Hi mate, maybe you're simply perceiving the "gap" that exists between you and the others around you. You're going through a very difficult time and they probably don't understand this. Therefore, it's like there is an invisible wall which separates you from everyone else, like you're living in a different world to everyone else. That's just my guess based on what happened to me while I was at my worst.

The good news is that as you start feeling better, this sensation starts to go away, cos you start feeling more like a part of the world. It takes some getting used to though, that's all :)

Sadly yes, I feel the same and distant towards family and friends. I have felt like this a long time and have yet to feel better. Brain damaged feelings seem to be so common with us. Sorry you feel this way and hope you are better soon, but many others are experiencing the same.

its weird you know who they are, but my brain cant make its mind up if it does or not.....has a life of its own i mean nobody forgets who their friends and family are..its is scary...but as you all say its prob yet another anxiety symptom...grrr...and tablets aint a cure either...just a help
