I looked this up a few days ago because I've been feeling it for a really long time. Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Depersonalization (or depersonalisation) can be referred as a malfunction or anomaly of the mechanism in which an individual has awareness or perception of his or her own self. It is a feeling of watching oneself act, while having no control over a situation.[1] It can be considered desirable, such as in the use of recreational drugs, but it usually refers to the severe form found in anxiety and, in the most intense cases, panic attacks. A sufferer feels that he or she has changed and the world has become less real, vague, dreamlike, or lacking in significance. It can sometimes be a rather disturbing experience, since many feel that, indeed, they are living in a "dream".
Now that I know what it is, it worries me less, I guess... but sometimes I just feel so OUT of it and I can't control what I'm doing. Like earlier, I was in technology class and just staring at the computer screen and I knew I was there, and what I was supposed to be doing, but it was like I just COULDN'T focus.
Does anyone else feel this? Will it ever go away? And what ways ARE there to make it go away? ):
Thanks.
