Now outright derealization. I thought for a good week I was my husband's imaginary friend. That he maybe crazy and I'm his hallucination.

Ahhh! I see... So I am definitely dissociating. Derealization, that is different. But can that find various forms? Like some times at the peak of hypo-manic/manic episodes I believe that I, or things, have kind of subtly magical properties, like frequently I believe that I can effect certain outcomes through concentration etc... Is that a form of derealization?
Let me know if you can and thank you!
