Hi there!
I'm so happy to have found this post because it describes what I feel in a way that I have never been able to describe it! I am really suffering with my derealization at the moment. My symptoms come at dusk/night, under bright artificial lighting, in shopping centres/restaurants/clubs, in crowds, where there is lots of noise, or when I am having a face-to-face conversation with someone. And I don't know what to do about it! In these situations, I start to feel disconnected from the surroundings and extremely overwhelmed by all the sights and sounds around me. I struggle to have a face-to-face conversation with people during these times because things seem hazy and distorted. And I feel like I might lose control or faint any second. Is this how you feel to? I would love to hear from you as I really need to chat to someone who is experiencing the same things as I am
Thanks so much
