It's depersonalisation / derealization. I've had something like this happen to me and i know that it's very surreal and hard to put in to words. It's caused by large amount of mental stress and anxiety. In my case i thought i would die from some sort of neurological disease.
Try to move around and do physically demanding things and talk to more people the next few days/weeks (preferably in person).
I see that you posted this on Monday, how do you feel now?

I've had a brain MRI because of this and other issues (face numbness and dizziness). And guess what, the brain is completely fine.

Check with your doc to see what they say just in case, but this is probably the same thing I've had. Haven't had it for about 2 months now.

To manage it, as i wrote earlier, i tried to do some prolonged physical activity that is somewhat demanding (boxing or running, or calisthenics, or something you might like or enjoy like bouldering or biking etc.) to make the body "feel real". Also talking on the phone with someone but better in person, or engaging in some fun social activity like board games or something like that. Reduce anxiety and stress as much as possible.
If you ever get it again just try to no stress too much over the thing itself as it's only fuel for anxiety.
Stay healthy mate.

I think it stems from personal issues, they need to be addressed, and you should also try therapy.
