Never the same.

Ive had this feeling of looking out a window , like iam locked inside of my body and iam just looking through a glass window . I can hear myself talk and interact with people but it doesn't feel right and no iam not crazy! Its realy hard to explain . When i was young i was outside playing and it was really hot . I got dizzy and feel and Ive never  felt like iam here again, like when i was young. I know i sound crazy but iam not, ive been living like this for 35 years and its gotten old and iam really searching for someone  with the same symptoms.

I have that feeling at times but my disability is neurological. However, dissociation usually comes from a psychiatric disability. It can come on in attacks as it does in me with neurological disabilities such as temporal lope epilepsy but if it occurs all the time it might indeed be a symptom of depression. But if you can communicate with people and relate to them and don't feel depressed or psychotic and there are some feelings of unreality you can't explain you might best speak to a neurologist as well. People seemed to have bumped this thread from a year ago so if you care to you could tell us how you followed up.

I constantly feel like this.
I feel... Different.
I'm typing right now but I don't feel like I am, as if I am just watching me type.
I don't like feeling like this, I feel like I'm insane or brain damaged or something.
I have sever chronic anxiety, and I think it's really starting to take a toll on my psychological state of mind.
I wish I felt normal again...

The feeling of something ''not right'' is a sign of depression. It sounds like depersonalizaion or derealization, go hand in hand with depression and anxiety. You are NOT crazy. I have had these symptoms after great anxiety and they last for weeks.
