I have this odd feeling that I've lost my touch with reality. I'm not psychotic (not imagining things or anything), but I feel like I'm floating inside a huge bubble. Has anyone ever felt like this? I don't like it

Yes. For the last 3 days, I have had that feeling constantly. I feel rather detached from my surroundings. In a dream. I'm currently manic. Everything is exquisitely beautiful and I'm in love with everyone and everything. The energy inside me is real, and the energies outside me are the dream. I intensely feel the pain of my friends who are in trouble. There are other experiences too that come and go, but that one is persistent.

No. I get enough sleep.

I guess there is something we have in common. The world inside me appears more real than the so called real world too. And there's the detachment from the surroundings. I'm not manic though. I'm depressed if anything.

i think i have a similar feeling like this sometimes...it's more like my head is not attached to my body...it's like the world keeps on going but everything in my mind is slow motion, my ears get plugged , everything is muffled but i can hear my heart beating...maybe it's the same? I'm not sure.

When my ears get plugged like that I think it's anxiety.

I've had the feeling that my head was detached from my body, was about 5x larger than normal, and floating about 6ft above my shoulders. The feeling never lasted more that a minute or two though. I always found it amusing, probably because it was such a fleeting experience. Kinda like an amusement park ride.

I feel trapped. Like I'm a prisoner inside my own skin and mind

Warrioress!
I get like the thing you described too. Sometimes I even have the feeling that I am about 3' behind myself, or that my head is floating behind my real head. It's a strange feeling indeed.

It could be a numerous amount of things. from sleep deprivation (which seems to have been ruled out) to stress. I know when I get stress, I feel as if I loose touch with reality. If it persists, you should try talking with someone trusted. Hope it helps <3

It's good to know that I'm not alone. It's getting dangerous though. I'm going towards depression and suicidality.
