Hi Rose,

I have to agree with Canders and BB. What you described sounds like depersonalization and/or derealization, which are a form of dissociation. Since there is a name for it, that means that other people experience it too. And it can be treated. If you are managing life, and not a danger to yourself or someone else, this would not be a reason to put you in a hospital. Actually, dissociation is something we do to help us cope, but when it goes too far it is uncomfortable and can be a problem. Anyway, since it isn't pleasant, why not tell your T about it and get some help. Generally, as long as you are being honest and are not going to hurt yourself or anybody, they won't want to put you in the hospital. If you're not sure about that, why not ask them hypothetically what would happen if you told them about something you need help with that might sound strange, and see if the answer helps you to feel better about telling them.

Good luck! I hope you decide to trust the people whose job it is to help you.
