Preponderence of pressured social tenseness?

Question

Have you the feeling of an unnatural escalalation of your being ,being 'pushed' to a level of insane 'outside yourself'?-That you not no who you are?

Answer 1

I do sometimes, of course. When the "pressure consumes my anxiety", yes. Although, at all times, I remain me and therefore, know exactly who I am and it is unknown for just a couple of minutes, where the h**l I'm going.

Answer 2

I have moments where I feel like I'm outside of my body, watching myself, if that's what you mean.  I think it might be astral travel, because when I'm like this I can move things around without touching them.    But that's just a guess.

Also, when I'm near still water right before a big thunderstorm I have this feeling that I can't describe.  Like I'm more than myself.  Like I'm something more powerful and more perfect than any human being has any right to be.

It's all very strange and made me a real headcase when I was younger, but I've learned to control it... keep it from spilling over into the rest of my life.
