It feels like a dream, can't tell reality from dreaming. I don't understand this planet. Also I don't understand what others say to me, and its hard understanding writing. A few weeks ago, I don't know what happened to me. It was like I woke up on a different planet after too much stress. I couldn't do basic things. Nothing made sense in my world. I won't get more into it because it might sound too weird, but I know I am weird. Is this depersonalization and derealization? I miss time as well, or at least time is distorted. I don't understand time anymore. I'm lost in it. So, does anyone else experience these things?

only your own treatment providers can say whether this is depersonalization and derealization in you.

in me when this kind of thing happened my treatment providers call it by many names...psychosis, hallucinations, delusions, dissociative symptoms, lack of sleep, medication problems....

Again only your own treatment providers can say why this is happening to you, what it is and how best to treat it, my suggestion if this continues to bother you contact your treatment providers or if you dont have one maybe consider contacting one (a medical doctor or mental health treatment provider) in your off computer location.
