Nothing feels real and I don’t feel like myself

[jakerjays]

For so long I've felt like I was supposed to be dead, not even not born, just dead. Like I died the moment I decided I was going to commit suicide back when I was 12 and it's only gotten worse.

I had a bad breakdown back in June and I feel less distressed now but it feels like a part of me never came back. Everything feels flatter. I told myself that if I ever started feeling better then I had to kill myself anyway to avoid that distress again. It feels like I'm looking back on another person who once had this body, if that makes sense.
When I look at myself it just doesn't feel like me. The best way I can describe it is as a video game avatar or something. I can see everything but it doesn't feel like I'm looking through my eyes. I feel disconnected from everything, like none of my relationships are personal, just a product of lots of different actions that came together to produce a friendship.

I don't know why I feel this way. Hopefully somebody on here can relate to my experience

I can feel this too. It seems like DPDR. One of the worst thing I've experienced in this shitty miserable life. But you're not alone having weird feelings.
My brain is fucked since I was born. I wish I wasn't born. Now I'm 43 and I hope it will be over soon because I cannot handle pain anymore.
I send you hugs and I hope you'll find relief

I agree, this sounds like depersonalization/derealization.

Thank you, I really appreciate that you relate to my experience.
I hope that you can find some peace.

I hope too. I cannot handle it anymore. Now I have nausea because of anxiety and I'm so nervous inside and tired. I have this problem since I was 16 in high school because of stress / agoraphobia. Unfortunately there is no magic button. The brain is so complicated...
