Is It Normal To Feel Like Your Life Is Surreal? Hard To Explain. I Feel Like There's A Cloud Or Shadow Over Me And That I'm Not Like Other

You might want to look up depersonalization. It happens when you've been depressed for so long that nothing feels real anymore.

Sometimes, I think I see someone rarely, but no hearing of footsteps even with some silence. One time I saw a bat's shadow gliding around my home. At first I thought of bird, then for a split second of brighter lighting was a bat. Some of my dreams they were discount opportunities, but I was just dreaming it.

Winston Churchill expressed feeling that way too.

I often feel that, I'm different than peers of mine. Feel as if my life is surreal as I'm out of step with mankind. I think it's a challenge that some of ús with disorders that feel different have to remìnd us we are ok. Does that make sense?
