What is it called when you feel like your body isn't yours?

when you feel like your body isn't yours, like it's mainly a transportation device for your head, but doesn't belong to you?

Depersonalisation, possibly? It’s a form of dissociation.

Huh, okay. Makes sense. Thank you :-)

Yeah I would also say depersonalization. For me it manifests in a way where I feel very "detached" from myself, and it doesn't feel like it is me who is doing everything I'm doing, like if I'm moving or talking it doesn't feel under my control, it's just happening, but it's always stuff I'd do, l or stuff I want to do. I feel like an observer, observing from inside my head.

For me it always occurs alongside heavy derealization, where it feels like I'm in a dream, or watching a movie, and everything that's happening feels unreal.

I have issues with not being able to dress myself. I’ll change clothes multiple times. Nothing feels like me. Could be disassociation when you feel disconnected. I have many problems with appearance feeling like my hairstyle is not mine. During my trauma I believed a delusion so I would have will to live. Very weird recent knowing that was delusion. Living with disassociation is weird at times for me. I’ve had many careers but can’t figure out one to focus on nor do I care much about career but yet I like all careers. It’s hard to put in words. I can appear emotionless in times of stress

I have no emotion. I understand that. I guess I do feel some emotion, but no anger, no sadness. I don't cry.
