I deal with feelings of being separated from reality everyday. Like I'm on auto pilot and the world is passing me by in fast forward and when I look around I feel like time and space are crumbling...that it's all just a figment. On top of my depression it really makes everything much harder.

Not many people in my life understand how hard it is or even really care. I even tried to talk to my psychiatrist about and she just told me to tell myself it's real,it's not a dream and realize it's all in my head. I have to say...that was no help.

My most important year of school is coming up,and last year was pretty bad...no matter how many times I tried to ground myself. Everything gets distorted like I'm watching a movie,the words out of people's mouths sound unreal,the words I'm looking at just become foreign.And this isn't just in school..everywhere I go. store,mall,relatives,friends..even by myself.

This happens all the time and I hate it and I'm afraid this will just result in my failure. I'm already stressed and obsessed over everything else...and I don't know what to do.
