Mirrors?
Does anyone look at the mirror and not recognize themselves? This could be derealization or disassociation not sure?

Yessssssss
Yup, since OCD got really bad, sometimes I feel like I’m looking at someone I don’t know anymore, but there are times where that’s not the case, usually after spending more time with others who remind me who I am
I haven’t had this yet. But I have a similar issue: If I try to read a certain word or phrase (one that i want to read for reassurance) it’s like the phrase suddenly isn’t there. Like it’s censored, and there may be a different word there that confirms something I fear. It’s all under the umbrella of derealization from what I understand.
Yes.
does anyone else get INTENSE derealization (it’s the worse for me when i wake up from a dream in the middle of the night) and it’s so bad that it genuinely feels like nothing is real, not even thoughts are real, consciousness is not real, what the heck are we doing on a floating ball in the middle of darkness?? i feel like im in a simulation or a dream. i hate it sm ive had it everyday for 5 years, but tbh im not surprised it hasn’t gotten better because I have gone through some traumatic things recently and have had bad mental health. hopefully it could get better soon idk.
I saw a shadowy figure in my peripheral vision & I AM SO SCARED. I am freaked out of developing schizophrenia- but my question is if I was - would I know the shadow I saw wasn’t real? If I was developing schizophrenia would I be freaked out of the shadow I saw or would I just believe it’s real?
i came out of it now i’m back in , what helps?
