Hey guys, I've had to put up with this for almost a year or so now, and I just want it to go away. My most obvious symptom is feeling like I'm dreaming, I know I'm not but sometimes I still find myself looking down at my hands and thinking, "How/Why am I even here?". Even my memories feel like those of a dream and they rarely have any emotion connected with them any more, ...

I have self diagnosed with Depersonalization. I was just reading now and maybe what I have is Dissociation, I don't know. All I know is that my mind is playing with me and I am about to go crazy.

I've started feeling like I'm living in a dream since I was 10. It stopped for about a few months last year then it started coming back and this year it started getting worse. I cannot even remember what I've done two days ago, and every other days for these past few weeks.

Hi everyone.. As I said before, I suffer from DP. But now, I'm starting to have terrible nightmares, everytime I go to sleep, its always a bad dream. I also almost ALWAYS wakeup through the night. I've started a new medication. Does this have anything to do with it??

Okay. So I've been suffering from what I believe is depersonalization disorder. It all started happening about 4 months ago, but it wasn't as bad. I was able to do things like go out with friends and go to school and it wouldn't bother me.
