I can't be the ONLY one who gets it, can I? That's why I'm thinking it may be dissociation since no-one ever seems to get what I'm saying about it or understand it.
It's weird. I don't even know if I can describe it on here, but I'll try. I've been getting this feeling as far back as I can remember, all through my childhood and still up to this day(I'm 14 now). I'll just be doing something and then it'll be like this weird realization thing like I just woke up because I wasn't aware of anything going on around me almost like I just wasn't there in the first place for the past couple minutes, and suddenly it feels like I'm floating. Everything around me seems in a dream or in a daze, and I'm hearing what's going on but it sounds so strange to my ears--and I've been talking and moving but it's not like I'VE been controlling it. It's like I'm a robot and I'm not even me, and then when I realize this feeling it starts to get even weirder and I get extremely confused and dazed and usually say "Woah..." and blink a lot. And then everything suddenly has this weird clarity, like I notice certain colors and shapes and everything just seems clearer but I still stay confused. This happens randomly, quite often but not every day. I really hope this made sense, but I kind of doubt it. Does anyone else see where I'm coming from...? It's weird. Is it dissociation?

it could be anything ear infections make people feel this way, the coming on of viruses can make people feel this way, so can stress, excitement, lack of sleep, not eating right, not getting enough fluids, or any other physical health problems like seizure disorders, hyperventilation, or not getting enough oxygen, anemia or many others, it can also be part of any number of mental disorders like schizophrenia, bipolar, depression and many others including any of the dissociative disorders. it could be panic attacks.....
I could go on and on about all the millions of things this could be.
the only way you will discover what this problem is, is by contacting your medical doctor, they will talk with you and possibly do some tests and refer you to a psychiatrist if it turns out to be a mental problem. then the psychiatrist will have you do a whole mess of tests and then tell you what it is.
