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I am not sure if I am in the right area for this but I am sure someone will move it if it is better matched to another zone.I am trying to understand the dissociation/depersonalization I am experiencing which has a twist. I often have episodes where I think/feel like I am living in a parallel. By this I mean things are happening around me but I am standing next to my body and feel nothing, yet I see things happening. I do not face myself so I actually can't see my physical reactions or what I look like in real life. I have been experiencing this often again only the twist is I am further away and facing myself. I am that far away that I can't actually see me clearly. The other part to the twist is that I am pregnant in real life and the baby which I know is inside me actually is outside my body and some distance away during these parallel episodes.It is all a bit weird for me but I would like to see if anyone has some insight or experience with these kinds of thoughts. I am not really sure what triggers this as I don't remember anything before I notice what I have described above. I don't even know how often it happens or how long it goes for.I am interest in hearing from anyone with their thoughts/experiences.Confused12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paula Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hi confused12I am trying to understand the dissociation/depersonalization I am experiencing which has a twist.

You said you are interested in hearing from anyone with their thoughts/experiences? Well... I am Dyslexic and we see things like you describe. We see things like, as if were in an outer body! We/I see in a 3 Dimensional effect. What I am trying to say is, when I look at anything, I see in pictures. So I study the object from all around no matter what way I am looking at it. If I am facing frontwards, backwards, sideways, whatever, I see it from all handles. Even from above/below. I don't know whether that makes any sense to you or not?If this is not what you mean, then you could be experiencing something else. As you mention you are pregnant, I would like to recommend that you see your doctor and explain this to him, if only for your unborn baby's sake!

confused12 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Yes I get it Paula, I am a visual picture person. Thanks for your response. I think I have mentioned the experiences minus the baby aspect as I wasn't pregnant then. But I don't recall anyone explaining what they thought it was. This is why I am asking. But then again they may have explained but I can't remember.Confused12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
