Weird Feeling?!
Question: Sometimes, not at all lately really, I would look into a mirror and feel disconnected from myself. Like oh my god I am (my name here) and I did all those things, this is my life etc. It's hard to explain how i felt really, like a was more a different person or something like that and then was brought back by looking at myself and memories. I don't hate my life or anything so it's weird thinking back of those moments when that happened. Any ideas? Does this happen to other people to?

I get that once and a while...
I was told that it was because of the Borderline Personality Disorder...
Displacement, Detatchment... I have heard it called different things.
I have LOTS of memories that I'm not sure really happened. It is quite disturbing to need to periodically sit down and say "Did that really happen?".
Due to an abusive relationship I'm "missing" almost a full year of my life... I have NO MEMORY of anything I did and I'm terrified of looking back too hard because I have never "blocked out" any of the other horrible stuff to have happened to me so whatever happend in that missing year must have been REALLYREALLYREALLYREALLY bad and I don't think I want to know.
Sometimes I will sit down at my computer and just "Lose" hours at a time.
I don't understand how this happens because I THINK that I have been working for the whole time yet I look up and 4 hours have gone by and I am still on the first document or invoice. It gets VERY frustrating because I have no idea what happened to the time... Did I just sit there or freeze up for hours? Was I working REALLY slow? I just have no idea...
But my probelms aside...
You need to be checked out by a doctor...
You NEED to explain this to a pro that can diagnose you and help you out...
This is not normal and though it may be nothing there is a chance it could be the precurser to something bad.
Good luck!
do u not feel connected with yourself???
maybe u need a little alone time.
thing about the things u have done, the things that make you yourself, and then u have to accept it. and forgive yourself for the things u have done to you.
and ik this because actually it happened to me the other day. a really wierd sensation was sort of brought apon me and left me wondering and feeling a very awkward, different feeling. so i did what i told you. and it helped.
Haha. Me too! I think its perfectly normal, i mean i look back at my life and think about things. You're fine :]
Life takes us on many paths, and we grow during our lifetimes. Sometimes I miss the person I was 10 years ago, although I'm very happy not to be her any longer, as my life has changed and I'm content with who I am now.
Sometimes I look back and am (happily) relieved that I'm still alive, considering some of the crazy s*&% I pulled. Or I'll think about the "what ifs" of the past. What it comes down to is that we're here now, with the life we've made from the decisions we've chosen. It's not a right or wrong, or something to regret. It is simply what is. Hopefully, we've learned something along the way, and don't regret because we've learned something. Yes, things may have been different if if if, but that didn't happen.
If there's a change you need to do in your life, then do it. Don't try to relive the past, for that's merely an exercise in futility. Live better for the future, and move towards that.
Please don't regret--that makes one bitter and hopeless.
Yeah, sometimes I get that a little, but like I just realized I was disconnected.
Like I'll be doing a performance (I'm in a theater group) and then right after, or even during it, I'll be like "Oh god, I'm singing for dozens of people I don't know!" but not in a bad way, just like I'm realizing it.
Maybe you're just taking a step back and looking at your life through another set of eyes. It doesn't necessarily sound like a bad thing. Nothing to worry about or anything, just roll with it.
