This sounds like derealization or some form of dissociation.

I struggle with life feeling unreal (derealization), and then me feeling unreal in life (depersonalization). I also struggle with another dissociative disorder and PTSD.

Trauma and dissociation seem to go hand in hand, and these pandemic times are traumatic. The children and young adults are especially struggling with the future - because of the older generations' lack of attention to climate change, equity needs, educational needs, and more - leaving fewer resources for the younger generations to survive with. Dissociation and trauma increase when life is truly being threatened - with natural disasters (global warming, earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes), with manmade disasters (oil spills, air pollution), with viruses (SARS-CoV-2, influenza), with bacteria (malaria), with hate (racism, nationalism, ageism, sexism, ableism, xenophobia). The future also remains unclear when our own leaders cannot agree with one another, when disinformation spreads like wildfire, when even news sources and social media cannot be trusted, when corrupt disinformation is infiltrating our educational and local governmental and medical systems, when the CDC and FDA have their disagreements gone public, when the CDC and FDA change the rules and guidelines constantly (while also negating mental and psychosocial health by promoting de facto evidence on all things biological instead), etc. Times are confusing, lonely, threatening. Everyone and every being and every group are threatened. Pandemics, endemics, political wars, actual wars, confusion, sedition, coup attempts, racism, hate crimes, rapes on trains in public with bystanders doing nothing, police brutality, disinformation campaigns, polarization, division - they are all traumatic.

The future is uncertain, and it is unclear.

People have coped in many ways - but some ways are automatic. Dissociation is automatic.

Life doesn't seem real when there's this much chaos. It's no wonder that we would feel disconnected from a painful life like this.

The economy is confused, and its rapidly changing. It's hard to plan for the future when the future remains uncertain.
