do you feel like your body has like a mind of its own. like your hands, feet, or legs. like i pick up a spoon and wonder how the hell i did that. or pick up anything for that matter. or even walking, i can't feel myself walking and it just feels like my legs are moving on its own and i am not controlling my legs when i walk.

Right. I feel that all the time. It's called dissociating from your body. I've been doing it most of my life but it became much worse with the DP.

Oh hell yes!

I really try not to focus on it because if I do I totally freak out and have a panic attack. I have learnt to ignore it to a degree where I just let things be and remind myself it is simply the human experience.

Really try hard at distracting yourself so that you don't focus on HOW it is all happening. When you try to test HOW it works in an attempt to reassure yourself you will inevitably make your DP worse. Just don't go there! It's damn hard but trust me it's the only thing that works. Seriously this body disassociation has caused some of the worst fear I have ever experienced. Distract as per usual.

Take care.

Yeah. I feel like a robot. Right now for instance. How the fuck am I typing? But it happens, right? It's supposed to feel unconscious. It does for most people. Most people don't question it though. That's all you need to remember.
