Let me ask you a few questions to make what you are feeling more clear so that if its not due to depression, others with a similar problem can answer you.

Are you currently on any medication? The side effects of some medications can cause this. So can abruptly stopping some medications.

Is this feeling there all the time or is it intermitant?

Are you aware of what is real and what is not, or do you feel like you are having hallucinations?

I'm sorry I couldn't be more help.

I read dissociation is pretty hard to treat with meds. To answer your questions: 1)Yes the feeling is ALMOST always there.
2)No hallucinations but like you said feeling like an actor in movie! meds im on help a little.
