Sure, I get them mixed as well. I try to remember that depersonalization pertains to personal/internal sensations and derealization describes reality/external perception.
depersonalization: a state in which one's thoughts and feelings seem unreal or not to belong to oneself, or in which one loses all sense of identity.
derealization: an alteration in the perception or experience of the external world so that it seems unreal.
I found out the other day a friend also experiences this. I have symptoms of both and she mostly has derealization. I only got a name for it recently from a therapist, but not a diagnosis. It makes more sense than other things doctors have pushed at me and can be mistaken for them easily.
I don't see my body from above, but I feel like I am watching my thoughts and actions from the inside. I cruise through life and don't always know what I am doing until i try to think about it. I know I'm real but I don't feel like I'm real. I know the world is real but I feel like I move around in a box.
In the 90s these people used to travel around malls selling vhs tapes. You'd take some props and go on a little stage. It could be a fake car or motorcycle or boat or plane or rollercoaster etc. There'd be a green screen behind you and you could do whatever. On the vhs you'd have moving scenery instead of the green screen and music to accompany it. I almost feel like this, thing are moving around me but they are fake. I know they're not fake.
These things are general, constant experiences for me but sometimes I have worse attacks. I can't remember emotions even when I know I felt them. They go away very fast. I know there are consequences to things. There's more to explain but I can't think of some right now
