Has anyone else experienced this? It feels really weird. I feel like I'm not in reality when this happens. I've had times when I'm walking and I feel like I'm in a different world. This happened to me when I was on a boat trip with my family. I was kneeling down and I felt like I was in another world or wasn't in reality and I started panicking. I told myself, "I need to ground myself". I was OK after. I really don't know what these are.

Hello MissInvisible, this sounds like dissociation, read this interesting article, it tells you all about it. It is actually a coping mechanism. In-Depth: Understanding Dissociative Disorders | Psych Central

Thank you for your answer. I hope I posted this question in the right forum. I'm sorry if it sounds silly.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
