Hello. I don’t have an official “psychosis” diagnosis, but I do have severe anxiety & when stress gets VERY bad or I have a very bad panic attack I feel this way. It’s a very unsettling feeling.

I have thought to myself before - maybe we are part of a bigger picture? Maybe there’s something about the human mind and how it connects with the world that science just can’t explain yet? When I feel this intense detachment from my being I remind myself that my brain is supposed to do this if I’m stressed out - it’s an extension of my being.

Hope this at least helps you feel a bit more comfortable in your skin. I find something interactive helpful - like drawing, playing an instrument, video games. Anything to make the experience a bit more pleasant.
