Surreal Reality
« on: May 09, 2006, 01:20:34 AM »
For the last couple of days it has been so weird; I can't seem to work things out right. For that matter My memory has been working more like a slideshow than a continuous stream, or rather the way I've been seeing things. I feel like the time I was put on massive painkillers by the doctor and everything just wasn't right (I was slightly high).

Anyway, has this ever happened to anyone else? Its weird, I almost feel like I'm dreaming.

human existance often crosses into waking dream states, where the impossible becomes possible and everything seems surreal.

Here comes the creepy 70's music
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I would feel that way when I was depressed, as in clinically. Not saying you are, but if it doesn't go away after a few weeks, it might be a symptom of a bigger problem.

Ditto.  When I start feeling that way, it's a huge sign I'm off my game.  

Ironically, I've been feeling that way for the last week.  Maybe it's something in the air.

You sound like me when I'm on codene.  Or masivly sleep deprived.  Wierd.
Either way, I hope life normalises soon.

I just had a surreal moment.

I was finishing my shift at work, which was hectic. Most of the problems were related to our new and improved management incompetence. Then the breakfast attendent (who I supervise until the next shift) just came up to me and quit, then walked out. This added significantly to my problems I was already dealing with. You think I would have been panicked, or upset, or even disheveled. Somehow it didn't bother me at all, I just picked-up the extra work and finished my shift without feeling stressed at all.
