Feeling like a stranger in my own body

YES!! it’s actually a relief to hear someone else experience this. it’s really scary but much less scary knowing it happens to others

I have times where I can move my body and feel my body but it’s like I’m floating- or I’m not completely inhabiting it. The mirror is a weird experience for me too. Once during a weird spiral I looked in the mirror at myself and became so scared of the person staring back at me that I managed to convince myself it wasn’t me and I freaked the heck out of myself. I knew it was me deep down, but it was a horrifying experience. Sending support friend ❤️

Yes I felt so scared when I looked in the mirror and didn’t really recognize myself I thought that I looked like someone else I thought I was going crazy

yes i understand this a lot

Yess, best first comment. The f'd up thing for me is I feel comfortable looking in the mirror although it feels somewhat foreign but as soon as I look away I feel like a different person entirely.

Yea. I feel you. I miss my sense of self and being able to look in the mirror and recognize the reflection. You will be ok I promise. It is hard, but through this struggle you will gain so much strength.
