I was wondering if you all find yourself zoning out frequently,, Like with a blank stare off into space. even when you are dong somthing just all of the sudden find yourself in a blank stare.

I am beggining to wonder if I need to go get an ECG, probably just my imagination running away again.

Zoning out? :shock: .....Me...never. What we're we talking about again?

Yes, I zone out a lot. :?

 

[MrMortgage]

I'm a zoner! LOL

 

[peacedove]

Yes, all the time. And then sometimes I get people who think I'm staring at them, but I really don't even see them, I'm just spacin' out.

This girl got all pissed at me once cuz she thought I was checkin' out her boyfriend.

my teachers labled me 'troubled' and a 'daydreamer' because of this. i do admit i do alot of daydreaming, but the zoning out is not that at all. because when it happens im not thinking at all. i just go completely blank. i was told by a doctor that i was probably having petit mal seizures. but ive never followed up on it. besides all they will do is put me on meds and i really want to put my guineapig days behind me.

Hi there,
How's this for "ZONING OUT"? I have found myself stairring at a sprinkler in my front yard for about 10 minutes before I realized what I was doing. Once I did the same thing with the agitator on my washing machine. It seems like it doesn't take much for me to zone out. Sheesh

I wish you peace,

Tony

Thats what I am talking about.... exactly.... Is that just part of DP/DR or do I dare say is that something that we should get checked out by a neurologist?

 

[bright23]

It happens to me when I'm obsessing and completely lost in my own thoughts, when I'm out of it and not participating with the real world. Then I come back to reality picking at a zit in the mirror or some such thing.

If I went to the neurologist every time this happened...

 

[lemontea]

Yes, sometimes...But that happened to me even before my dp/dr started...Actually, I think it happened more often then.

 

[fingertingle]

Yeah. I zone out so much that I lose track of time. Especially when reading or something. I think it's pretty normal, especially of "our kind."
