Derealization is a deep and disturbing sensation of unreality and detachment from one’s immediate world. It's referred to as a dissociative state. Those whom it has tormented (including me many years ago) describe it as feeling as though they’re looking at the world through thick glass. I mean, you can see clearly, are fully oriented, and can function; but it’s like you’re operating in a very exclusive dimension. It is an absolutely horrifying experience and generally leads one to believe they're truly going insane, especially if one has no idea as to what they're experiencing. Believe me, it feels like you’re right on the very edge of madness, with one foot dangling above the abyss. As derealization presents, one becomes extremely concerned about what to do with themselves and how to find help. It’s all about the fear of being, and appearing, crazy; or at the very least, extremely strange. “Who could possibly understand any sort of attempt at an explanation?†“How will I be able to get help?â€It's important to understand derealization is a manifestation (symptom) of anxiety, mood disorders, stress, and any number of emotional/mental situations. It's a disturbing, but benign, phenomenon. And as I can personally attest, it's not permanent. Resolve or reduce the anxiety, etc., and derealization goes bye-bye.
