I guess sometimes I'm just so focused on my anxiety and lately my anxiety hasn't even been that bad, but I've been experiencing derealization for a while now and that's about the only symptom I've been experiencing which is a bit annoying. I think the derealization makes me focus on not feeling real and so I can't focus on my friends or other peoples' feelings. Sometimes I feel really selfish like I'm only focusing on my feelings because that's what anxiety is all about, right?

A couple days ago I attended a wedding with my boyfriend. It was a really beautiful wedding, but when I got back home I kinda felt like I didn't have a really good time, but I didn't have a bad time either. I just had...time. Sometimes I think I feel like this because all of my experiences in the past feel like dreams a bit. Nothing feels like they 100% happened even though I know they did. Is this common with anxiety? Or derealization or something? I'm kinda lost on this. :/

Mine isn't so much that I feel like I just spent "time" after an outing(unless it was really miserable and boring), but I get in these moods where nothing SOUNDS fun. I can't find a single damn thing I want to do, even though I would usually jump on the opportunity. On those days I just settle for my couch and some Netflix, even if I end up going between shows and movies all day long haha..

I think it's a pretty common thing to experience this feeling though. Most people would tell you it's more of an effects of depression, if it's happening quiet often. Just a thought.
