Since yesterday I’ve felt very detached from my surroundings. It really feels unreal. I know it is but it feels like I’ve been sucked further up into my skull and am now kinda just watching things happen. Time goes by differently. Is this derealisation?

Depersonalization/derealization, I’ve had it as a symptom of chronic depression and drug abuse. Blasting music through my headphones and trying to break routines helped, trying to hide from it through alcohol made it exponentially worse. Good luck.

Thank you for the advice. It’s scary to not know when this will end or how much of a factor this will just… be for me? Like sometimes over the past day it’s gotten a little better but it’s equally gotten worse at times and overall still kicking. Very stressful time in the semester as well so not ideal.
