I don’t quite understand what the definition of “losing touch with reality” or “feeling like reality is not real” is when what i’m experiencing is kind of like that…its hard to explain
I work retail so by the time I come home…I can bearly actually walk without leaning on something like a wall for support so I do very much feel pain which is what the internet tells me ‘brings you back to reality’ but for me it doesn’t…I wake up in the morning and I don’t necessarily feel alive like I am alive and I feel pain but it also feels like my head is not attached to my body like a minecraft character…best way I could attempt to describe it
I go to work and on the way there (i sit in the back seat and don’t drive) I zone out pretty hard on absolutely nothing and it sort of feels like ‘something’ disappears and then I get to work and usually I come early so I sit somewhere and wait for my shift…lots of people walk by and I see them and part of me understands ‘hey you saw a person’ another part is beginning to feel like ‘was that real? Are you alive?’
Then I go to work and…it’s retail so horrible suffering and misery but I quickly zone out again and while I do my work since I suffer so badly I’m constantly checking to see when does my break arrive but even in the strange state I’m in I still do my work and I talk to co-workers and it’s the same thing…understand yes it’s real but same time starting to question if it’s not even though I feel some type of constant hell fire pain in my feet or back
Then my family drives me home and I start zoning out again and very oddly it stops if I listen to music or watch tv but if I’m like starting to scroll through Twitter then it begins to feel like reality starts to slip away and it doesn’t come back…if it make sense
I sound very crazy but I’m both not on medicine or drugs so I don’t quite understand what’s happening
