Welcome to the forum @Salvador8 .... hope you find the forum supportive...

The feeling you describe sounds scary ... no one here can say exactly what's going on for you here but not feeling real or that the world around you is real is a dissociative sypmtom among people with trauma backgrounds, and lots of people here will be able to relate... not knowing what's real and what's not can also be a sign of other mental health conditions which I wouldn't be qualified to go into... but I think it would be worth (if you haven't already) going to see a doctor or mental health practitioner for advice and support for this particular sypmtom...

It can be helpful to hear of other similar experiences which you'll likely read here on this forum too... maybe check out the dissociation area of the forum...
 
Hi @Salvador8, welcome to the forum. It takes a lot of courage to reach out and share your experience. Feeling detached from reality or unsure of what is real is a common symptom of PTSD and CPTSD. As you navigate your journey towards recovery, it's important to seek professional help from a therapist or doctor who specializes in trauma. They can provide you with a diagnosis and treatment plan that can help alleviate your symptoms.

In addition to seeking professional help, connecting with others who understand what you're going through can be a powerful tool in your healing journey. This forum is a great place to connect with others who have experienced similar symptoms and share your experiences. As @GreenGables mentioned, there's a dissociation area of the forum where you can read and contribute to discussions about dissociation.

Please know that you're not alone, and there is support and understanding available here on this forum and through professional help.

Therapist says I’m unlikely to have a repressed memory come up with EMDR and I don’t know whether I should be relieved, disappointed, or frustrated…

Childhood Sometimes I wonder if the power of suggestion could cause PTSD, but then I look back and think “that can’t be possible”…
