Sometimes when I'm feeling really stressed and tired, I feel this urge to go somewhere, anywhere. I'm conscious, I remember most of what I've done and where I've been, it's blurry but it's there. I'm usually not very aware of what I'm doing, but I don't do anything particularly strange, I just don't always know what I'm doing or why.
Last night is a good example. I left my house because my headphones broke and I wanted to listen to some music. I somehow ended up across town buying things I didn't need in the opposite direction I was planning to go. I felt really out of it and confused, kind of snapped out of it for a second and remembered I wanted headphones and bought them from the counter. The cashier was making casual conversation and it didn't seem like I was freaking her out so I guess I wasn't acting as disoriented as I felt. But I can't for the life of me remember the words that were coming out of my mouth. Like being possessed. It's disturbing to me.
I know it's some type of dissociative thing, and this kind of thing has happened to me before but it's usually only when I'm under a lot of stress.
Anyone have similar experiences? Know what this even is?
