> Hi Hope:
> Big time derealization here. It's like in some movies where the camera pulls back but the character is still centre in the picture. Things around me just seem to move back, out of my view and then I feel like a ghost sort of drifting through the room unable to touch or hear things. It's a kind of hallucination I guess. I'm riddled with panic and anxiety all the time though and I think my unreal experiences stem from that.

> > Hi Hope. I was wondering. I have a dissociative disorder which apparently originated out of childhood trauma. Did your derealization develop out of childhood trauma, or a traumatic event as a young adult or adult? Shellie
Thanks so much first of all for sharing your experiences with me-- I know how you feel and it is great to hear from someone else who shares in these experiences... aren't they the scariest yes it is like almost being in IT"S A WONDERFUL LIFE!
Only it isn't a movie... I have had some trauma but it was mostly isolated and years ago and why now is this happening I do not know! But no one understands really unless they have it as you already know I am sure! It is like you honestly
know how it might feel to be schizophrenic or alzheimer type people-- of course it isn't the same but it brings you closer to understanding how twisted life is for those of us with less than normal existance... I have a one year old son and a 5y old son and somtimes they seem unfamiliar of course the whole time I know they aren't but it is like I said, being thrown down into the middle of this persons life you have sat and watched until now and now you are that person!-- I know you know what I am saying.. enough for tonight don't want to babble on hehe-- but please keep posting :)
GOODLUCK I am always checking here and would love to listen and share with you! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!
HUGSSSS! HOPE B
