I guess I've always felt somewhat younger, since my life as I recall it didn't really start until I was 22 and met my husband. (who would comment on me and talk about things and make me feel like a stable person who existed through time). I know all about depersonalization and derealization, however. When I first started therapy I was assaulted by those feelings. I could not stand being alone, and I worked at home. It was horrible. I actually started hearing voices. I wish you luck. It's hard to work through all this s**t.
