I never that I would have depression. I guess I never really thought about it. My mom would never bring it up I think she never really though of it either. For some years I had trouble sleeping. I always got 8 hours of sleep and ate a good breakfast but I still could not stay awake. I never really got a refreshing sleep/. But now I have memory problems and headaches that get worse. My memory has gotten pretty bad and I feel like my reality is falling apart. I feel as if I am not living and I try to explain this but they just don't understand. I feel as if I'm not doing what I'm doing. I meet new people or do new things but it does not feel like I did it which plays into my memory. This is the worst feeling I have ever had and I need help. Has anyone experienced the loss of reality. I have not seen a doctor but I don't know if they will understand. My life is crumbling in from of me I dropped out of school and my career has ended. I made the decision to get better because my stress adds to my loss of reality. Can someone help me does anyone else experience this?

Hi Falling567, I have experienced something somewhat similar to what you're describing, I believe it's called derealization. For me it happens when I'm extremely anxious and sometimes when I'm depressed. Nothing seems real and I start questioning everything that happens. Sometimes I feel like I'm not apart of reality at all.
