I'm looking in the mirror and don't recognise myself...

I'm looking in the mirror and don't recognise myself. I'm also debating who is in the mirror and can't seem to definitively say that it's me. I'm not on any drugs or booze. What's happening? Should I get help?

Depersonalization.
You started to understand the ridicolousness of existence. AKA you are getting insane.

I would say go to a medical doctor that might be atypical Capgras syndrome... but then you are aware that you are seeing a mirror 's reflection so you are most likely just seek attention on internet because you have a large anxiety issues and afraid being alone.

It sure feels that way, now that you mention it. Just a minute ago I was feeling a bit more grounded though but I was also crying and trying to stave off a panic attack. It's like trying to come back down to earth is too fucking painful sometimes.

I'm aware that I'm looking at a mirror but im not grasping that the mirror is just a piece of glass reflecting my Image and not another person.

At the time anyway

This.
But wrong. Depersonalisation isn't brought on by some epiphany or new found knowledge. It's a medical issue. You should check in with a doctor.

This could mean a thousand things, it could even mean nothing and go away, but it could be a precursor to serious mental illness. Anything run in your family?

I had the same shit, but once I took a red pill I started to recognize myself.

Suffered from depression and shit, now I fuck bitches and ride cars. Nobody ever tells me shit.

yeah maybe you should talk to a specialist or get referred to one. It better to check, there could be some neurological underlying or there could be nothing but temporary thing, good luck

My dad was like an empty shell of a person, with what seemed like no personality at all, he was quite removed from everything. My mother was really paranoid, quite narcissistic and very controlling, I don't have any official knowledge just what I can gather from my experience.

what age are you?
i had that happen when i was 20 and had moved away from everyone i knew to go to college, had a pretty bad bout of depression brought on by loneliness

>I'm not on any drugs or booze.

Currently or in general user? If you've done a lot of drugs recently and then come off them, depersonalization can be a withdrawal symptom. This will pass in time.

Also how long has this been going on? Just now or for quite a while?

27, recently separated from my wife and seeing my daughter less and less, no real friends and living in homeless accomodation.

you never knew who you were in the first place. who what where and why.

then you went to school and they told you history and how things are.

once you grow up and see through the bullshit, ... i dont know who the fuck i am and where i come from. THE BEST PART is, im going to die in the next 80 years or so.

mid-life crisis is your common sense going against what everyone is telling you is right.

Not enough for a diagnosis but definitely enough for a psychiatrist to take interest.
Don't forget. Psychiatrists are medical personnel. They diagnose and prescribe not give therapy. They aren't trained or qualified for that.

I feel I have to point that out because people seem to either think psychiatrists are bullshit, or they go and cry "all they gave me was drugs". Like yeah, that's all they do. They aren't shrinks.

It’s not midlife crisis. It’s just how the modern world works.

We either rebel or surrender.

It is not you in the mirror, so you should fight and reclaim your true image, a brave knight you are supposed to be.

It's most likely connected to you being depressed and having anxiety user.
It could also be a neurological issue connected to ADD or a bunch of other things.
Go see your doctor about it and get the help you need.

Yeah you're experiencing social isolation. Go join a club for something you enjoy (art classes, dance classes, running clubs etc) and try and meet new people. Whatever friends you do have work on deepening the connection with them if you feel they're worth it.

Also whatever the root cause is of not seeing your daughter as much you need to do your absolute best to rectify. I'm not doubting that you are, but being in a bad mental state will be a factor in this.

Good luck user, sorry this shit has happened to you.

That's just a regular woman.

You are describing a type of brain damage. Every second you don't see a doctor, your chances of getting better go down

In general. Not been on meds for o couple of weeks and wasn't on them that long anyway. The depression meds they give me make me have this killer headache.

Been happening for about a year and a few months now. Sensations of floating away and a general empty feeling sometines. Like I don't exist, and then I have to look down at myself and say "you do exist, look, you're right there".

It’s not the midlife crisis. It’s just how the modern world works.

You either suffer or rebel.
It is not you in the mirror, yet your true image is still to be reclaimed. Fight against the modern world dude.

Read some Evola.

Fuck meds, you gotta fight.

I'm 27 and I'd like to have such experiences like you.

This.
I'd recommend that op figures out whether this is psychological, neurological or both.
If it's psychological, getting a cognitive behavioral therapist could be a great help.
If Neurological, medication is merited.
If it's a combination of both like my in my case, getting both treatments in whichever order merited is my advice.

I have bought a gun, hooked up a hooker and it did help

A gun and a hooker doesn't help much on psychological or neurological issues though.

Op needs help, so I bump

Dissociation. Take care of yourself. Try to stay grounded.

Help at least on psycological. As for chemistry, you know, it’s complicated. I started exercise more, releasing these serotonines and noradrenalines, ya see.

You're lucky to have those hormones, my brain never produces enough of them and I have to take a deposit version of an amphetamine derivative to function close to other peoples normal.

It’s alright. Meds won’t harm.

You are fighting a tough fight out there. Just don’t give up tiger. I could become your friend, but I happen to situate in a shithole for this moment.

I'm not scared of the meds, have been taking for almost a year with little to no side effects.
I just wish I didn't need them sometimes, but I don't wallow in that sentiment, because that doesn't change or help anything.

OP here

Thanks anons this really helps
