    It's called depersonalisation or derealisation. Basically your body knows it's going through stress and it produces a sedative effect to try and block out or repress what ever it is that's disturbing you. It's normal don't worry about it, just go with it and it will improve as your depression/ anxiety does.

    This is not bipolar in case you thought it may be, the switches are far too fast for that disorder and also not substantial enough. You'd need to be higher than that - manic for a week or more with crashing depressions of more than 2 weeks and often months

    Hon, it replaced into stressful for you dealing with what you probably did with your mom & all (noticeably at your age & in college). in case you may, please imagine about checking into seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist. Ask your dad or an aunt in case your mom isn't as a lot as that communicate. it may be powerful for you to confer with someone & get on some drugs on your pressure (if only for a short while). you mustn't ought to conflict through like this & my heart aches for you. you're basically too youthful for this, so please be sturdy adequate to attain out for help. Prayer is functional too, as God is the astounding healer of all. With Him all issues are a possibility - even for you to get the help you elect. the concern with this kind of blended melancholy is that it doesn't get more effective advantageous through itself. you prefer to get to the bottom of it & fix it before you initiate imagine about putting "band-aids" on it.
