ok...yes i know....it is another obsessing over a scary thought again but i just need to get it down...

over the last week my dp/dr has been real nasty...

my main problem is that i do not only not feel like myself...but i feel like someone else...

it is really weird...when i look in the mirror it really does feel like i am looking at someone else and not me at all...

as if i really am someone else inside another persons body...

i am also getting really nasty pains in my arms, hands, feet and legs a lot and the numbeness is the worst it has been so far...

if anyone can relate to any of this feel free to post you thoughts.

many thanks for reading

hey soph, i've had this weird feeling for a while, like a presence follows me round or takes over, yet the insight remains intact (thank god)

You know when u say numbness??? do u get ne dizzy spells, balance probs etc??? could be interelated..... not sure, when i feel odd or have a weird spell, i get tingling, numbness etc...

Boy does that the mirror thing suck ass!!!!!! dammit!!!! It's like u wanna see u but u see n feel different/detached.

take care, xxxx

yeah i feel dizzy and off balance all the time now...i used t only get it occationally...but now i am like it all the time...i actually feels like someone is pushing my head and body around...

my hands and feet are continuously cold....so my circulation is not too good...i try doing as much exercise as i can but as i feel very dizzy and detached it is very awkward!

yeah the mirror is the hardest part...

looking at myself as if it is the first time i have ever seen myself...

thank you for reading and for your reply, very much appreciated

in a weird sort of way! haha!

I don't like mirrors for a totally different reason entirely. They seem to give me acid flashbacks...although thy've subsided of late.

Every time I look in the mirror, it's like I'm not seeing "me". I am surprised you guys are explaining it so well. I can't find the words to explain it. But yep, add another one down to the lists. I feel the same way too. :?

eww I get this balance thing all the time. In fact it just started a few weeks ago and it usually happens when I feel really depressed. I woke up and all at once I felt like I was walking funny. It's almost like the brain adds new symptoms to the DP mix so that you have fresh new worries all the time. Just when you conquer one freak out, the brain adds more fuel to the fire you're trying hard to put out. I get that mirror thing to. If I look at myself in the mirror long enough, I start to not look like myself, or that my face appears somehow changed. It's not a fun experience, but I don't think it's something to worry about.

Hang in there.

Sorry to hear you are feeling badly,Shadow.
Mirrors can be frightening,I agree.
I tend to sometimes do the worst possible thing.
I just stand and stare at myself hoping that suddenly I will see me again,that somehow the me I used to know will appear.
I must look like a real weirdo gazing into a mirror with a blank stare :roll:

Not easy any of it.Unfortuantely it's all part of this odd problem we have.
Best to not pay much attention to it.Same shit,different day.

Good luck, Shelly

I would like to be another person, those days. I really have trouble to live with myself. I would like so much to turn back time. There is some things that I can't tolerate that I did, or said, and I can't not be aware of it.

I hate that.

I often feel like a different person , and I will recall memories that are nor my own but they will feel like they are my own, I spose if I was going to think of a new agey theroy on this kind of stuff it may be past memory recall or something, like the mind reverting to previous states in a time of crisis, but more likely it is false memories the mind creates to deal with stress.
