does anyone else feel like they are actually trapped inside their head?
not the kind where you only think about yourself, but the kind where things are fuzzy a lot of the time, and blurry. you cant seem to connect. you're there but then you're not and you dont remember much at all. its really hard to explain.
im feeling really isolated from everyone and trapped, its getting me into a really dark spot, i cant communicate to people i know. i feel like i just dont exist, not because i dont talk to anyone, but because i dont feel the world. sorry for the rant, you dont have to reply, it really helped to be able to say it here in the haven.

That sounds like dissociation + severe depression.

Yes, I feel that often. It can be bloody scary, but it's good for writing...

Basically see a psychiatrist/take medicine and see a therapist. Do you see anyone about these issues?

Well you're welcome, I just wish I could help. I've had VERY bad experiences with those things as well but very GOOD also and I believe it's worth it to keep trying other varieties of medicine or other therapists until you find medicines/professionals that DO help you.

I agree with purchase.
It can be hard to find the right doctor and the right medications, but it's worth it to keep trying. I don't know how to deal with this without help ... and it is such a horrible feeling.

you all have really good points. i just feel like to just hope to grow out of it and be able to really wake up, and things will make sense, and the wires will finally connect but it doesnt seem to be the case. its like when i grew up i didnt develop something important. i hope that the perseverance will pay off, as i always worry about long term.
i will take your advice and go back to the doctor, even though i dont like trying to communicate. i really appreciate you listening to me and helping, it means a lot to not be seen as strange too. its hard to find people in real life who can understand what you're talking about
