How new is your baby? It can take some time to get back into the swing of things after having a baby.

Oh yes, you do have your plate full!

I have experienced this - derealization/depersonalization.
Its actually a symptom of PTSD but I don't know if it surfaces in other psychological disorders. Extreme stress triggers it.

I would advise you to ask your doctor for a referral to a psychiatrist for a proper diagnosis. Its definitely not normal, and you need to get it properly attended to.

Best wishes and congratulations on your new baby.

The baby is amazing. She is so cute and healthy. I had a rough delivery. I'm seeing my psychiatrist on Friday.

My experience with severe anxiety is filled with all kinds of strange symptoms, including all the symptoms you described. They can be so desturbing at times I dont care to tell anyone not even my therapist.

Wanted to encourage you. I have been fighting brain tumors for over 11 years and raising a 14 year old son and hanging on to a marriage with a very aggressive husband. Let me put it this way he served in the 82nd in Fayettevile, NC as an Army Ranger for many years. When we got pregnant with our one and only child Mike made the choice to exit the Army for work with the FBI. He went all the way through their hiring process which took months. And was told he was hired and that we needed to move to Quantico, VA for his training. BUT then we got letter #2 he failed the hearing test and therefore was not eligable for the position. His commission had already been placed and that is the kind of thing that you can not undo. So he found another job teaching at ETSU in Johnson City, TN. That lasted one semester. B/C soldiers do what they are ordered to do, and college kids DO NOT!! So from there he applied and got a job as Director of Security. And is quickly moved into the Chief of Operations for the whole hospital. This is the hospital where I had my first craniotomy. Which went flawlessly. Surgery on Sunday morning. Home by Friday afternoon (petrified to be going home!) Then we had alost 5 good years with montthly MRI's, and then that fateful September day the MRI came back with new growths, can you feel my world falling in and around me?? They started with Cyber Knife treatment which is a very directed form of radiation. BUT that didn't even come close to what we needed it to! Then came the big decision of to do another surgery which would be very risky, but if I didn't have it I would die very quickly (hind site being 20/20, I think I overstepped my bounds by pushing forward with this surgery it did nott go well at all. Ended up in a Rehab hospital in GA for nearly 6 months had to learn to walk again had feeding tube Could NOT speak! Had to wear diapers! At 28 years of age!! No vanity left here that is for sure. Needless to say I have made it through physically but my depression is so extreme I have no desire to do anything more then spend the day in bed asleep or watching TV!
I KNOW THIS IS NO WAY TO LIVE BUT I FEEL LIKE I AM RUNNING IN QUICKSAND!

Yep. I experience "emotional disconnectedness" when I'm at work and don't really want to be there, dealing with people I don't really want to deal with.

Thanks a lot for your replies. Ya my moods have been all over the place, I've been so weepy and anxious. I've read that the disassociated feeling can be triggered by panic attacks. I will for sure mention it to my doctor. I also think it could be being caused a little by my medicine. I've heard that zoloft can do that sometimes. But I really trust my psychiatrist, and he deals with a full range of psychiatric issues so I'm going to talk to him about it.
I do notice when I am with my daughter I am so present and there and it's like all the feelings go away. Last night we took a bath together and it was the most joyous I've felt in days. When we play it all melts away. All of it.
