lately i've been getting really confused about what is real and what isn't. sometimes i forget who i am talking to or what i am saying. i'm always really worried when i am talking to someone that i am actually talking to someone else and ihave to look around to see where i am to make sure i am talking to the right person. that's been happening since i was like 8 or 9 and i'm almost 18 now. i'm on mood stabilizers and antianxiety meds and an antipsychotic, but do you know if there is anything else that would help this? i really hate it, it feels so weird. does this happen to anyone else?

happens to me too. sometimes i have to stop what i'm saying because i become convinced i'm not even there and no one can hear me only to be given odd looks as to why i've stopped mid-sentence. other times i know exactly what i want to say but as soon as i start saying it i forget what i'm talkng about.
i don't know what helps. it's a questiong for me of saying grounded and i'm not managing that too well at the mo but know that you're not alone

oh woah. i was so confused when i was little because i thought i was crazy. and i wondered why everyone else wasn't confused. well good, i feel better now. yeah i was really confused today. it seems to happen like in the morning an at night and i have no idea why. i'm like perfectly fine in the afternoon. it's so weird.

this definitely happens to me from time to time...when i get thinking about problems usually it tends to happen more...i wonder if i'm even real...if i'm just dreaming...why do i exist? etc. I'll have random moments where I totally daze out

Whoa! I have experienced some stuff a little like this and I had NO IDEA it was related to the BPD - this is a huge eyeopener for me. But it makes sense that it is part of trying to deal with overwhelming emotions...

yep, did this alot. Until the PDoc got my meds tweaked just right. Now there are times I don't want to be aware & I can't remove myself; and that frustrates me too.
