I've experienced depersonalization/derealization in which sometimes your surroundings seem fake and dream like but I get these moments through out the day or sometimes last the whole day in which like seems "TOO REAL" for me I'd say. Or like everything seems too real and is too much for me to process idk how to explain but then I get nauseous and scared. It's hard to explain but it's scary it's like everything's too real for me and I feel more at peace when I'm actually dreaming at night . Anyone experience any moments like those ?

My problem is that I think too much. In any situation, I register where I am, who is talking to whom and other mundane things like what the wall paper looks like. I feel like I am not really here, or anywhere. It is a very strange feeling that is hard to explain. It feels like life is not really happening at all. I listen to others that have meaningless small talk and I don't see the reason for having it. There are much deeper topics of conversation to have yet some people to me seem oblivious. They seem wrapped up in the latest film release or new clothing design which to me comes across as superficial. I feel like an outsider of this planet, like I am not part of it. I don't think the same, or act the same way. I find it really hard to register that I am living in the same reality as the person I pass in the street. It really does bother me.

I have had these feelings before. It is very common with anxiety and panic disorder. It's a coping mechanisms for your brain when your under extreme stress. That's what I heard anyway.
