I don't feel connected to my body.

[Blore]

Hey everyone, i've had some trouble with this for a long time. The thing is well, I don't feel connected to my body.

It's kind of hard to explain, but I don't feel connected to it, I kind of feel like my mind is trapped inside it, and my body kind of serves as a wall when it comes to other people. I have trouble connecting to other people as well. I feel like this ball of energy that can't connect or mesh with other energies. I guess basically I feel trapped in my body, and because of that I feel trapped and disconnected from the world.

It feels like blocked energy I think, or something.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

did you experience a lot of pain in your life? Mostly by the people you'v interacted with that caused you to retreat further within yourself?

Well not exactly pain, but when I was 2 years old, my sister was born, and she has autism, So took up a lot of my mom's time, and she kind of dictated what we do. My dad worked away, so he wasn't around a lot so I'm kind of disconnected when it comes to him. I never really had a lot of friends either.

That all sounds so 'First world problems."

What happens when you exercise? Does the feeling increase or decrease or stay the same? How about when you take a shower?

It sounds like you've unconsciously detached yourself. There could be a number of reasons. Poor self-image, not finding fun in day-to-day activities, depression.. Or could it be a way of dealing with abuse for you to be feeling like this?

In my youth I experimented with various antihistamines for seasonal allergies, everyone of them made me feel disconnected, couldn’t take them.

no suggestions just empathy. I know how you feel and have felt that way for years myself.

Have you challenged your self recently?

Setting goals that you are passionate about will give you energy from within to pursue them. See what happens.
