Sorry if this is not an appropriate topic for this forum! If not please let me know.

I have always thought I had depression and anxiety but today my T mentioned depersonalization. Now she hasn't diagnosed me at all but just mentioned it.

I am curious if what I experience sounds like depersonalization to any of you?

Here is what I experience: I feel lightheaded but it's not a normal I'm going to faint lightheaded, it's more like my head is light and could float away. It's also like I am not myself... I feel very strange. When this happens (which is nearly a constant state for me now) I can't eat because I feel somehow detached from my body like it won't work right or something... Like if I eat I'm going to choke. I also become consumed with this feeling and it makes me cry because it's scary and I don't want to feel that way.

Another thing that happens but not often at all (it's been years since I had this) is when I look around in my house it seems weird, I know it's my house but it seems different. It really is not different or unfamiliar but it kind of feels that way.

Finally, my mood can be altered from a simple glance oat an object... As if the object changes my entire sense of well being... It doesn't have to be an object it can be a smell or a tv show or something like that but the environment can change how I feel without my thoughts involved. Sorry if that doesn't make much sense it's hard to explain.

So what do you think?

Note: I am not looking to be diagnosed and I know everybody is different but I am just curious what your thoughts are based on your own experience.

Thanks for reading!
