Feel broken and dead

[tpman]

Hi,

I won’t get into what caused it since I have already in other threads but Inhave this feeling of being a broken man. Almost dead inside. I don’t recognise my former self and sometimes look at my loved ones with a sense of confusion as if they are strangers.

Can anyone relate to these feelings of dissociation/derealisation if indeed that’s what it is.

I like I’m living in some kind of bubble and it’s awful .

Hello tpman

this is my first post..... I have a n approach when I get foggy and dissociative. It is to do with overwhelm and also a stressed head because I’ve been clenching my teeth too much and it causes my brain to go foggy and become disconnected..... I go to the myotherapist and an osteopath to reduce the ache in my jaw.

i know this doesn’t deal with the emotional stuff but it is a physical way I can contribute to my own wellness and better functioning.....

in terms of being dissociative, when I am in this space that you are describing, I am like a deer in headlights. I easily dismiss close friendships that when I am well, I know they are tremendously important to me..... are you getting support?

from what I understand, dissociative behaviour is a feature of C-ptsd..... knowing this, brings me calm.... and makes me not feel so screwed up, if that makes sense. Be kind to yourself
