“I have this strange thing where i am stuck outside my head, or my head is just completely gone. I struggle to Feel my own presence inside my head and body! I can only see some small images outside my head and i have a tiny monologue that speak, but otherwise i am completely empty in my mind. Do you Feel like you are inside your head? I dont. I dont know where my thougts are coming from. I try to daydream, but there is no pictures because i am not inside my head because the thinking space there is gone It feels like i have no head and that my eyes are too big for my small brain! I have no thinking space in my head behind my eyes that i can see or feel. I Feel like my eyes are floating in air! I have huge cognitive issues and i am devoid of all emotions. Just a robot and total zombie. Even though i am stuck outside my head, i dont Feel present or focused at all. This is some strange mind limbo where i cant Feel my head or mind or thougts. I Feel utterly spaced out. I also have no emotions what so ever! Which is really scary! I Feel cut off from the world! It is all so blunted and hidden away! Never a true emotional reaction! Cant Feel connected to anything! Anyone else struggle with the same?”
