Hi Jay1979

I suffered with it when I was really bad with my anxiety and hated it. However, on a plus note, it was definately one of the first things to go! I will never forget walking round a farm shop with my husband and LO and just feeling totally out of it but desperate to get out, i couldnt walk properly and felt like I was just so detached from everything. I ended up feeling to the car and bursting in to tears... I still have the very very rare moment where i feel a bit sort of detached from it all but it is only very mild and brief.

There is an ebook on depersonlisation somewhere on my PC I could email you if you would be interested in it??

Hi Jay,

Yes I did too - not at all pleasant:

Found these symptoms listed

''spaciness
like looking through a gray veil
a sensory fog
spaced-out
being trapped in a glass bell jar
in a goldfish bowl
behind glass
in a Disney-world dream state
withdrawn
feeling cut off or distant from the immediate surroundings
like being a spectator at some strange and meaningless game
objects appear diminished in size
flat
dream-like
cartoon-like
artificial; objects appear to be unsolid, to breathe, or to shimmer
"as if my head were inside a Coke bottle and I'm viewing the world through the thick glass at the bottom" ''

This is quite a good websitex
