 Posted: 07/28/06 - 23:00 Post subject: I have Feelings of being unreal?!? |
  |
|
Hi, I am 16 years old girl, and I have a horrible feeling that my existence is not real! I lost all of my ambitions because I think that whatever I do, has no sense, when I’m not real anyway. So why should I bother at all? Is there anyone else with a feeling of not being real?

You mustn’t drop all of your dreams and ambitions because of this feeling. What will you do if this feeling goes away in 5 years, and you haven’t done anything with your life? There will be no turning back and catching up with all the things you could have done. I heard of some cases when people had the feeling of not being real since they were born. Imagine that! They are constantly questioning their existance, and worrying that they could easily dissapear. This condition could be a consequence of amnesia, because if somone forgets half the things he ever experienced, it’s not surprising that he feels like his existence is not real. The feelings of being unreal could also come from some physical disorders, such as multiple personality. It really has sense, doesn’t it? So what are you suffering from- amnesia, multiple personality or maybe puberty? Think about this and don’t throw your life away, because the time is precious.

| I think I have what you have. It is called depersonalization disorder. I have had it for four years not. Some times it gets better some times it makes me feel very bad. But now a days I just don't think about it and it don't bother me that much. |

| I think you should seek the diagnosis of a trained psychologist. Sometimes feelings of being 'unreal' or detached are from some earlier trauma in one's life. I believe these feelings are referred to as dissociation. There are medications that may help this problem and it's caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. I've experienced this too, so you're not alone. I take an antidepressant and everything's fine. Good luck! |
