Do you guys sometimes feel detached from reality?
So I've recently been having this weird feeling that I am somehow detached from this world.
OK, maybe "detached" is not the best word I could use.
It's really hard to explain, but when I'm walking without thinking anything (too tired to think anyways), I feel kind of unconscious (?) for a while and feel like I'm not noticing anything around me.
When people walk beside me, I would normally look at them and kind of make some judgments in my head for fun, but I don't really do that these days. Their presence is so meaningless to me and I don't process any information. So I feel detached in this sense.

It's like there's this cloud in my brain that are constantly blocking my thought processing.

Sometimes I wonder if I have some sort of a mental disorder or something.
Anyways.. have you guys ever experienced this? Like.. I was wondering today whether this is how Schizophrenics feels (ofc I have never experienced hallucinations lol).

Am I just being apathetic because I'm so mentally burnt out lately?

Have you been feeling this way just recently? It could be stress, you're maybe overwhelmed with work. How much sleep are you getting each night for the past 7 days? Are you eating healthy?

Outside of those basic things, getting enough sleep and eating right, it could be you've lost the drive or passion for your work, things becoming routine or not exciting. Maybe not sure what your next big goals are, sounds like you might need some goals to strive towards, having a sense of purpose and determination for why you're at school.

What are your goals in life? What's your dream job? What do you enjoy doing outside of school work?
