Weed depersonalization how to#
When I tried to describe my symptoms to my family members, they were at a loss.

Not in books, not in films, not even in my years of having a passing interest in psychology and spiritual practice.

When I first experienced depersonalization, ten years ago, I knew nothing about it.
