Disassociating.
June 26, 2011
It’s quarter to 5am and I’m laying in bed wide awake. I’ve tried everything including laying in the chair on my balcony -is it just me or is it always easier to sleep in unusual places?- anyway, no luck. Any time I begin to drift off I feel like I’m launched out of my body, suspended for a few seconds while I try to grasp what’s happening, and then dropped back down just as fast and jolted awake again. For a while after even, I still have the odd sensation that something is off…my hand is my hand, but it isn’t. Everything feels new but vaguely familiar, although I know it is.
This is making no sense at all. Has anybody else ever experienced depersonalization?
