britters,
I think Janine hit on the head with that little excerpt of yours. I got out of the depersonalization stuff a couple years ago and got much, much better - it was about that time that I began to realize that trying to analyze yourself, deeply, was like trying to bite your own teeth. The mind not only is defined as that which thinks - but is responsible for the definition.
We continuously run ourselves up against the boundaries of the human psyche - and it pisses us off (and freaks us out) to no end that we have "hit something" that we can't explain psychologically. Kind of like running into something in the dark - while some simply say "eh, whatever" - we start imagining all kinds of wacked out things.
The universe is bizarre.
