As I go down the road of my recovery, my perception of reality changes. (so does the truth about that reality).


Somehow, I am conciously trying to find out what is broken. I can then go about fixing, or at the very least, acknowledge these shortcomings. (knowledge is half the battle).

Sometimes I believe, that confusion leading to enlightenment are also touchstones of growth.

Anywho, I was trying to connect the dots by searching along the lines of different mental disorders and I stumbled upon two different terms:


Depersonalization: The loss of ordinary or unreality of ones sense of self.

~and~

Derealization: Perception that the outside world is strange or unreal.
