Sudden Feeling Like I've Died

[DeepRedViolets]

This is very scary to me especially because it is a very recent thing.

Sometimes when I am driving mostly, I get this weird feeling like I've just crashed or went off a mountain but I don't know it yet and I'm already dead, but I don't know I'm dead yet either. I get this unreal feeling like I've already passed on and no one knows it, or they do but that, that happened in another world. I feel like there is a woosh in reality and I have already died and I've never noticed. It happens every day but I eventually snap out of it for it to happen again later.

It happens a lot when I'm spacing out while driving my car. I feel a little crazy sometimes, what is this? Has this happened to anyone else?

I experience it regularly....I just feel dead and this is some kind of other place than where I have been. I also feel there is no point in anything...and just get by because I am not alive. It is very hard to explain. I have also isolated from most family and friends.

Yup. Sux!

One of the ways I experience derealisationis I feel like the real me is existing in a different reality, and that I have already died in this reality. Going with that is the sense that if I disappeared, this reality wouldn't actually be effected and no one would actually realise...because I'm not really here. Time to get yourself grounded Ragdoll, like, urgently!

This is exactly what I feel! Every day it happens. Do you have any insight as to what causes it? I just feel like it's magical thinking on my part but I know it probably holds something deeper.

Exactly Ragdoll...I couldn't have said it that well but that is it...no one would notice

What is that feeling. I feel exactly that, it's in my nature to know why. If anyone can give me any insight I would love it . It's just so new

I think it is derealization

 

[Sideways]

Yeah, I've always thought it was derealisation. Sometimes when I get derealisation it's more the feeling that the world is iust 2 dimensional or in all likelihood nothing more than a film set (a la The Truman Show). And that's much more fun!

De-rail-ization....like the Twilight Zone
