Title basically. Almost like your dreaming, but awake. It’s hard to explain. Sometimes I feel like I’m just dreaming or like I’m in the Matrix or something. The feeling tends to pass, but always leaves me feeling messed up mentally for a bit. Just curious if this is somewhat common or if I should probably get help. My wife says she experiences this too. So I feel like it’s definitely not just a me thing.

    Completely normal for people to feel disassociated with the reality they are living in.

    It’s not tho.

    You’re downplaying something that may be a serious issue for OP, and then gave a no context quote of a guy who is an amazing author, but legit crazy, talking about how he suddenly felt sane when he gave into his delusions.

    I’m not saying you didn’t have good intentions…

    But your comments could legit cause serious consequences and harm.

    Because complete detachment from reality is often the first step to something worse and not the last step.
