Does anyone else get this?

All the time when I look at stuff around me and especially when I get out of my house nothing seems real. I look at things and people and they just don't seem to be "real". It is kind of hard to explain. It is somewhat like I am distanced from everything like I am in a computer simulation or like I am walking around in a fog. Sometimes I will look at myself in the mirror and just stare because the person I see doesn't seem to be the person trapped inside my mind.

I don't know if this has anything to do with my anxiety or my depression and I am not worried by it. I was just wondering if it is normal.

NORMAL totally

Yea I had a phase like that a few years back. I think I read that it occurs in a person when they are unable to cope with the pressures in their lives so they begin to detach from it all as a kind of defence mechanism.....I think it's called Depersonalisation or something....this may help;

Depersonalization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't think it's anything to worry about unless it gets really severe. I always kinda liked it! ...it was trippy!

I think this is better described as "derealization". It's like it's the last house on that long winding grey road called depression. I usually have it when I'm low on sleep and/or I'm depressed and the sadness has evaporated, leaving only a sense of being a ghost.

I'm like that all the time, so yeah... you're not alone.

I feel like that a lot as well. Yesterday I went shopping with my mom. She insisted on buying me some clothes for Christmas and wanted me to pick them out. When she was around we would talk about clothes, but when she went to the women's section (where there are things I would find offensive) I was alone for a good 15-20 minutes. I just walked around checking the discount displays out of boredom. It was a pretty busy Friday evening and there were a lot of people around, but I just felt like I wasn't even there. No one would notice me, and I didn't notice anyone, I was just killing time... waiting until I could go home and get back to the comfort of sitting in my room.

I think this feeling of detachment is something we all feel sometimes. I get it a LOT.

You feel unreal because nothing is real. Its all a dream.
