> i posted a message on last months posts about a constant derealization/depersonalization feeling that i have constantly and have had for 1 year and 3 months. i am so tired all the time mentally and physically. for those of you that have never heard the term before, it is a feeling of unreality, like you are living in a waking dream. i would love some support and advice for dealing with this, along with some testimonials for those of you that experience this disorder, or forms of it. thank you very much, rene'
Rene',
I think I have experienced the same symptoms of derealization/depersonalization you describe. I am also tired all the time, but then again, I have a physical illness as well. Do people comment on your being distant? I have the sense of derealization. Yes . . . a dream-like feeling. It often happens when I have a bad memory. I become very distant and have great difficulty focusing. I become sort of vegetable-like. It's difficult to control. I went through a lot of abuse and neglect as a child. I do not have the feeling constantly, I have had it off and on since I was in my early teens. I'm not sure if this just goes a long with being fragmented. Do you think we are talking about the same thing? Please let me know.
