Depersonalization scared me the first time it happened after a trauma I had gone through. I was feeding horses at the ranch & had climbed up to get several bales of hay down & it was like I was above myself watching myself do this. Then someone said something to me. The me I was watching answered while I was wondering how in the world they knew what to answer. I quickly got my feeding done & went to the car. Didn't come back to feeling normal until I got home. It happened several other times after I left there too but hasn't happened in years now that I have mostly recovered from all my past stresses & trauma
