I have had Derealization for years (feeling like I am in a "fog" or in a "dream" all of the time) and have noticed feelings of Depersonalization over the past year or so (feeling like I am just staring at myself or floating outside of myself). I am undiagnosed, but have been dealing with various depression and anxiety symptoms for years. I am currently taking Cipralex, but am finding that the dose I am taking is not helping with all of my anxiety and depression symptoms (going to ask my doctor about this). Even though i'm used to feeling this way, it is still uncomfortable and affects my life in a lot of ways (especially socially because it makes me feel disconnected from other people and the world around me). I was wondering if anyone else here experiences this (I told a Psychologist about my "dream like" feeling and they seemed surprised and possibly like they weren't familiar with this particular symptom) and if so, if anyone knows of good ways to manage these symptoms.
