That is certainly similar to how my Dad described his experience of depersonalization/derealization. For him it began with stress/trauma. I was a young child at the time. I deal with my own mental health struggles; I am looking for insights into how his depersonalization/derealization would have affected the way that he parented me and how I might have come to understand that world... anyone have any insights into this? I would appreciate listening to you... Hope it's okay to ask - grateful for any help.
