Alter Ego, derealisation and feelings of unreality
By nature, I am a very able and capable person, I know it's easy for me to be able to do things without any problems, i.e I get on with things everyday with no issues, have a lot of confidence within my abilities etc (but never compare or think of myself better than anyone else)
I created an alter ego, which basically doesn't exist. It's a suppressed version of me. I know what my normal self (my identity, what sets me as a person (NOT PERSONALITY) is doing/thinks/feels. But I'm not in my natural self. I am half a person/a spin off of myself. I don't know what I really think and feel (by nature, i/e natural progression of thoughts and feelings)
I don't know what to do, I wish I could go back in time to undo the time I accidentally created it. It's like I'm living in a bubble. I've been diagnosed with depersonalisation. I really dont know what to do next. All i wish is to go back in time, or resort to drugs. -
Re: Alter Ego, derealisation and feelings of unrealityYeah there's links to that. I think it comes down to a case of questioning myself- had I been confident in the first place it wouldn't have happened.(Original post by Dee Leigh)
I don't believe I totally relate to you, but I used to create another version of myself, in fact sometimes I still do. It's down to the fact that from an early age, I had extremely low self-esteem and self-hatred.
