The past hour and a half I experienced what I think was a dissociative episode; I felt incredibly outside myself and my mind felt dizzy. This used to happen more frequently if I was overly stimulated (ie: busy stores and shopping malls) but this time it came about sporadically while I was relaxing at home and much more severe. It was incredibly unnerving and I did not know how to cope other than to lay down in bed and try not to have a panic attack from the disconnecting sensations. It’s since subsided and I now have a headache and feel a bit ill/exhausted. 

Has anyone experienced this? How do you cope? How do you feel afterwards? I’m not sure what to make of it all as I’ve never experienced an episode like this before. 

Thanks!!
