I'm glad I'm not alone on this one. This has been my major symtom and the whole reason I went to T years ago. The disconnection and the unrealness to the world around me is so overwhelming.

Many ppl don't understand. Example- Our mailbox is right next to the road. I'll check the mail and will be standing just in the road looking through the mail with out even a clue of the cars and semi's speeding around me. My family yells at me for standing in the road all the time. But I'm completely unaware of my surroundings. Just like there is no one else on this earth but me at that moment.

Susan- yeah there are times were I'm connected and hungry and wanting to eat. In fact I LOVE to cook. But there can be days where I just plain forget all together that the body needs food. Like you I have family that pretty much keep me alive. They make my meals for me, watch that I don't wonder out into the street. My body is 35 years old and I have to have ppl watch over me as if I was 4.
