over the past couple years ive noticed a odd pattern. mental illness is becoming more and more prevalent and obvious. is this a factor of the internet? has diagnosing gotten better? or have we started to become ill to some external factor (conspiracy). derealization is something that i believe ive had on and off for the last 2 years or so. i dont really know what could be causing it but i feel awful most times.

what is your opinion on this?

personally i think your right on that tho, as many teens and young adults in my generation have more and more of these problems. i see it very frequently too. And with your derealization all i could think of is a personality disorder or drug use. maybe I'm just un educated but i personally have it and its been happening to me for almost 3 years now. this is due to an addictive personality trait i gained when i was young. at a young age i started smoking and experimenting with drugs. and i think due to a long term marijuana use that still has a grip on me till this day causes it . its weird tho because i know its there constantly its just kind of something I've gotten used to and learned to live with. when i was 15 i did acid and had a terrible trip. i met multiple entities and was in a very bad headspace at the time, i believed it would help me open up more and clear my head but all it did was cause a permanent split in my brain. i never did acid after until i was 17 because i was so fearful of what i would feel and shit but when i took it at 17 it was like a feeling of nirvana and it truly showed me some crazy shit in my own head. moral of the story don't do acid at a young age and don't smoke till your frontal lobes develop cause otherwise they just wont lol.
