derealisation

[TSS]

i think I may be starting to experience this again. I have no idea what to do about it.

I'm sorry that you're experiencing this. You're welcome to say what this is like for you.

 

[TSS]

Its hard to describe but when I am really having it it makes the environment look fake. The day I wrote this speeds and distances seemed to be off somehow.

Other members have described having similar experiences.

I have no idea what to do about it.

There's a member who has recommended a book about derealization/depersonalization:

I have depersonalisation sometimes, usually when things are overly stressful or my borderline triggers get overwhelming. It's really unpleasant isn't it?

 

[TSS]

I imagine so. I have not experience depersonalisation but its kin to what I do experience,

If I'm understanding correctly what I read on these two behaviors today, depersonalization and derealization, these both sound like what I was told I used to do at times years ago....dissociation. I was given ways to acknowledge and address in the moments when it was occurring that were really successful in breaking responding that way.

 

[TSS]

Yes dissociation covers both.
