When Life Feels Like a Dream You Can’t Wake Up From
Derealization and depersonalization can make you feel like you’re losing your grip on reality. This isn’t about “snapping out of it” it’s about holding onto small anchors that remind you: you’re still here, and this moment will pass.
DP/DR affects up to 2% of the population at some point in their lives.
It’s often triggered by stress, trauma, or nervous system overload.
Grounding techniques (like sensory focus) are the fastest way to interrupt the fog.
You’re not “going crazy” — DP/DR is a protective response, not a sign of losing your mind.
