ODYSSEY by domino

Verse 3

As if everything around you is foggy and blurry, as if you are trapped in your own body, trapped in a strange simulation. You might think: "WTF, I've gone mad." - but it's not psychosis... I do perceive reality, only it seems artificial. Like I'm stuck in a hazy dream.

It sounds like the experience of people who take drugs and have a bad trip... except I don't take drugs...

It is 'Derealization' and 'Depersonalization'.

=

Derealization - a mental state where you feel detached from your surroundings. People and objects around you may seem unreal. Even so, you're aware that this altered state isn't normal.

---

Depersonalization -  feeling disconnected or detached from one's self. Individuals may report feeling as if they are an outside observer of their own thoughts or body...

My advice:

I let it pass through me! The resistance increases those feelings and fear. I accept it and surrender in this black void, as if I were floating alone in a black divine ocean. I like to think that I am being carried by the Great Mother or Black Madonna and everything is fine. I let it happen and allow myself to experience it.

Other tips:

- Utilize your senses in any way possible.

- Count something in the room. Identify what they are, or say your first and last name, the name of your parents and siblings... where you went to school...

- Read, call a friend...

- Go through the 5 senses with your surroundings...
