It kind of weird, there are days that I will be doing normal things, but my mind will be stuck in some place in the past. Most times it starts at night, I will be studying or playing video games and suddenly my mind's eye is somewhere else. When I get these moments, my mind doesn't seem to stray from that area or place until i go to bed that night. It seems to happen when I'm anxious or nervous about something. It's never anything but places that I have been to but strangely some of the places i haven't been to in more than 20 years. It could be an overactive mind of remembering places ive been. Like I can remember places I have been sometimes a single time or a few times or like in school, places I saw everyday very well, very vividly. It doesn't keep me from doing what I need to do in life neccessarily but its very surreal. I wonder if this is some kind of OCD symptom, but even when I was 15 i remember having this.
Nothing traumatic happened in these places but i just remember where all the things were at the time.
Thanks.
