A member asked:

I feel like my body doesn't belong to me and i'm living in a dream. i feel so distant like i'm floating above myself. any ideas on what's happening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You're feeling out: of body dissociation. You need a mental health counselor to talk to and Psychiatric help. You may need medication to control this. I don't think melatonin is causing this, but I can''t be sure,so stop it for now.
