Yes I tend to feel spaced out quite a lot of the time- I have been today definitely. I feel like I'm walking around on a cloud of air and feel like I don't really belong whever I am, maybe just walking down the street. It's a very odd feeling and not very nice but it's definitely something that comes with depression as I have been finiding out

Yes ive had that spaced out / out of touch from reality feeling.
I do suffer from depression so probably it is a sign.
If you are very low you probably are depressed and as your counsellor said anxious - (with me the two come together).

Yes this is called dissociation disorder. It is very common in those of us who suffer from depression a PTSD or anxiety. It is our brains natural way of coping with the hormonal changes our body endures during these mood swings. If it weren't for these times of dissociation we would be overcome by our depression and or anxiety and very likely end up in a nervous break down or attempting suicide. If these bouts of dissociation become more frequent and or interfere with your ability to function on a regular basis you should seek medical attention, although you may want to look into homeopathic hormonal stabilizers before accepting any mood altering medications as they tend to make the problem worse with side affects and dependencies.

I get that a bit on Prozac - it's a question of dose. You just adjust the dose until the spaced-outness is manageable.
A good description of depression is the feeling that you're staring into a mine shaft, just a deep dark hole, no light, no bottom, no echo. Is that how you're feeling? If so, I'd call it depression.

yeah, i get that all the time. like i'm watching myself from outside of myself. like i'm detached from everything that is going on. it's like a lack of feeling. i'll be bawling my eyes out and not even feel anything, like it's not me. it's hard to explain.
i don't know what it is or what causes it, but it happened to me in like 11th grade when i started to have a lot of problems and then it went away. recently it started again, i think it is my body's way of protection against all the stress i am going through.
i was diagnosed with depression around the time it started. i was taking medication but stopped, and trust me, if i had insurance i would be taking it now.
but i am glad that someone else also feels that way, i thought it was just me. i guess i'm not as much of a freak as i thought.

Of course, it's very common! I suffer from bipolar so I swing from ureal highs to devistating lows, sometimes they are even mixed (those are the scary times when I do not trust myself & I have to stay in constant contact w/a trusted friend or my mental health workers. Please talk to a psychiatrist. They know the ropes. Mine saved my life by finally getting me on the right meds, even though we still have to change up at times. Good luck...I know it's hard!

Anxiety is not spaced out. Anxiety is like feeling like you couldn't stop moving, like there was something wrong... or like you couldn't have any control of your life.
Getting spaced out/out of touch is more like just giving up.
