Why does the world around me feel strange, disconnected.?!
Question: I feel a little alien to myself and the world around me feels pretty alien. I dont find pleasure in a lot of things. Everything feels alien and intangible. It's as if I feel like im on the dark side of things. Does anyone know why this is? Why do I feel so numb all the time? Please help as I'd like to open up to the world and enjoy it. Thanks

Hey I left you an email...i'm so sorry for what I said on the currency question you asked. I'm such a looser for being that way. You seem like a nice person. I felt bad after I read that. It won't happen again. I was having a bad day...but I can't take it out on yahoo answers.
As far as you're question. I will attempt it as my twin sister has bipolar. First off it sound like a type of depression maybe anxiety is associated with it. It sounds like you want to escape not just to another place but from you're own head and what its making you feel. Is something stressing you out try to close you're eyes and think about this. This is actually the OK depression. However, if you really think hard and can't find a direct cause you're depression could be the type that just happens from chemical imbalance with nothing triggering it. Meaning you have to have medication to get the serotonin going right. Serotonin is what makes us feel good. When too much is absorbed you're body can't keep up with making more and you run out becoming depressed. The medication works to block these uptake areas and let the serotonin stay making you feel good. The thing that I have learned is it is NOT the person it is only a chemical imbalance. You feeling this way is NOT you're true self. Do you feel like you can't remember what you used to be like ? I have. I felt like why can't I feel like I did when I was a child. Are you crying or feeling like you're worthless. Do you feel like you constantly search for a purpose?
The number one thing to understand is SOO MANY PEOPLE go through this...and you are not ALONE! You're neighbor could be happy when you see him but depressed inside...and you wouldn't know. I've had depression associated with my anxiety. What happens to me for example I have a large test (organic chemistry) for a b.a. degree...and I see this test as a mountain. I feel inferior too it. Instead of taking it page by page with study material like normal people do. I say "I will never learn this because i'm dumb". ITS all anxiety. I set my standards way to freakin high...and when i don't reach it...its a downfall. I am medicated now...so it is helping a lot! You just don't have to feel this way. It WILL GET BETTER.
Find things you love to do. If you can't find happiness, then let others find happiness, by volunteering and doing good things for others, like donating food, buying toys for charity, donating money, spending time with animals, anything and everything. Get more involved in your life, its your life, after all.
Listen to peppermint, find something you love to do, there are myriads of avenues of things to do
