I've been getting these unreality sensations my whole life. it used to be accompanied by a perceived white fog in my mind, with the temporary memory issues, then panic- etc. it happens as often as once or twice a day, to once or twice a week, but they always hit me. it was the most terrifying sh*t in the world when I was like 5 years old. I thought I was dead sometimes, or that I was a damn alien. I'd be just staring at other kids like: are they feeling this sensation too? they look completely unconcerned, it must just be me then...
something to do with brain chemicals fluctuations and extreme stress on the mind... I think of these situations as reboots for the mind/brain. and when they hit, I just escape from what I'm doing and let my brain reboot itself. sometimes it takes 30 seconds, sometimes it takes half an hour. I basically have to distract myself with simple stuff and force myself to relax.
the real scary thing is that I can kinda self-inflict these sensations, just by thinking about it.
in conclusion though, I don't think these unreality sensations are that bad or dangerous, they're just scary and take a while to get used to. when they hit me and I can't really escape the situation (at work), I tap my thumbs to fingers in opposing directions a few times... somehow this helps, Idk why:idontknow:
