I have derealization feelings which culminate in 'attacks' which are like seizures and I feel out of this world....extremely scary.....
I also have depersonalisation syndrome which started around 7 years of age when I looked in a mirror.....
I believe these syndromes are due to abnormal neurotransmition in the anterior cingulate gyrus in the brain, the place where scientists deeply suspect is the "I" feeling we have.....
Good luck and take benzos...they save lifes!
