Before I begin, just know that I’m not looking for someone to tell me that I should seek help with a therapist or professional help, I’m curious on what this weird thing MIGHT possibly be. I also am not currently diagnosed with any disorders, but I do fear that I have a few.
Okay, so there are moments where I feel out of my body. I forget who I am and lose all memory of who I ever was. This mostly happens when I look in the mirror. When I look in the mirror I see…myself. Then, for a moment, I’ll get light headed and then while looking at myself I’ll forget who I am. I feel like I’m not looking at a mirror, but at a person I have never met before. I don’t recognize the person I’m looking at, and I feel like I’m not even alive. It’s a moment where I feel dead. Like a ghost, looking over some teenage girl. I get this way while laying in my room. I’ll be laying in my bed and I’ll get that feeling again. I’ll tend to forget and think that I’m just watching over this random person.
These moments only last a few seconds but they feel like they take forever. And when I come back, I still feel light headed and it’s as if my whole life zooms through my head before I go back to whatever I was doing. Has anyone heard of this happening? What exactly could this mean?
