So I have this really weird feeling. I feel like I am on the brink of losing touch with reality. I don't know how else to describe this feeling. I feel like if I give into this vague feeling, I'm going to completely lose it. Has anyone else ever felt this way, and if so, what is going on?

I have. It comes right before mania.
It feels like being in the world, but not of it. Sort of like "yes I live in this world
but I am not like the other beings here"
Sometimes I stop in the middle of doing something, even really boring things, and think "is this me", "am I really here"
Even my own voice sounds foreign to me

Is that like you too?

I definitely get the betting part of the world but not of it. I guess disconnected is a good way to put it but not necessarily dissociating either.

I get like that yeah, had it today actually because I'm stressed out of my mind and have worked for 6 days without stopping. Sleep normally manages to ease it a little.

Yeah, now and then when stress really piles up, or I things just seem to be piling up, I get to where I feel like I am going to lose it...and like if I let go and am not always vigilent, I will lose it altogether and go somewhere bad mentally.

When I get extremely overwhelmed it's like my brain pulls the plug and I disconnect for various amounts of time until I calm down. Almost like an out of body thing. It's weird. Kind of like an involuntary deep meditation.
