Feeling like I'm going crazy

Sometimes I don’t know if I’m spacing out and doing this because how symptoms the books talk about don’t fit exactly how I feel. But I feel weird. Especially something traumatic just happened. And thing around me like objects and people look really big or really small. My skin feels like it’s gonna melt. I think I’m going crazy.

Depersonalization is a common symptom of extreme stress. You’re not going crazy. Your mind is making you disconnect from yourself in an effort to protect you from the trauma. It is a weird sensation but knowing the reason behind it helps me a little

if something traumatic happened to you, you’re not crazy. everything you’re feeling is valid and it’s good that you’re willing to reach out for help.
