Depersonalisation Disorder is more common than we think. It feels like a very unpleasant change in the way we feel in ourselves and the way the world seems around us. If you are experiencing depersonalisation disorder you may also feel strange body sensations or like you have lost your ability to feel emotions. It is possible that you could feel low or anxious and you may have experienced episodes of anxiety in the past. People experiencing depersonalisation disorder may say that they feel “like a robot, different from everybody else, separate from myself, as if my body is not mine, half asleep or as if my head is full of cotton wool”. They may experience a sense of detachment from those and the world around them and as if the world is 2-dimensional, painted, flat or unnatural. Psychological therapy can help you overcome your feelings of depersonalisation and related anxiety and low mood.
