Re: ADD / Depersonalization

[Anonymous]

I recognize the not facing reality part. I think it has to do with a coping strategy developed early in life.

How do you do it, facing RL when you’re in the glass bell?

I think I felt safe in my glass bel for years, but now it’s getting out of control…

For me it seems like there are 4 fases, do you recognise this? I’m wondering if I should act in fase two to prevent 3 and 4 from happening.

1 I am my normal ADD self

2 I start staring (a fixed stare) much more, daydreaming, wandering thoughts (this is where the glass bell comes in)

3 My mind goes ‘crazy’, it feels like a million thoughts, all wanting my attention and I don’t know which one to ‘pick’. I am unable to think for myself. The other thoughts are overruling me. I feel very ‘distant’, ‘disconnected’, the world is in a cloud.

4 My mind doesn’t feel like it’s mine anymore, I don’t feel like I’m me anymore. I can hear myself talking but it’s not me who’s talking. My body is acting on it’s own. People seem unreal.

(hmm, it’s a bit hard to describe all this in english, hope you understand)
