For the past few weeks I sometimes look at my boyfriend cooking or laughing and I feel as if I am seperate in a different zone and not actually living a moment with him. I may not be explaining well but that's because it's weird. I am not sick and I don't have depression or anything as far as I know. Reply to this Question Share |

Usually it happens when we have things on our mind, issues that we haven't resolved, stress, niggling worries or even minor dissatisfaction in our lives.
Sometimes we just get that way without any real explanation to it.
I mean I get like sometimes temporarily, especially in the mornings when I'm on holidays from work. I see my girlfriend go through her morning routine and all I have to do that day is take care of the dogs and sit on my ass all day watching stuff or playing games. It can feel like she is on a separate wave length because she is. She's busily going through her routine to go to work and I'm in holiday mode.

I used o describe this when i was 13 to my best friend..." Did you ever feel like your in a plastic clear box or cube looking at everyone but they cant see you?" She said " no" i went to a therapist and realised i was suffering from detatchment due to severe stress ptsd. Please go see someone, no its not normal and no you porobably dont "feel" like anything is wrong because your body is helping you thru thus the detatchment. Please keep me posted goodluck..
