Hi, this is my second post.
I have depression, with both depersonalization and derealization and I've seen a psychiatrist some months ago.
Now it's been four years I'm not good, I've been on xanax and zoloft but they made me feel horrible so I quitted medicine.
You know, how difficult life can be with depersonalization. I mean, I get this feeling all the time, every single second of my life I feel like I don't belong to my body, and earth is such a strange place. Everything is dream-like. I hate to touch objects, because the feeling of the texture is so bad.
Reality has completely changed. And people are telling me to be strong(?), to don't have fear (who has) and waiting for it to go away?!
However, this was to explain a bit the situation, my answer was, when you are convinced that all this isn't real, does it is still depersonalization or somewhat else?
I have thoughts like - people are like robots, they don't have a soul, they believe they are real but they're not, and this makes me feel so alone -
I mean, these things sound so true to me, If I think of my life before I had depersonalization, that piece of my life is insignificant. Yes, I was fine before, but it's like I was a robot.
The paradox is that now, that I'm depersonalized, things look unreal, but I 'feel' like they are real;
before depersonalization things looked real, but I feel like they weren't.
Ok, now I stop because I'm getting stuck in this matrix world and this post it's too long.
What do you think?
