Believing I'm Dead: Struggling with Depression and Trauma

Does anyone else ever go through periods of believing they're dead? Lately, I've found that when my depression gets bad or I'm particularly struggling with my trauma, I start to believe I'm dead. Like I died years ago, as a kid, and everything I've experienced since is just a case of Follie a Deux amongst those who knew me. I know it doesn't make sense reading it, but it does when I experience it.

Not in a long time, it's a type of disassociation.

I have this same problem. It can last hours and I start questioning everything.

I've never experienced this but do find it quite interesting. Do you have a therapist or someone you can speak to about this. It might be worth trying to see if their is a treatment or diagnosis for it.
