my arn't we high brow tonight.


anyway, I'm often feeling right now like nothing is real, I' watching everything around me happen but not participating and/or like I'm dreaming. I dont know how much of this is my slightly strange mental state and how much is actually happening. So, am I dreaming or are you/we all real?!

[StripyPixieSocks]

Oddly I have felt exactly the same as you at several times in my life and usually it coincides with an episode of depression and I think people who live with (I dislike the word suffer) depression quite often get lost in their own thoughts and indeed in some circles it is thought that people with depression have it because they think too much.

I don't know I have a mixture of odd thoughts and beliefs but if I pinch myself it bloody hurts *OUCH*

Sometimes when I have been at breaking point with depression I have gotten through minute by minute, hour by hour by seemingly viewing my life from an almost dream-state and from outside my body so I can think clearly... hard to describe but as far as I know we are real but then who knows!

The bouts of depression I have suffered left me feeling this way also, I explined it to my doc that it was like watching through a goldfish bowl at every thing happening

Yep, I know the feeling, too. All my life I've felt like I was an onlooker at some strange experiment... Unfortunately, life sometimes insists that I take an active part in this experiment.

Perhaps we should talk to the mice about it......

I was thinking that, too!

And the dolphins, of course. Thanks for all the fish...

I prefer a bowl of petunias myself.

[Wombat]

Works for me!
