Depersonalization disorder

[Nate0068]

As a young kid in my elementary and middle school years i would have these moments especially around people and at night were i would feel like i was dreaming something didnt feel quite right to me i felt like i wasnt in reality .i felt out of my body and had a hard time accepting that life was happening to me at this point in my life i was pretty young so ive never smoked weed or anything but i do recall thinking to myself wanting to feel "sober" bc when this happened to me it kinda felt disorienting in away many years later ive found out that theres a name for this and its called the depersonalization disorder does anyone have any good information on this as such as why it happened to me or anything or what it means about me ?

I am 26 now and have been having depersonalization since I was about 12 years old. I have no idea how I got it, but it may be from trauma as it states in the wiki. I always wonder if my disorder has led me to conscious work by asking of what awareness is. Or if my curiosity has led me to the disorder. Maybe it's just some types of people who get it. I really don't know, but I would like to know as well.

There are tons of threads here about depersonalization just do a search.  I can't find it now but one of them had a great video by Shinzen Young who calls it enlightenment's evil twin.  Just search that in you tube and it will come up.  It won't let me embed it here.
