This is new for me

Hi everyone i was wondering if someone could tell me what this is so i'll just start talking. Lately my body (mainly my arms) have been feeling disassociated with my body as if they were not there no matter what im doing. I can sense that they are there and i know that they are there but i don't physically feel them. I have to look down to actually remind myself that i have arms, lol. Also only on about three occasions over the past year i have felt like i was fully separated from my body but still in control of it at the same time (and fully conscious). I've described it to other people as being literally behind myself. I could see the back of my head and my body walking and at the same time i saw out of my physical eyes. It only lasted for about 5 seconds each time until i realized that something was strange. So if anyone has any advice or an explanation of what this is I would really appreciate it.

I believe this is called 'autoscopy'.  I recommend that you see a medical practicioner since it could be a symptom of a type of epilepsy that doesn't give you 'fits',  but causes precisely the type of symptoms you just described.  It doesn't mean there is something wrong, but it's best checked out, I think.
