Here's some info about Derealisation:

The detachment of derealization (or derealisation, UK) can be described as an immaterial substance that separates a person from the outside world, such as a sensory fog, pane of glass, or veil. Individuals may complain that what they see lacks vividness and emotional coloring. Emotional response to visual recognition of loved ones may be significantly reduced. Familiar places may look alien, bizarre, and surreal. Such perceptual abnormalities may also extend to the senses of hearing, taste, and smell. The degree of familiarity one has with their surroundings is among one's sensory and psychological identity, memory foundation and history when experiencing a place.


And Here's some info about Depersonalisation:
Depersonalization (or depersonalisation, UK) is an anomaly of self-awareness. It consists of a feeling of watching oneself act, while having no control over a situation. Subjects feel they have changed, and the world has become vague, dreamlike, less real, or lacking in significance. It can be a disturbing experience, since many feel that, indeed, they are living in a "dream"

anxiety and stress and stuff like that can cause dissociation in order to cope with the stress/anxiety, and that can cause feelings of depersonalization, derealizaiont, detachment from reality, etc.
