Ever Feel Disconnected From Yourself?

   Posted by: jude   in Senior Health

I really dislike being in the state of mind that seems to be overpowering me at the moment. I seem to be suspended somewhere outside myself, I can’t seem to make a connection to what I’m thinking or feeling so I am in limbo or so it feels. My body functions from day to day and I get through each one as it arises, but nothing really makes sense. Yes, I know it’s some form of depression, but for the moment I seem without power to help myself and sometimes I just don’t care.

I’m always amazed when I wake up and see that I’m still in the same body with the same familiar surroundings. Everyone seeks for the purpose and meaning of their life, many fulfill themselves through religion and God, others find truth in helping their fellow man and the reality of the earth they see before them by striving to save the planet. Many just seem to drift seeking, but never really finding, flitting from one illusion to another.

I think it’s great that each day brings choices and decisions that we must make that will affect our future life and even those around us. We have the power to make anything possible when we believe and what happens when we no longer believe or have hope of effecting a positive change? I don’t think I would ever commit suicide because I don’t understand the concept of ending it all, I don’t think anything is ever ended, I think that source of energy simply returns to the original source and is recycled into another channel.

Today I don’t know what I think or feel or even believe so I feel like I’m in limbo and I don’t like it, perhaps tomorrow I’ll snap out of it.

First I agree that nothing ever ends. It is as you’ve said recycled and is constantly changing. I however do know how you feel. For the last couple of months I’ve felt that limbo. I feel like a floundering fish. Not knowing which way to go. So, I keep on with my daily routines and hope I will also snap out of this.

You’ve been through a lot this year, and it takes time to adjust. As long as you are eating and dressing –pretty much existing, then you should snap out of it. If you find that you aren’t coping with everyday things–like getting out of bed or dressing or showering, maybe you should seek some help. Everyone needs some help sometimes. Hugs, pally.

Hi Joanne,
I hate to hear that you are experiencing the same thing at this time and I hope we can both snap out of it soon. I’ll certainly say a prayer for us both.

Thank-you Lin for your words and the hug. I do go through my daily routine, but it’s weird and hard to explain the feelings I have at this time. I’m sure I’ll work through this disconnection if not I will seek help.

Judy, it sounds like what I’ve been through off and on for years. In my case it’s a chemical imbalance in the brain and diagnosed as depression. If you don’t feel better in a couple weeks, definitely see your doctor. There are so many things that can be done to help these days! Hang in there hon!

Sounds pretty tough. But so are you. You’ll get through it when you are ready to feel emotions again. Until then, you are cocooned.

What if…feeling disconnected with your ’self’ might actually be a useful thing? What if…the ’self’ you’re feeling estranged from is only a superficial impression of something more ‘real’, more profound, more natural? What if…disconnection from the ’self’ allows you to experience the connection with the ‘Self’/ultimate reality? Would you still feel disconcerted?

Hi Anna I was diagnosed with unipolar many years ago and took medication for years because I was in a constant state of sadness, but the feelings I have now are different, not sad just disconnected and weird.

Thank-you Jan for your comment and I know this will pass eventually.

Lucy I would love to connect with my true reality and have been trying to do that for years, but there always seems to be some kind of block.

Thank-you Sant feeling happy would be nice.

I know that feeling. sometimes I just want to be somewhere else but not sure where…I know it is part of the mourning process. It comes and goes. But it is getting less I think.Hope it gets less for you:-)

I also feel the same lately, sometimes I imagine how if I’m in someone else shoes, it might be more interesting. I’m still fighting for this feeling, hopefully we can solve this problem :)
