I was in a cleaning mood last night...doesn't happen often.
But, I was cleaning my dog's plastic tub out that I store her food in. Cleaned the inside and outside of it out.
But, as I was cleaning it, it was like I wasn't really cleaning it...like I didn't seem 'in the moment'. Like, I'm cleaning it, but I don't feel like I am cleaning it...just going through the motions and not doing a good job.
It felt weird...don't think I have knowlingly experienced that before.
I know I didn't eat/drink good yesterday....Maybe a disassociation experience??

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Chronic depersonalization refers to depersonalization disorder which is classified by the DSM-IV as a dissociative disorder. Derealization is a similar term to depersonalization, and the two are often used interchangeably. However, more specifically, derealization is the feeling that "nothing is real," while depersonalization is the feeling that one is "detached" from one's body or world. Though these feelings can happen to anyone, they are most prominent in anxiety disorders, clinical depression, bipolar disorder, and some types of epilepsy.
