Hi Tg,
My feelings during an attack always felt like I was in slow motion (even though my thoughts were flooding and my heart was racing) and the rest of the world was speeding by me. Kinda like a VCR tape stuck on pause, with the rest of the world or surroundings on play or fast forward, that I couldnt connect to them, for it was going to fast. -that would be my detached feeling.
My depersonalization feeling would have come after the attack and linger for days, this is not me, it doesnt feel like me, who am I?, what happened to me that I didnt see it when I lost me? Sometimes it got bad that I wondered if I had a multiple personality disorder, and was watching this other side of me appear but knew it wasnt me, hard to explain.
Trish
