I also get upset because I wanted to be an actress when I was young lol

Yeah that happens to me every time I watch a movie. I also get depersonalization under periods of intense stress and anxiety, where I can see myself from above, as if I was my own guardian angel watching over myself. Its happened during intense bouts of crying as well.

I've gotten that before, thankfully only a few times now, where I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize myself
I hate that feeling so much, its really bad when you are looking at yourself in the mirror and not recognizing the stranger staring back.
