Hi Im New Here

[jaynpoppy]

Hi, I just wanted to know if anyone can understand how I'm feeling.

I always feel like I'm looking out from behind a glass screen, like I'm completly detached safe and yet completly unsafe from the outside world. I hate it coz when I'm talking to people I dont feel like I'm there and I think other people can tell that I'm datached through looking into my eyes. It's all making me very nervous to talk to people and taken away my confidence.

No 1, I'm scared that my body doing this is gona hurt me, No 2 the irony is that I feel completly out of control while I'm feeling like this. Which makes me so afraid because I'm scared of losing control in the fist place.

Sorry for the long post.

I'm sure that a lot of members can relate to what you describe, I know I do. Have a good look around at some of the threads and you will realise you are not alone.

I can certainly relate. I usually feel like I'm watching myself from far away. Sometimes when I am talking to people I hear the words coming out of my mouth but I don't feel like it is me that said them. I often space out and wonder where the heck I was. It's not fun.
