Yes, I’m mostly over it.
I get derealization panic attacks. It mainly happens when I travel in public at night time. I think the dark triggers it. I feel disconnected from my surroundings and my mind goes a bit foggy. I hate the feeling so much. I had it mild an hour ago but I’m at home in my bedroom so it wasn’t that intense and it feels like it passed.
Technically, derealization is not psychosis and not a loss of reality testing. It’s not a loss of contact of reality but a feeling of unreality.
At my worst, I couldn’t tell if my doctor was real or not but I knew it didn’t make sense. Not sure if my experience was psychosis or not.

Mine got so bad I suffered from self diagnosed solipsism. I mentioned cotards syndrome to my therapist before but I just looked it up. I lost bodily sensation and thought I was being simulated on a cosmic hard drive by God.
