Hi Silky,
Did you read up on it, are you sure it is not depersonalization (not that I really know the difference)?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depersonalization
Wiki actually gives a pretty good overview with links to similar issues and cited resources in the bottom.
I don't know the brain chemistry behind it, but over my lifetime, I've experienced depersonalization about 5 times from severe anxiety or panic attacks, ranging from mild to moderate-severe. Do you have GDD?
Hang in there!
