I think @Moon needs some time for himself. There’s too much going on. Are you able to relax at all @Moon?

Ok, I understand!
I’m sorry about your job and dog.
I lost my cat 5 years ago and I still talk to him, like he was here.
Try to rest as much as you can. Take it easy.
And congratulations for getting married. That must be something to look forward to?

This feels like how derealization is described but everywhere im reading says people with derealization know theyre feelings are just feelings but i genuinely cant tell if anything is real or not.

When I had derealization I was seriously convinced I died and was in the afterlife or something along those lines.

Sure felt real when I banged my knee on the metal steps at work the other day. Still hurts to bend my knee. If that aint real, I dont know what is.
Sorry you are struggling moon.

Idk I had this too, trying to break away from this reality or doubting it. I try to make my peace with it because it’s honestly the only reality I know. Maybe society is some sort of matrix. But a lot of people have this. Think it’s more tied to being in a mentally bad space. If the thoughts come up I’ll listen to Alan watts

Your head is making things feel unreal
to protect you from breaking down.
It’s pulling you back so you don’t crash.
From what you describe everything is happing all at once.
