Has anyone ever experience the feeling of 'sinking into yourself' as I like to d!


Question:

Has anyone ever experience the feeling of 'sinking into yourself' as I like to describe it?

This happens occasionally when I get into a state of mind where I don't move any part of my body, and just lay there, relaxed. I've never let it finish out, however. The feeling is so real, that I fear if I do let it finish, I would fall into some sort of a coma.

There are two other situations where this has occurred, unintentionally. A couple days after I had enlisted in the military, I began to start feeling this way, but it would come on me like an attack. Almost like a lack of oxygen, and I would hyperventilate. This happened for about a week, and then stopped. I also experienced sleep paralysis often during this time.

Another, which has happened multiple times, is this. I used to be asthmatic, up until I was about twelve. I took Albuterol, an inhaler. If I took more than three 'puffs' in about twenty seconds, I would experience an insane, unstoppable feeling of 'falling into myself'. Noises sounded high pitched, and my body felt like pure static.

I should reinstate that in the first case, this occurred out of my own free will. It's nothing something that will continue to happen if I don't want it to.

In the second case, it only happened a few times, and I believe it was a case of panic attack mixed with possibly low blood-sugar.

In the third case, it's obvious that it was an effect induced by the Albuterol medication.

So how this is a mental health condition isn't quite apparent to me.

Heh...

I don't think this is a medical condition, though I COULD be wrong. There are many people who get this feeling, I think, though they may dismiss it.

Perhaps you're approaching some kind of other state of being. Perhaps it's like Sartre's Nausea. Perhaps letting it go all the way is a step towards something greater.

I can't really classify it as any of these things; they're just guesses. Try letting it go all the way and see what happens.
