Nothing feels real right now , my body doesn't feels like it belongs to me. I feel like I'm fading. I am fading. I feel like I'm submerged in water ,I can't hear anything , I can't feel anything. It's like watching a movie. Am I real? It doesn't feel like it, I don't think I'm real. I can't be real.
I don't like feeling like this, I wish someone can touch me and tell me that I'm real before I fade away.

I can read this, does it help to know this? I know the feeling of being invisible, does that seem the same, I don't know?

I so hope that helps.....I would never wish this pain on anyone.....Keep talking when you can? I hope your hearing us and knowing that were here and talking back validates you...Take care

You are real, you matter, you are important. I hear you, we hear you, we read your pain, we understand that pain. You are not alone. You are among friends here. You ARE real and here with us.

Sorry that you are feeling this way. Wish we could give sound advice, but it may be different for others out there. You could try making a list of things that are real and relate yourself to those things.

An example would be like you would write a bottle in your list. Determine that this bottle is real and write down those things that make it real. You can see it, you can touch it. If you can see it and you can touch it then it relates to you by touching the bottle and feeling the texture of it. Then question how this may make some part of you real. You can touch it, you noted the texture, if you can touch it then some part of you must have to be real to feel this bottle. Then go on to do the same with other things in your list that you have determined to be real. Hope this helps even if just a little.

You are real, sometimes we just have to reconnect ourselves to those things that we know are real and sometimes we just need to keep reminding ourselves.

Take care

I am so sorry you feel this way, I remember too many days feeling this way, fact is I don't remember many days where I did not feel like this from 6-22 pretty much. Up until about a year ago I never felt real, never felt like I knew who I was or even that there was someone inside to be. Eventually, (hopefully sooner than later) you WILL find yourself and when you do, believe me, it's more real than you could have ever imagined.

I hope you have a safe happy journey finding yourself and creating yourself, it's a long road but I know you have the strength. I'm so sorry for your pain and if I could I would take it on myself only because I know how terrible it can be. Best wishes to you and if you ever need anything, myself and the rest of PC are just a PM away

I hear you. I'm actually feeling exactly the same way today. I feel like I'm just drifting further and further away from myself and sinking into a big black pit and I can't get out.

wow - i used to feel a similar way - but it did end. Do you have anybody to call? to talk to? even a causal conversation....

You are real though. Just as much as everything around you.
