hello, i just joined this forum out of hopes that perhaps talking to others who are also dissociating will help Mermaid to not feel alone/bring me out of this. i had a period of dissociation back in november but felt better again until about a week ago, where i have constantly felt like i am in a movie. my brain can't help but to think about huge big picture ideas about life and death, and my body begins to go numb. the physical symptoms are so bad that i start to think i have a brain tumor or something, but when i am completely distracted, whether working out very intensely or engaging with other people, i feel completely normal again. it is so relieving but only lasts so long. does anyone have anything they have done for themselves to pull themself out of feeling this way and dissociating so heavily. please help!! i am suffering a great deal atm .
