Day 66: 2020 Pandemic. Do You Feel Very, Very Strange? Out Of Touch With Reality? You’re Not Alone
We are undergoing a psychological condition called ‘derealization’. It’s a dissociative disorder which involves disruptions or breakdowns of memory, consciousness, awareness, identity, and/or perception. It’s reported that half of all adults have a derealization episode in their life, but only 2% suffer from it to an extent they are diagnosed with it and need treatment.
Right now, almost all of us are going through an episode of it. If we’re aware of reality, that is. You’d almost be more crazy not to be experiencing it.
Are you experiencing the following?
Detached from your environment.
Distorted perception of time, space, and size of things around you.
Feeling of unreality from the world around you, as if in a dream or trance.
Feeling as if everything is foggy, fuzzy, or warped.
Sense of being disconnected from those around you as if you’re trapped in a bubble.
Thoughts of going crazy or being very ill.
Yeah. Thought so. Who are you, anyway? Are you really there?
Even Cool Gus is looking a little dazed and confused.
