Depersonalization
I know the feeling where I don't know myself anymore; I wonder "who am i? what am I doing? who is this person I am being?".
but that would not be depersonalization but more like an identity crisis... which can be explained because that happens if some really fundamental parst get blows apart, or i act in a way really outside my usual behaviors for a while.

I had it a few months ago. Got it from lexapro. That Fucked me up. So I read about it and my symptoms. I read taking wellbutrin will reverse the effects of lexapro. So I took wellbutrin and that fixed it. Your serotonin levels are messed up. Also read the power of the now that helped me know myself and experience everything more. I am now no longer depersonalized.

Also you should stop smoking weed if you do. It contributes to depersonalization.

Narcisism, by alexander lowen. That's because you are so absorbed in your own thoughts.

BWH: Listen man, go to a psychologist instead. I'm going through something similar. But remember: YOU CAN'T DIAGNOSE YOURSELF.
Remember this, it is not good to diagnose yourself. The criteria for having a certain diagnosis aren't met by simply confirming a quote. You need to have several of the symptoms along with other things in order to qualify for a certain diagnose. It is not advisable to diagnose yourself and assume you have a certain disease just because you "think you do".
Go to a psychologist instead, ask them, talk with them.
I'm experiencing a very simliar thing though, I feel like I'm in a movie, and things are just distant, I'm doing everything outwardly..but inwardly it's veeery different and extremely scary and dark.
I think in my case, it can have to do with denial of certain emotions. Not being able to admit you feel a certain way about something or someone, and shutting that part off. I think honesty towards what you feel is good, try to get support from people. If you feel bad, don't beat yourself up over it, we all do some times.

Diagnostic criteria include persistent or recurrent experiences of feeling detached from one's mental processes or body.[1] The symptoms include a sense of automation, going through the motions of life but not experiencing it, feeling as though one is in a movie, feeling as though one is in a dream, feeling a disconnection from one's body; out-of-body experience, a detachment from one's body, environment and difficulty relating oneself to reality.
Anyone had any experience? How'd you get through it?
