Depersonalization is a feeling of detachment from yourself or looking at yourself as an outsider would.You may also feel separated from parts of your body or feel detached from your emotions,like a robot or an automation.Basically you,as a person doesnt seem real.You feel like you are watching yourself from the outside world.
It can be described as....-an out of body episode
-loss of feeling in parts of your body
-distorted perceptions of your body
-feeling of being invisible
-inability to recognize yourself in a mirror
-sense of detachment of your emotions
-impression of watching a movie of yourself
-feeling of being unreal or a robot
-sense of being split into an observer and a participant
