I can’t get over this symptoms I don’t know if I’ve damaged my brain that processes that my speech originated from me or I’m psychotic , but Eversongle time I speak it’s like I can hear my voice but I have no choice what I want to say or got no connection to it like I can just hear my voice and me speaking , but my brain is completely silent not thoughts and words are coming out , I really can’t get over this symptom or accept it because it’s to strange it’s like I have no control over what I say or get to process what I say , and I feel like I’ve started speaking awkward saying stuff. I wouldn’t normally say or rubbish conversation , and because my brain is completely blank as I’m speaking it’s the wierdest sensation like I’m just observer of someone’s life speaking because I have no thoughts please say somone else experiences this

Same here bro, What really upsets me is when I'm speaking with someone and I realized me own voice so I'm unable to finish what I was talking. What really let me worried is if someday I become unable to speak at all and get fired because my job requires me to make presentations to a bunch of people and most of the time my dp/dr gets really high during the presentations. It is like I switched the autopilot and there is another guy speaking for me

All dp/dr. Relax

I had that exact same thing for a few weeks, when I was experiencing the onset of my depersonalization and I was really freaking out. There's probably a relationship between anxiety and depersonalization, like how Diego said the effect becomes more acute during presentations. Like Aridity said, the best thing you can do is try to relax. Relaxing won't necessarily make your depersonalization go away but it will help your health and sanity in the long run. Almost nobody on DPSH has brain damage, and I assume you've been medically cleared, so that's your anxious mind coming up with scary scenarios. Stress and anxiety can definitely harm the brain, but it's not damage in the sense of having a stroke or hitting your head. The way the brain functions under anxiety changes, and that's probably what you're experiencing. If you're really spooked you can get thyroid and hormone levels tested, or a brain scan, but I think they'll find nothing.

I know, it's a classic symptom of DR and it sucks. When it happened to me it was like my physical mouth was closed, or as if I did not feel it and someone else was speaking through a speaker. It feels very weird and it feels like I am not present in the conversation. The person in front of me think they are talking to me, but actually they are talking to a kind of robot body and I am buried inside and they can't see me. They think they are talking to me but they are not, and it made me even more self conscious. But the thing is, from the outside nobody could see that there was anything wrong with me, they just saw someone who maybe looked a bit more nervous than the normal population, at most, maybe they felt like I was a bit distracted by thoughts, but nobody ever told me anything. I think we look totally normal to others. It lasted a while, but it finally went away very slowly. How is your current state? Did it improve a little, got worse, or stayed the same?

This is may be my most hated DPDR symptom after maybe the feeling of being stupid and the short-term memory. If you're new to this, i feel you. But you can always heal. And if you don't, I assure you that, save for some occasional spikes, you will not be able to even tell the difference from before. Stay strong man.

Totally not alone. I haven't been diagnosed either, but it is comforting to know that that feeling might have an answer. And if you're scared like me in how you might say it to a professional, just read that whole thing out — actually reading it might be a bit more grounding and might make you feel less "apart" from yourself.
