i didn't realize it was depersonalisation - if that is what it is - until what people wrote. I think the only time I have had 'proper' depersonalisation was after a counselling session when I left feeling like I was walking on air, it was really weird, lol, my legs didn't seem to belong to me and I had a hard time keeping myself from staggering as I walked

I'm not sure if it is caused by anxiety or not. I haven't really found any 'trigger' for it that I've noticed. Sometimes I just wake up and find myself as I described before. Othertimes I suddenly notice it. idk.

wow. i just got round to reading this thread silver queen and at first i thought yep i know what you re talking about because i used to experience exactly the same thing but i ve been much better recently. then i did the questionnaire petunia (i think it was) posted and the questions and summary at the end have totally shocked me. i still do lots of those things a lot of the time. i got a score of 43 which apparently is in the range of 'severe depersonalisation'. i really thought it was just normal to go through life like this. hard but normal. i had to do the test three times and read all the fine print in case there were some instructions i was missing that was causing my score to be wonky.
anyway im sorry you are going through this. i know it really is hard. especially when it hits really badly. i quoted you above because i very frequently feel like that after T and occasionally at other times too. its very disconcerting to say the least. i hope you can get some help with this. you re not alone in it anyway.
take good care and thanks for posting about how you re feeling. its been very informative for me.
