Yes. I have been diagnosed with bipolar for about 5 years. I occasionally experience depersonalization (like yesterday). I've been going through a somewhat manic phase and upset it further by staying up till 4am. The next day, I kept forgetting where I had been, everything looked unfamiliar, and I felt like I was not really controlling my body... like I was sitting in a chair in my head, watching a video.
