Sometimes I have these "episodes" when I feel extremely weird, detached from reality. A feeling of emptiness invades me, and all I want to do is lay in bed and sleep, perhaps get a break from existence. Usually it happens when I achieve something I wanted at all costs. But lately (maybe since 2023) these moments are more frequent. It bothers me, as I lack the energy to do basic things (chores, cleaning, cooking, etc.), let alone pursue my interests or do anything at all. Right now I feel another "episode" is surging. If that's the case, I would like to know what you lainons think or suggest. Thanks, and sorry if this doesn't make much sense. I have trouble expressing myself sometimes.

Sounds like a low-key version of psychosis. Depression. All one and the same really. I would advise you to read the book "Brain Energy" by Chris Palmer, MD, and the works of the late great Ray Peat on bioenergetics and brain function: https://raypeat.com/articles/ . Having a purpose is also helpful, but it is not a great thing to recommend to someone who is already struggling violently on the biological level. Fiddling with diet and the like can be extremely helpful to those who have turned a blind eye to it (or worse, have counterfactual imposed thoughts about good conduct within it), but is hardly the end of the practice of feeling good and doing well. Best of luck.

Something similar has been happening to me. I'd say it's like derealization, but I'm not sure. I feel like nothing is worth it, like a transcended soul stuck in a body. Everything looks strange. Sorry for the bad explaination, I really can't describe it well, but I'm thinking on getting myself hospitalized. I don't want to die or cease to exist, but I also do not wish to live, not like this. I hope you're ok.
