Roy:

I'm not a professional but have read several books and essays on this subject along with forms of dissociation.

This is my humble opinion: Everyone at some point or another suffers from derealization and at times dissociation. This is very common. Like when you're driving down the road and you're watching the road but your mind is elsewhere and you go several miles and think "How did I get here. I don't remember going around that curve", things of that nature. It can be inattention too, I guess, but that's just my opinion on it.

Actually, I will tell you. I posted on another thread to you that better explains, but I think maybe your docs are on the right track. I have what I refer to as "tunnel vision" and just a feeling of disconnection from my body. My vision is affected badly and sometimes the world even spins and I am being treated for anxiety and panic disorders. So...sometimes what we consider the least likely candidate is really the culprit all along.

Maybe if you try meds for anxiety then it will help. This is all a trial and error process anyway, to find out what works and what doesn't. Perhaps a medication change is what's in order.

I wish you the best of luck,
Kimberly.
