I wish I had real words to explain. I feel like I did when I thought I was his imaginary friend but disconnected from him too this time. I’m questioning whether I should go IP. I know this won’t last forever. I have to volunteer Monday. I think I’m safe. It doesn’t help that I still have the sensation of bugs still just not as bad. Same with my loud head. I’m waiting for bed I’m taking an ambien PRN tonight.

Isolating often increases depersonalization/derealization.
It if you tolerate it, maybe try to not isolate. If you find this too difficult, maybe try decreasing the amount of time you isolate.
I am adding a link for you, in case you might like to understand more of what is going on for you?
Depersonalization-derealization disorder - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic
I hope you can work out the pros and cons for IP.
We are here. Let us know if we can help further.
