Feeling help: I’m really scared. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I’m really scared.

I’ve posted here once before, and I’m sorry to post again, but this is scaring me so much.

I stare into the mirror and a vortex engulfs me. Everything turns to paper cutouts as I slip away from my body. Tears crawl down my face.

Everything stops.

I don’t know where I am, but I feel myself sinking through the floor. The formerly solid floor.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me. The only thing I know is that I need to be sliced to pieces. To absolute, bite-sized pieces. And right now, I’m feeling more compelled than usual to do so. I want to—disturbingly—see chunks fall off my bones, see everything seep out, slowly and painfully. I am disgusting. I am not myself.

Please, someone help me. Is there anyone else experiencing the similar feelings? I feel so terribly alone… it makes me feel crazy. But I can’t be. I’m just sad and slightly out of it, right?

What happens when I do it. I don’t even realize it in my trancelike state, and I do it. No one will even notice. I’m trying to fight it.

Has anything traumatic happened in your life?
You could also be schizophrenic.

No schizophrenia, I’m almost certain.
My hobbies, which essentially used to be art and baking, are pretty much nonexistent at the moment. I can’t do anything. I can barely bring myself to change my clothes. Food revolts me. I don’t have friends, anymore. I’m an all-around uninteresting person. I just don’t know what’s wrong with me. This happens every few weeks or so.

I’ve felt the same, everything being surreal. Sometimes I just lie on the floor and everything moves around me, I crawl into corners and stare at shadows, watch my reflection on tv, I want to pull out my hair, I want to scream but I can’t, I want to open up my veins, sometimes everything goes heavy and I can’t move and feel like I will choke, sometimes all things feel interesting and I find myself touching objects as if they are alive and can feel what I feel..

“I can’t do anything. I can barely bring myself to change my clothes. Food revolts me. I don’t have friends, anymore. I’m an all-around uninteresting person.”

I guess I’m a bit like you, and I guess I’m a little crazy but I don’t worry because I’ve never done enough damage to land myself in the ER (just the police/security staff type people/random people/friends have shown there concern).

Most professionals have told me it’s panic attacks, others insist I might have had some psycotic episodes. So maybe panic attacks, but maybe you can tell a litle bit about why you say “food revolts me” disintrest? related to the act of eating it? fear of putting on weight?

I’m glad (although not so much, considering the situation) to know that I’m not alone. What you described is EXACTLY what happens. I have had panic attacks before, though, and they are very different. Lots of hyperventilating and whatnot. This is the complete opposite—I am at the epitome of calmness.

I struggled with an eating disorder before, awhile ago. When I slip into this state, it’s as if I’m being transported to another time. I can’t differentiate reality from my thoughts. I get slightly nauseous and I refuse to eat.

our mind works in seriously crazy ways that we cant control. i find myself thinking dark dark thoughts that i dont want to have but they are uncontrollable. intim it will pass, but in the mean time i would advise you to seek help. you make think this is some sort of horrendous thought your having and that no one would understand but they will, honestly, people have far more terrible crazy thoughts than yours. seek help, dont be embaressed or ashamed, you deserve to feel happy and sane and not be afraid of yoour own mind. i know how that feels its terrorfying, scared of something that is you. but you cant control part of your mind thats the truth of it. but if you focus on these thoughts worry about them they will consum you. except that you are having them, dont think you are evil or crazy because your not, you just need some help. there is nothing crazily wrong with you, yes you may have a mental illness but that can be solved just like a physical one.

i hope ive helped, just dont feel alone or ashamed or afraid. you will be okay, but talk to someone before you sink deeper into the worries that you are having.

good luck feel free to add me as a friend email me or anything im here to listen and talk.

When I was really sad I used to imagine ripping my limbs off and devouring them.

Pretty nasty, huh?

Sometimes when our subconscious minds are twisting about because of our conscious emotional feelings our minds try to bring attention to the problem so we can solve it.

You are sad. :(

You want and need help and reassurance.

You are not crazy. Trust me, you are NOT crazy.

As undiscovered said you should seek professional help. There may be a problem lurking beneath the surface that you are not aware of and professional help will bring attention to that and (hopefully) solve it.

You just need to have a nice long talk with someone who knows what they’re doing! XD

You’ll feel so much better! I promise! (I’ve been seeing a psychotherapist for a year an a half now and I no longer imagine ripping my leg off and gnawing on it. I’d say it’s progress! :D)

I came across this by google and it was from a completely random search so I feel compelled to tell you that “you are not alone” I suffered from this for 3-5 years it got so bad at one point that i was totally dissasociated from everything and anything, it is called depersonalization disorder and derealization disorder look them up there are things that you can take that make the symptoms go away I have been cured but it was a long road for me but we are all different so what worked for me could cure you or just help etc.. anyhow strange how things pop up at random and when you feel you don’t have the answer someone else does, you are not insane or losing your mind your cognitive thinking remains intact you just have obsessive thoughts that lead to the dissasociative disorder, mine started from brief moments of looking in the mirror and feeling like i was outside or behind myself looking at a stranger and one day it just stuck its horrid and gets worse when you focus on it which is hard to not do if you have underlying OCD or other underlying mental disorders anyhow check into that maybe this is the answer maybe not anyhow hope you get help!
