Thank you...erm, Thankyousir. Your screen name makes things a little difficult
But your opinion is very close to home, so thank you for your words. It makes sense when you say that the difference may lie either in believing it all of the time or only at certain
low moments.
Overall, the detachment is along the lines of what is classified, medically, as:
Solipsism syndrome - a state of mind in which a person begins to feel that everything is a dream and is not real.
It's like being stuck in a haze similar to going without sleep for a day or two. The best word I've found to describe it would, in fact,
be detachment; you feel so far removed from everything and everyone that you question whether they're even there or not. It's a scary feeling, a very "alone" feeling. The interesting thing, however, is that it is not constant, it is not something that invades every single day; only at seemingly random moments do they occur, I've found no solid connection between each moment just as I've found no reason that I am feeling this way.
