Reality is becoming more and more dream like

I don’t know what to call this, maybe derealization? disassociating?

But my reality including seeing other people doesn’t seem real.

I have a hard time differentiating what is real and what might be a hallucination?

Things just seem dream like, things seem surreal

It almost feels like I’m tripping but I’m drug free.

I don’t think there are meds for this.

But I will mention it to my pdoc when I call him tomorrow

I’ve been sleeping erratically lately and I’ve been more isolated, maybe these are the reasons for this altered reality I’m stuck in.

Sounds like derealization, thats my guess.

Id try to get your sleep back on schedule. That and consult dr

I don’t know what to do other than contacting my psychiatrist tomorrow.

All I know is these derealization feelings are coinciding with other symptoms I’m experiencing like some more depression and hyper vigilance

do you know why you are depressed and hypervigilant, what triggers it? can you trace the source of your feelings?

Living on my own has been a big change for me.

It’s been kind of rough

why is it rough? not freeing? sorry if i ask questions, you dont have to answer but most of the time there are root causes to our psychotic thoughts

No I don’t understand, it’s simple, I’m experiencing more stress and stress makes my symptoms worse.

yeah i have that too. idk what i can say. but what works for me is fully embracing reality and try to do things what i really like things i dont feel bad about

Probably just a bit tired

But yeah still having some trouble distinguishing what is and isn’t real.

Like when I see people walking by
