Feel Like My Mind Is Leaving My Body, How To Get Back In Reality

[Tigergirl1217]

Hello everyone,
Currently I feel like I'm in a different dimension, it feels like dreams except I'm awake and it is driving me insane. What are ways to come back? I also feel like some one is hunting me. Like I feel like someone is watching me. Could seroquil cause this? I'm going up on it now. People say when I'm gone I move my head a lot because it is so vivid. I sometimes feel my body is stiff. Does this happens to anyone else?

However, I did have huge issues with Seroquil. Huge. When did you start taking it? Does it coincide with these new experiences you are having?

Yeah, I've known some people to describe it that way. You should check in with your prescriber.

Feeling like you're in a different dimension could be derealisation (dissociation). Sometimes I could definitely describe it like that when I experience it. For me, @missy meier is spot on - lots of grounding exercises and activities. Especially things using my hands like gardening; washing dishes; etc. Actually I got a dog a few months ago and it's blown my mind how much he helps keep me grounded, just by being there, so if you have a pet, maybe more quality time together?

For me being active doesn't work I do that on autopilot all the time. Something has to be very different. Yesterday it took my husband distracting me with a better something.. A video of my grand baby making dough with me. Her words "roll the dough... Roll the dough" in her little two year old voice was all it took :)

And apparently heat from the oven. That worked a min ago
