I feel really strange?

[FullyAlive]

Im not really sure if this is in the right place but, basically I've felt weird all day, kind of like out of it, like I'm not really there. I hear people talking to me and I hear myself replying but I feel like it's not really me replying like it's someone else. It's the same with actions all day I've felt like someone else is doing everything I am even now I feel as if it's not really me typing. Will this feeling wear off?
I ended up cutting just to make sure i was*really here I've never cut for that reason before and I was just wondering if anyone felt the same if that was normal?

It sounds like dissociation. It will wear off. Don't worry about it. Try not to cut yourself. You'll be okay.

Thanks but I can't not cut, it helps it's the only thing that proves I'm still me, no one else would do this, so it must be me. Even if I don't feel like it is, cutting means it is. right?

Well do you plan on quitting someday? Cutting may seem like it's the best solution but it isn't. I really hope you quit. There are many people here which have quit cutting, including myself, that are willing to help you.

In regards to your first post, that sounds like dissociation. Or depersonalization or derealization. All of those sound like what you said.

If that normal? Oh, yeah. In fact, a small part of cutters only cut to "feel real". It's normal. It's bad, but normal. Try and stop. If you need to feel real, pinch yourself. Slap yourself. Go on a long run and feel the pain/happiness of that. Do something else to not cut.

If course it could be something more serious, but if this is the first time it's happened maybe it's just a bit of dizziness for whatever reason.

Due to my eating disorder and having an illness that causes dizziness I end up feeling like what you explained a lot of the time. It's an odd sensation caused by lack of oxygen, blood supply, or nutrients being sent to the brain. In extreme situations i've been known to have mild hallucinations. It's nothing to do with mental illness though, all physical. Is this at all possible? Just a suggestion :)

Jesse and Mark what I meant was this was the first time I've cut to feel real even if I didn't cut because of that again, there are still other reasons I am trying to stop but it's not that easy sorry :/

Kathy I'm not really sure I wouldn't rule out that suggestion but I'm not sure what would have caused it I'd eaten and wasn't ill so I'm not sure :/

It's gone now it wore off last night, so I'm ok for now :)

If this happends again, I would suggest seeing a doctor to see if something is up. Just to be safe than sorry!

[FullyAlive]

It's not something that I think I should bother a doctor with, it's not causing me harm it's just a little scary.

I'm pretty sure it's dissociation, It usually goes after a while, but keep an eye on it because it can develop, and a lot of people who have 'alters' find that these come through when they are dissociated, so If it develops see a doctor :)

I feel that way too sumtimes

[FullyAlive]

It happened again it was only for an hour or so this time, but I felt weird like everything I was saying or doing wasn't my idea it was someone elses. It's really starting to scare me I cut my leg quite a lot, I thought it might stop it? it didn't.
Basically if it is this dissociation what can I do to stop it? I can't go to a doctor though no matter what.

Unfortunatley theres not much you can do to stop it, I would suggest just trying to stay grounded, find something and focus on every aspect of it, noting the feel, smell, look, and even sound or taste depending on what it is, Notice all of these things, but then let them go, don't get caught on the thought train, use the what (observe, describe, participate) and the how (non-judgmentally, one-mindfully, effectivley) skills.
