Hello my name is Edgar and i have been suffering from dp/dr for a month now. To put my story in short words I began having existential thoughts and began questioning literally everything i came in contact with. My brain would be filled with philosophical question about life, reality, time, space, humanity and even my own existence. I was able to deal with derealization and the thought that my life was just a dream, but now it has progressed to the point that i feel as if i am stuck in a movie. I feel as if am stuck behind my own eyes and i am watching the world through a projector. This began two days ago and i can not seem to shake it off. I have to continuously keep reminding myself that i am part of this world and that it is very real indeed. People automatically wake up and see the world as it is and never question their sight. I actually think about seeing and how my brain is projecting images through my eyes. Its as if i am continuously conscious about my own sight. I'm not sure if i am making myself clear, its really hard to put into words. I feel like i have forgotten about my other senses and i am just focused on my sight. The best way to put is that i feel like walking eyeballs. Sometimes i just close my eyes for seconds to reconnect with my other senses, and because just seeing gives me anxiety. I know sight is a gift that should not be taking for granted but right now i feel as my anxiety is turning my sight into a curse. Also because i feel like sometimes my life is not real i feel like my mind is very susceptible in believing things that might not be true. Im always thinking about life and the meaning behind space, time and matter. I also think about evolution a lot an how humans got to be who they are now. This thoughts are ruining my life. I want to be able to worry about my school, job, family but it seems that this state of mind and thoughts are taking over my life. I have never reached out and asked help from people in forums but this state of mind is ruining my life. I am not sure if anyone has experienced what i am experiencing right now, but if there is any advice that someone can give me to slowly help me escape from this hell i would highly appreciate it. Also knowing that i am not alone with this illness would be of great help. Thank You
