Is this usual? Does it feel like that to others?
I´d really like to know, thanks!

if you were here where I live and work (NY, in the USA) no this isnt unusual.
Here wher I live and work we describe derealization as the person feels real the surroundings and othe rpeople do not feel real...examples of this would be my feeling my dog was not real, feeling my wife wasnt real, feeling my home wasnt real....the world outside having unreal qualities to it.
here where I live and work we call it depersonalization when it is the person not the surroundings that doesnt feel real.. examples would be I feel numb, not altogether focused, feeling like Im not real, Im just going through the motions but not feeling anything..
here in NY in the USA the dissociative disorder I had where I was not in control, someone else was in control was called DID Dissociative Identity Disorder which was different than depersonalization and derealization symptoms for me.
