There was a poetry assignment, way back in Grade 8, where I wrote about feeling like I was always floating above everything. I drew this little doodled guy to go with it. I was really proud of the poem; I’d never talked to anyone about my floaty feelings. I just assumed everyone felt floaty sometimes and maybe I was just bad at dealing with it? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt wasn’t until years later that I’d see the definitions for the words disassociation, depersonalization, and derealization.
