I have felt like this sometimes.. it's not often but every once in awhile I would get a feeling like maybe I'm not really there and get deep thoughts about if this world is even real and if I exist or if I'm just some other person another person dreamed up.. it's weird but I have anxiety and I know that's probably what causes it.

When you said you couldn't look in the mirror that struck something with me.. I've had that feeling before too. I don't get it all the time but every once in awhile it's like I'm not actually me looking back at myself.. it's a very strange feeling and I understand why feeling that way all the time is making you so uneasy.

I hope that you can find something to relieve you from this feeling.. it must be incredibly frustrating to feel as though you are walking through the world alone and everything else is so detached. Just try to keep in mind that there are people out there who feel that way too. Life is so confusing and bittersweet and you deserve to enjoy it and feel connected.

I hope that something starts to work for you. I think you''ll be able to lift yourself out of it. You're in college so I'm assuming you're in your twenties.. I think being in your twenties is a hard time (I'm 22 and I always feel like the world is so confusing and I'm so lost in it all). I make the mistake of getting in deep conversations about "life" and" what does it really mean" and "oh I just can't get over how strange life is" in drunk social settings. Doesn't really help my cause since people just think I'm even more weird :P Maybe you are just so observant of the world around that you retreat into your own head too much and you just got stuck in there and need to be pulled back out!
