wow. I used to feel like I didn't have a head and I thought I was the only person who experienced that. Don't worry, that's normal I guess... lol
It used to drive me NUTS. I used to feel like I would reach up to touch my head and I wouldn't have one. Very hard to explain but really weird.
In this case I think it's just anxiety. You feel maybe light-headed so because your nervous system is so aggitated you have unrational thoughts such as "Oh wow do I even have a head?" and then you freak out because you're so vulnerable to those thoughts that it produces a fearful sensation that makes the whole "I dont have a head" thought seem so true to form.
Don't worry. This is just anxiety getting the best of you.
Like Janine said, when I experienced weird symptoms like this, I would say, "There I go again..." and try my best to ignore it.
The key is not reacting to your thoughts so eventually you don't fear them anymore. Fear is powerful, it produces amazing real-feeling sensations. The brain is so amazing like that.
Shadowness just think of it like this... ok?
Aggigated nervous system = anxiety
anxiety/uncomfortable symtpoms such as being light-headed, trembling, nausea, etc. = unrational thoughts (for example: I don't have a head!!!)
unrational thoughts = fear
fear = "wow this FEELS so REAL"
It's important to look at it in that way otherwise you're telling yourself, "I don't really have a head!"and you're forgetting why you even had that thought in the first place. Notice how it DOES start with a thought. Thoughts are VERY very very influentional to the brain. Someone once said, "You are what you think" It MAY 'feel' like you don't have a head, but you had the scary thought first due to anxiety like feelings.
Shadowness, you have a head but you're the only person who is going to be able to convince yourself of that. So stop reacting to your thoughts. This is very hard. But constantly working at it is the key. Just keep in mind next time why you had the scary thought.
One more thing - if you went up to a non-anxious person and said, "Hey do you ever feel like you don't have a head?" they would think about it, the reasoning part of their brain would say, "uhh... no??? what are you talking about??" and they would probably laugh. This is what anxiety does to you. Go up to a person with anxiety and ask them the same question. The reasoning part of their brain is fucntioning at a much lower level because the "Fight or flight" part of their brain has full control because they always feel frightened. Of course they're not going to be able to reason with themselves to say "No! That's silly!!" Even if they've never felt that before, the THOUGHT ALONE could produce a sense of fear within them.
Next time you "feel" like you don't have a head... keep this in mind sweetheart.
