What do you feel guys? Do you have any kind of thoughts like for example:
When i do something i keep thinking why i did. Do you feel like being robotic?
Have you ever question your self like is this my leg arm ect?
Id like to hear ppl who suffered or still suffering to see how its like.

I experience the robotic feeling of just going through the motions. Sometimes it feels almost like I'm floating inside myself. If that makes any sense.

Something I experience quite often, if I get really stressed out and a lot writing in my journal, is my hands being someone else's. I see my hands. I know they are mine, but they seem to be someone else.

Sometimes when I see myself in the mirror, I know that's me. I accept that it's me. But in some weird way it doesn't seem like me.

Hope that helps. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around all this myself.

for me I have no thoughts. when my thoughts keep focusing on why I did something my treatment providers call that obsessive thought patterns with my OCD and bipolar disorders.

no i dont feel robotic as if my arms and legs were robot limbs, thought I do feel like I am moving in slow motion. when I have felt robotic my treatment providers called that a movement \motor disorder associated with my having MS.

my depersonalization derealization disorder symptoms are things like feeling numb, spaced out, like an observer rather than a participant (some locations call this disconnected from one self or others) sometimes feeling as if I were dreaming, knowing I wasnt just feeling like it, you know that light headed calm slow motioned feeling you get when you are just waking up in the morning. and sometimes my perceptions of what I am seeing\experiencing is just a bit off, like thinking its later than it really is, knowing that its not later just feeling like it is, feeling like I am lifeless/unreal knowing i do exist and I am alive and am real, just a feeling of being lifeless, unreal, non existent. kind of like when you have been sitting for a long time your foot goes to sleep you know your foot is really there and really attached to your body but it doesnt ...feel .....like your foot is there.

to find out if what you are feeling is depersonalization in your location you will need to contact a treatment provider in your off the computer location.

Yes oh yes! Its so dissociation! I can sit on my bed in my room, but feel like I was just teleported to another dimension. I can say it looks familiar, but feel foreign.

Body parts are crazy! My body part will go numb where I can't feel it then it comes across as like not mine....but it goes much more byond that.

DR is like an acid trip that you just got to ground yourself out of. Lol Stress and over stimlation of the senses are a trigger lke a grocery store with all the registers and people and color and activity and smells and .... Space out! :P
