Note to admins: Please don't move this to dissociative disorders forum as I feel that this is not serious enough to belong in there as it was a fleeting episode not a long term disorder.

Recently I had this strange feeling of altered reality which worried and scared me. I read about derealization and it sounds like it possibly could be. I read half of all people may experience it at some point of their life.

Basically I've had this feeling that my life is not happening in the current moment, that what I'm experiencing has already happened and is a memory that I am revisiting.

I know it sounds odd and it's not a nice feeling, it can last for days or sometimes shorter bursts. I'm not experiencing it at this moment.

I wonder if it's connected with how comparatively restricted my life has been recently, in that my days have become very repetitive.

Does anyone else experience anything similar?
