My body feels like a coffin. That's the best I can describe it.
And I feel like my sense of time is going. Not the first time but I lost a whole day last week. I can't remember anything about it. I live alone so that freaks me out a bit.
Has anyone ever heard of this before?

Hello Lalo59,
I noticed that you are fairly new here. Welcome to Psych Central, I hope you have found this to be a welcoming community.
I completely agree with Open Eyes, this sounds like dissociation.
What you are feeling about your experience is very much in line with my own experiences, and of course, with other testimonials I have read as well. You are not alone, no matter how spacey and disconnected you may feel to the world around you. Dissociation is meant to help us to survive insurmountable pain and suffering - that is what the growing theory is anyways, according to some literature.
Not sure if this resonates with you?
Would you say you have major stressors coming up that may have precipitated your dissociation?
Thanks,
