Eskie, you just reminded me of something...
As a teen I was put on a very high dose of lithium. (1,250mg a day) and it pushed me over the edge. I would sit for dinner and I would hear them talking, see them talking, see myself on the other side of the table and hear myself interacting as if nothing were wrong, but I wasn't in there, I was across the table watching. It happened so much I made my mom take me to the hospital because I was afraid it was a tumor or something. She blamed it on migraines until I went back to my pdoc who took me off the lithium.
It's really scary and I'm sorry for those who have to cope with this. That was the most extreme it was ever for me in depersonalization, but it was enough for me to see how scary it could get. Usually it's just hints of hearing and watching but that's a whole other diagnosis there. Just wanted to add my support, although I don't have it per se, I can see how frightening it is and it's hard. Hugs to all who have to deal with it
