I don't have any diagnosis, and I'm not sure how I feel about labels. But it feels that right now, having a label about this might help to understand.
Often it seems that when a feeling is 'real', or authentic, it doesn't feel 'real'. It might at times, but then it evaporates and it's like I can cognitively think about it but I can't feel it. It just doesn't feel real. It's 'over there', out of reach.
Same with (some emotionally heightened) memories.
I don't think I'm articulating this well. I'm sorry. I'm just stuck at the moment and trying to figure a way through.
So, when things don't feel real (feelings and/or memories), is that depersonalisation?
And how do you work through it?
How do you make it 'real'?
