Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I also get thoughts questioning the body and how weird it all is and also how weird life is in general. My thoughts bother me every waking moment, I don't know how I'll ever stop thinking them. From what I've read, the way to get rid of them is to let them be there but not place any importance on them, but I just don't know how not to place importance on them, it's not a conscious decision by me, they just bother me so much and I don't know how I'm supposed to just switch that off. I've been through this before a few years ago and the thoughts eventually went away but it seems to be taking longer this time (it's been 7 months so far) x
Feeling good, but I need a little advice about the body and thoughts

i remember having thoughts almost same as yours, i once wanted to tear apart my ears from my head, and pop my eyes. fortunately, i never did those things. point to remember is that,
try to spend as much time as possible with people ( friends, family, random internet people
). trust me it will help. and don't stay alone, coz otherwise you tend to have these thoughts.get engaged in activities. do whatever that you used to do when you were alone. ( masturbate if necessary
)go out of the house as much as possible, play video games. etc etc.
how long have you had DP for ? and From Smoking Weed ?
if you have any questions, ask me.
Thank you and everyone for the responses. I got it from a panic attack a couple years ago. I am on viibryd which caused my anxiety to go up before it goes down(my psychiatrist told me that is how it works) and I'm using it to help me help myself. I have tried to spend time with others, but everyone else is busy and the viibryd is causing a good chunk of anxiety that I can't go too far from home without panicking. It did allow me to study my Japanese again and exercise, which helps, even though it stimulates the brain and causes some stress,i remember having thoughts almost same as yours, i once wanted to tear apart my ears from my head, and pop my eyes. fortunately, i never did those things. point to remember is that,

I seem to be doing better each day. I was only thinking the thoughts when I tried to sleep yesterday, so I'm assuming I am on the right path and the medicine is helping me get there. I was nervous that I couldn't cure myself while on the medicine(might have been a stupid question to ask my psychiatrist, but oh well.) He assured me that the medicine helps you cure yourself and pushes you.
I was just wondering if these thoughts are similar to having the thoughts of the world being fake, etc and that once I get out of this funk, I will accept it as much as I accept people having brains and their own personalities. I thought this was something entirely different and that it was different from the normal DP/DR thoughts, but it seems like I'm being told that it's the samething and that I will accept it as much as I accept every other "What if?" thought.
Mind giving me some suggestions on what hobbies or activities you involved yourself in?
Have you cured yourself?
Did you ever have panic attacks and what did you do for them?
I probably have more questions, but I don't want to slam you with them.
