This is an attempt at simulating the experience of enduring depersonalization and/or derealization. Please note that it does not represent everyone's experience. It is simply how I experienced it at the time of making this video and also added some artistic flairs that I felt captured the emotion. If this is not accurate for your experience with this, my apologies.
"Depersonalization disorder (DPD) is a mental disorder in which the sufferer is affected by persistent or recurrent feelings of depersonalization and/or derealization. In the DSM-5 it was combined with Derealization Disorder and renamed to Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder.[1] In the DSM-5 it remains classified as a dissociative disorder, while in the ICD-10 it is called depersonalization-derealization syndrome and classified as an neurotic disorder.[2]
Common descriptions of symptoms from sufferers include feeling disconnected from one's physicality or body, feeling detached from one's own thoughts or emotions, feeling as if one is disconnected from the reality of one's self, and a sense of feeling as if one is dreaming or in a dreamlike state. In some cases, a person may feel an inability to accept their reflection as their own, or they may even have out-of-body experiences.[3] The disorder can also be described as suffering from recurrent episodes of surreal experiences, which may in some cases be reminiscent of panic attacks.
In addition to these DPD symptoms, the inner turmoil created by the disorder can result in depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, anxiety attacks, panic attacks, extreme phobias (especially of losing their mind), etc. It can also cause a variety of physical symptoms, including chest pain, blurry vision, nausea, and pins and needles."
