I'm wondering if anybody else has experienced this.
I've had DP/DR before, but after a recent illness (chest/lung infection) that has taken several weeks to slowly recover from my DP/DR has come back.
This never used to bother me that much although it was always unpleasant.
This time it seems a little more invasive though. It seems that every time I turn my head to look at something it takes my brain a second or so to properly perceive what it is I'm looking at. Another example is that I'll get into the car and have to think for a second or two what comes next. That may not seem like a long time, but when 'put the key in the ignition' is usually an automatic response, a second or two feels like a worrying amount of time.
There's a severe head tightness that goes along with it too, and it feels like my eyeballs are constantly being pulled from behind.
I think some of it is that I was forced to lay down for almost a month so my muscle tension is probably bad right now.
