Who here depersonalized or derealized? MAN this is terrifying and far worse than your run-of-the-mill depression.
>dissociated and brain fog
Is that the same thing?
I wish I was
It makes life feel like a dream

I would rather say those are co-symptoms along with the depersonalized/derealized state as a whole. I always get foggy memory during my DP/DR bouts.

Yeah, the world seems like a less real place than inside my head pretty often.
I think it's because you're fundamentally cut off from the outside world, with your senses as both your only window to the hypothetical other, and as an immovable wall that separates you from the outside.
Alienation widens that gulf between the individual and reality, to the point where sometimes I'm not sure if other people are entirely there, so scant are my points of connection to them.
Entire days go by in a strange haze even when I'm fully sober, and I'm at a loss as to how to explain it to my therapist without sounding like a needy liar.
i don't know what you call it or what all these conditions mean. i do know that suicide is a moron's choice and i'm better off enjoying my life while it lasts. it's like depression, but i ain't sad, i just don't care. i know it's only going to get worse if i let it, it'll get better if i try, but why even try, man?
