Discussion Have you ever feel like this as a result of negative emotions?

[InterruptedGirl]

To sum up: I have experienced strong negative emotions but, from one moment to the next, it is as if I have detached myself from the emotions. They are still there strong but they are there at a distance. It's like I put them in a box and it's like putting the box on a table and walking away a meter. the emotions are there but I am able to detach myself. I can partially decide whether to get close but if I get too close I get trapped by them. Has anyone ever tried this? Could it be dysfunctional behavior due to mental illness? Can you describe your experience and if you have a mental disorder which is it? Thanks…
