Fake reality

[starlitsky]

I just kind of want to know if other people feel like this and if it's worth going to the doctors about or if they'll just laugh it away.

It's going to sound crazy but basically I don't feel real. I feel I'm living in a dream and that I have no control over anything. Sometimes I really want to crash my car (or other destructive things) just to try and feel real but then I think about the fact that if I am real it might hurt other people so I don't.

I don't know whether this is normal, I don't know what to say. I really just don't know what to do or who I can talk to about it. Does anyone have any experience of this or advice?

Hi
It's called a dissociative state. It can occur in stress, depression or anxiety (in my experience). Definitely go see your gp about it.
Hope you feel better soon.

Just to echo woolly really. This sound alike dissociation. Possibly a bit of a mix of depersonalisation and derealization. I get similar when I am stressed and it feels a bit like I'm in a sort of virtual reality. It's really hard to explain.

You can absolutely do see your GP about this feeling as it sounds like you are very distressed by it.
