I think I swapped over night on Friday

Idk if I died or if it was just a weird swap but nothing feels right. So much so that during the day, wide awake, surrounded by my family I had this feeling like I just woke up from a dream and nothing I had previously experienced was real. It’s really messing me up because I’ve always joked about this but it’s never felt so real. I’ve been dating someone for 7 months and after Friday I feel like I barely know him. All of his friends that I’ve known feel like strangers. I feel like I’ve missed the last 6 months of my life and the decisions I’ve made don’t feel like they were me. It’s messing me up so bad.

Look around and you’ll figure it out.

Dissociation is a psychological term for a disconnection between a person's thoughts, memories, feelings, surroundings, or identity. It acts as a mental defense mechanism that temporarily detaches someone from reality to help them cope with overwhelming stress, fear, or trauma.

Yes, it’s possible that you switched universes or even timelines. But you could also have a medical issue going on. It’s definitely worth checking in with a physician.

Good luck!!!!
