Am I mad? Or this is just normal?

Question

I have been thinking about weird stuff lately. Like whether I am just a psycho living in an imaginary world and has mistaken it as reality. I don't know but sometimes I find that my life has been pretty dreamy. kind of lose connection with reality.I also found that my mind is not as sharp as it used to be, but my academic performance is even better (I am a student). I wonder what has been happening, cause everything that happens make no sense to me.

I'm not sure if I am having any kind of mental disorder, but I wonder if you have such experience, or if you can suggest anything to improve my situation.

Thanks!

Answer 1

u dont have a mental disorder! (the sigh of relief is almost audible!) haha i do the same thing. like i just drift off and imagine myself doing things other than sitting in a plastic chair staring out the skool window with a vacant expression on my face. there isnt anything wrong with it. but if u are still concerned by it and want to stop doing it, the best way to do it is to shake your head, pick up something (e.g. a pen) and stare at it thinking about how penlike it is etc. or, you could centre yourself. do this by breething deeply and slowly and imagining that there is a ball of energy 5 cm in from your belly button. you can feel this ball of energy. then 'open' this ball of energy and feel how the energy is flowing through your body and down your arms and legs. it is flowing in your veins. then open your eyes and relax. that should clear your head. good luck
