It's just amazing how the body just really shuts down and just really starts to manifest into you not only just psychological pain, but physical.
Imagine feeling like a stranger in your own body, as if you're watching your life from the outside. That's what depersonalization feels like, and it's a reality John Smith knows all too well. In this episode, John opens up about his struggle with this unsettling mental state, where he felt detached from his thoughts, emotions, and identity. It's not just a mental fog; it's a profound sense of disconnection that affected his daily life, especially during his high school years.
John describes it as living on autopilot, a zombie-like existence where everything felt distant and unreal. He shares how this condition brought both psychological and physical pain, making it hard to cope with everyday activities. But John's story isn't just about the struggle; it's about finding ways to manage and overcome these feelings. He emphasizes the importance of seeking professional help and practicing self-care, offering hope to those who might be facing similar challenges.
If you've ever felt disconnected or know someone who has, John's journey provides valuable insights and a reminder that you're not alone.
