Not Yourself....But Someone Else...

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 :)

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.
