Do I have Depersonalization Disorder?

My symptoms include:
- Anxiety
- Autoscopy
- Altered sense of reality
- Fatigue
- Overeating
And not feeling fully alert

My mind and my body feel like two seperate entities, I do not feel like my mind is anchored to my body and I have no clue why I feel this way. I've been experiencing this for well over a year now, I am not knowledgeable on psychology so that's why I decided to join this forum...

It definitely isn't paranoia

I wouldn't say you're being paranoid. Paranoia wouldn't cause you to feel detached from your body. I think that everyone experiences it differently. For me I feel like I'm in a dream that I can't wake from, my vision perspective changes throughout the day, my limbs feel like they aren't mine. The sky always looks like a painting, even when the clouds are moving. When I was a kid I never thought the face in the pictures or mirrors weren't mine. And then a couple years ago all of the other symptoms came up and its been a living hell since.

If you really want to know, ask your doctor or see a psychiatrist. They won't tell you how to control the symptoms but they should be able to give you a diagnosis. They treated me with seroquel, for this and bipolar, it seemed to help but I had to stop it because I kept missing class and that wound me up in the hospital.
