I have been through many traumatic events in the span of a couple years,im pretty sure that couldve triggered it. With me, its not really so much depersonalization but more derealization. I still know me & i dont feel as if im watching myself in a movie , but i feel like im watching the world. EVERYTHING is so fuzzy and completely wierd i cant really explain it. Its fuzzy and feels/looks unreal. Colors are so faded or dont have meaning anymore it messes with my whole concept of reality. I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I am in high school so this disorder really interfers with everything. Often in school i feel like what im feeling mentally is showing physically so i end up making a fool out of myself trying to seem normal. I need help. I currently take prozac for my anxiety/depression. Anybody else with disorder got any help? Tell me what helps && when will it go away ?

i struggled with it a lot from an early age. the only thing that helped me during school was being able to have extended deadlines for assignments and being able to leave class if it interfered too much for me to focus.
you could try some grounding techniques (do a google search for that) if you haven't already tried some.
i personally didn't find much that helped lessen it. mine was all trauma based which was also related to certain diagnoses with a mix of other symptoms, so it wasn't just one thing by itself. it was more time that was the factor in it lessening for me. everyone is different though.
i don't think meds can help with it though. sometimes, they also can make it worse.
