      @FS_cookielove it’s so hard to describe to someone that says “man up” I literally run out of tears sometimes

      It’s not ‘normal’ but it’s common. I relate :) so you’re not alone there!

      It is normal it’s like being trapped in a glass bubble or looking through someone else’s eyes and not being in control

        @Ja80 I like that, I usually say drunk you can think clearly and move but it doesn't seem to connect or function properly and you can forget things the next day

        @Ja80 also, I really like that analogy too! It really can feel like beimg trapped in bubble or looking through someone else's eyes

          @carter._.16 that’s the only way I can describe it from my own experience

      It’s normal for me too! I feel very fuzzy and when it’s over I can’t really remember what I did in that state
