Derealization

[anxiousgirl7]

I have been dealing with this out of reality dream like state for 3 years! I don’t understand why it won’t go

Derealization/depersonalization is real. It's the worst feeling to feel disconnected from yourself and has this self-awareness. Feeling out of sorts and "not there or here". However, you are not going crazy. You are not alone. Focusing on something other than yourself helps i.e. watching a good positive program or movie. Talking with a behavioral therapist. Realizing what makes you anxious and dealing with issues appropriately. Know what you can change and what you can't. Don't let people decide your value or define who you are. You can not please everyone and not everyone understands what you are experiencing. Praying that you are healed.

Is the dream state continuous or does it come and go? I have the same thing and its all day every day but it gets slightly better at night. Do you remember what started your derealization?
