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

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.
