for the past few days i've been feeling really weird at times. for quite a while i've had a bit of trouble driving - i feel really disconnected and like everything is happening too fast and is too confusing. this is kind of similar. at work when i'm writing things down or interacting with people i feel really detached and almost like i'm watching myself do things. it's like i feel really disconnected from my hands. at different times i feel like i get weirdly tall and like i'm so high above the desk, but obviously i'm not.

i've always had passing moments of feeling completely weird but they are becoming more frequent.

eg - when i think about being human and how i can have my own consciousness, and then start thinking about how it's possible that i am me, and not someone else, but the fact that nobody knows what it's like to be someone else, but there are all these other "consciousnesses" walking around all the time. it's hard to explain in words but it's usually a few seconds of feeling really confused and weird.

i'm on quite a lot of medication and usually put this stuff down to side effects. i always feel stupid trying to explain it to my dr because it sounds like i'm being silly.

yea medication does that to me too. the way my treatment providers tell the difference between my meds ......side effects.... and dissociation for example is here in america dissociation has a trigger (something happens to cause a person to have their dissociation problems) where as medication side effects are problems because of medications.

my suggestion is talk with your doctors. they will be able to tell you if the problems you are going through is because of your medications or something else.
