Detachment

[melvin]

Hi Guys
Anyone going though this feeling detached from the outside world
And how do you cope and what can you do to bring back attention

There's a whole sub board dedicated to it (DP/DR) under Symptoms. It would be worth seeing what they say for some more specific advice. It's quite common in high anxiety periods and post panic attack.

Grounding techniques are used to help with this.

Gosh, wish I had that. Sounds way better than HA! (Actually, I had it once during my most recent - and worst - panic attack and it was horrible).

Yep, it sounds nice but it just triggers more anxiety. It's ironic considering it's a mechanism to deal with too much anxiety.
