Hi floatingbridge,
I am also experiencing waves of depression and crying jags. My derealization symptoms started in 2007...
It's interesting that you experienced this as part of depression. Do you have bipolar II or strictly depression?My doctor had taken away one of my antidepressants a few months ago and I'm thinking possibly that could have made things worse. I'm going to talk to him about this...
Thank you for your support!
