Your post comes through. Can you try really looking around at your surroundings? Notice the details of the color, texture, shape, etc. Touch something meaningful to you?
Take care,

> I feel detached ... am i really here?
This could be an episode of derealization (and possibly depersonalization). This happens to me when my anhedonia/depression and anxiety/stress reach maximums at the same time. You might want to try reducing the anxiety/stress component temporarily to see if it helps. This might involve medication and/or psychological coping tools. If it does help, you might be able to better manage these episodes once they appear in the future.
It is very uncomfortable and disturbing. I experienced constant depersonalization and derealization for quite a few years. It is more episodic now.
