I need help fully understanding it. I have had Derealization and Depersonalization issues in the past, although it doesn't happen often there have been times where I was talking to someone (in the case I am thinking of, my therapist) and she was talking and I was staring at the door, all of the sudden I could feel like I was being detached from myself and then I was in a 3rd person sort of view where I could see myself and my therapist but I couldn't really get what she was saying.

When I was in school I would always zone out, sort of day dream and not realize it for minutes and sometimes when I am talking to someone I feel detached again but like from my own ears/brain and I can hear what they are saying and understand but its like it goes in one ear and out the other and I can only remember it for a few seconds. I get deja vu feelings all the time even if I have never been in a place etc. can someone help me?

if you were here where I live my treatment providers call this normal levels of concentration/self hypnosis and normal levels of dissociation that every human being has. its also called out of body experience among those that believe in the paranormal here in NY. its also a therapeutic technique used in meditaiton/relaxation\visualizations to purposely slip into a daydream state of mind while zoning out, relaxing/staring at object (candles/walls\photos\doors...what ever works)

i cant tell you what this is in you, only your treatment providers can do that, my suggestion is if this continues to bother you contact a mental health treatment provider, they will be able to tell you what this is with in you.

I used to have Derealization. What I used to get was constant tunnel vision, feeling of unreal, I thought I was getting messages sent to me from the media and lots more. What I did that cured it was started Karate. After about 2 months of doing Karate I just realized all of a sudden that i no longer have it. Yes it is a scary feeling being in that kind of situation with Deralization but you just have to do something like a sport.

I have issues with derealization as well. Actually at the moment I'm having issues. I read that feeling of derealization/depersonalization is a symptom of depression or anxiety. Or other mental issues. Are you maybe anxious or depressed?

[theolor12]

Both, I have Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder with anxiety issues

What is the difference between depersonalization and derealization? I think I suffer from one sometimes, but am not sure which it is.
