what is depersonalization?

for 20 år siden 0 +0 / -0 30

I have to admit that the "Derealisation" is the hardest and most terrifying part of this disorder for me. I feel as if I'm some kind on non-existant thing that's just looking IN on life. Like perhaps I'm dead, and hovering in a world that doesn't recognize me or something? It's the oddest feeling I've ever experienced, and I still struggle with trying to not freak out over it. I've come a long way, and I pretty much accept it most times now. I know it's a symptom, and I'm not going insane or anything. But sometimes it still exaperates me, and I start to worry.

Mudslinger thanks so much for replying. Its a relief to know somebody else has experienced that wierd tunnel thing. I think you are right. I was bored but also I think I was a little scared of this person and what they were talking about and maybe just wanted to tune out....

I've had that tunnel vision feeling thing, yep it is hard to explain it. i think that happens though as part of that fight or flight response, where your eyes become more alert, i think they let more light in or something, ready to spot any dangers. For me i sometimes feel as if i'm not blinking, and my eyes become sore, when that happens, and its usually in the middle of an attack i'm having. Maybe when that man was talking to you, and that happened, you were just bored. People do switch off when somebody is talking to you and they are boring the pants of you, or talking about train spotting or something. (whoops, that me upsetting any train spotters out there)tee hee. Best wishes Mudslinger uk

I don't know whether I have had it or not but I have had some pretty freaky experiences in my time. I have had this feeling where I will be in a situation, this one time i was talking to this guy I had just met, I was sitting on the couch and he was standing talking to me...it felt more he was talking at me....and I had this sensation that I was in a tunnel looking at him....and what he was saying was like all slow and stuff and I felt like I was really going crazy. I felt like I was affected by a drug or something. Like I am in a trance...almost as if I am just my head and my body isn't there...and my vision kind of goes all wierd like a tunnel and I can't focus on anything and I am not hearing what is being said. Its like im cut off from what is happening around me....it is a very scary feeling. Oh...its sounds wierd...its so hard to explain..... That particular feeling has only happened once or twice...other than that I have had at times a feeling that people who are close to me look foreign and I feel a bit wierd. But has anyone had the wierd tunnel experience?

Hi all Thanks for that. After reading all your post about this thing called depersonalization, i realised that this is what keeps happening to me, its one of the things that set me off the most, mainly i think because i didnt realise it was part of the panic cycle, and it's this that as been responsible for many a scare for me. Tiss wierd though, you can be sat doing something, then all of a sudden you feel as if your not really there, sort of spaced out. Makes me jump like a cricket that. Just a comment over people thinking they are going mad. I said this to my doctor once, she said, people who go mad, dont actually know they have gone mad, or that they are going mad. They just dont care, and in some cases they think that everybody else is mad, but not them. A sure sign that if any of us are worried about going mad, means that we are'nt at all.

Hi Redface I'm sure people who have been abused have had to use some kind of mental escape but as for me, I've never been abused or had anymore hardships than anyone else I know and it still happens to me!! My outer body experience feels like I'm floating up and out of my body but I don't feel like I'm looking down on anything. This symptom is soo hard to describe!!

My borderline friend experienced depersonalization, and said it was like he couldn't believe he was actually there, in existance, so he had to cut himself and bleed and hurt, to know he was really there. He also experienced out of body experience, where he thought he was floating above his own body, and could see himself in the bed below. It is amazing what the brain is capable of. Apparently this can be caused by abuse as a child, when being abused, the person escapes the reality of the situation in their mind, by feeling they are not really in the body undergoing this treatment. It continues on in adulthood perhaps as a learned pattern. I have taken tests on the internet that I too experience a little of the same depersonalization but to a lessor degree. I think anyone who experiences it must have had some very hard situations to deal with at some point or other, and it was their only vehicle of mental escape.

Hi Nurseboy I thought I was going crazy for a long time because of all these weird thoughts and songs that go through my head. Now I really do believe that if I were going crazy,I wouldn't know it and that somebody would have to tell me I was doing weird things that I wasn't aware of. As for depersonalization, I find that symptom the hardest to describe. It's like a spacey feeling and that I'm not all there. Like Chimp said, I get the outer body experience thing too. What about you what does it feel like?

Thanks for your response! As a nurse i rotated through psych wards and have met some really SICK people. Everyone says that you aren't crazy if you think you may be crazy. Do you believe that?
