No one is real?

I'm not quite sure how to word this, but for a good couple of years now I've had the problem of not being able to grasp that anyone is real, especially in the internet. Like it's weird to think that the person responding to me is living and breathing, I've had times where my friend has responded wrong and my brain freaked out telling me I was talking to a fake one. Another time I could think of is I was texting a friend waiting to meet them somewhere and I got this anxiety that I was texting ba fake and they wouldn't show up cause I wasn't texting the real one. At it's worse everything feels floaty and off? Most of the time it just causes this weird anxiety. I once scared myself looking in the mirror cause I didn't recognize myself. Now this comes off and on but it mainly leaves me with the feeling that I'm in a virtual reality and that someone else is controlling my actions. It's all going to end one day and I know it, someone is going to turn this off. I don't know I'm rambling right now. I don't know when this started but it continues. I can't seem to keep myself grounded.

It sounds to me like you're experiencing dissociation...derealization/depersonalization. You can learn a lot more about this by going to dpselfhelp.com

hey there, i'm really sorry you're experiencing this, and may you feel well soon.
i was diagnosed with depersonalization-derealization disorder (DPDR) and i can relate to what you are experiencing. that does sound like dpdr to me, and if you ever need to vent, i'm here and i hope you recover soon! best wishes

Thanks for the suggestion, I definitely do feel like I have symptoms of this, I'll definitely have to look at that site. I don't know, but I'm scared to feel different from this. It's gone on for so long that I don't know how I will feel after this.
