The Daydreamer – thanks for your reply. “Depersonalization” not heard that term, but that is exactly how I feel. Can you direct me to somewhere that explains it more, perhaps compartmentalizing how I feel might help. I am not sure that I am taking on emotion of others all the time, if there is no-one around with problems, I seem to keep a revolving tape in my head about issues of the world. I feel stuck with these thoughts, and stuck with not having the physical or emotional energy to do something myself. I know this sounds like depression but it is quite different.
