From the opening chapter

Imagine waking up one day to find the world feels strangely unreal, as though you're observing life unfold from behind a glass window. Or perhaps you feel disconnected from your own body, as if you're merely an observer in your own existence. These unsettling sensations are the hallmark of depersonalisation and derealisation, conditions more common than many might realise. Depersonalisation refers to a sense of detachment from oneself, while derealisation involves a sense of detachment from the world around you. Together, they form a curious and often distressing pair. Studies suggest that transient experiences of depersonalisation or derealisation are surprisingly widespread, affecting nearly half of the population at some point. However, when these experiences become chronic or recurrent, they can lead to diagnosable conditions. Despite their prevalence, depersonalisation and derealisation are often misunderstood, leaving those who experience them grappling with confusion and fear. Many describe it as living in a perpetual dream-like state, where reality feels slippery and ill-defined.
