Not Wanting To Be In My Body Anymore

I don't want to be in my body either. It's broken now. Always was to some degree. I haven't read the statement. I really don't know,if I can handle it right now. Maybe the night before my appointment with the T. I doubt it though.

All I can ever identify is anxiety.
T: "How are you feeling."
Me: shrugging,. "Anxious."
T: "What do your think when you're anxious?"
Me: "I don't know."

I reall y don't. I wish I could figure it out.
 
I know that when I was younger, I wanted to be out of my body and tried as a spirit to do so with no real success for years until one day I rose up to the ceiling and was looking down at the top of my head and my legs and knees sticking out in front of me. I was sitting in a chair at the time.

After that, sometimes I would get this floating feeling, like I was maybe around my body, a very light and relieving feeling. I was doing spiritual exercises at the time of the first exteriorization. The others just happen now and then with nothing in particular setting them off that I know of. Sometimes it is a good feeling to be outside of my body and sometimes it is not. It can make you feel kind of nauseated, or dizzy or even get a headache. It can be kind of disconcerting so you may not want to try to do this, as it might not be helpful.

That's a good start. All I can identify is "I can't breathe" to which t replies...and that is connected to...anxious or fear..etc.
my t asks a lot about my stomach. "What does your stomach say?" He says that is a bigger indicator of our feeling that our head. I don't think I could identify a thought associated with anxious either. My t has realized we have to break it down a lot further for me to get it.
