I often get this feeling, but never did before I got ill. Sometimes people can be talking to me and I know what they are saying but it kind of goes over my head and sometimes I find myself just staring at their lips and it all sounds so fast like chatter, chatter. Also when I go out into town or something sometimes everything is normal and other times it all seems a bit surreal if that makes any sense but I can even feel like that when Im at home in my own surroundings. Lets face it this illness in itself is a bit surreal and sometimes you cant believe it yourself. When I get these feelings I find it hard to concentrate and sometimes want to be on my own, afraid of how I'll appear to other people. Its almost like you know your not insane but at the same time dont feel normal like you imagine others do.
