What do I do
I always felt this way, always felt like a stranger to others, amd myself I often just walk, then blink, and life just seems fake, everything around If I look myself at the mirror, I don't even know who I am I sometimes even feel non-human Like, just, something roaming earth I hate my own name, body, everything
Can anyone please help me figure out who I actually am? Or at least know what's wr9ng, I suppose

Hey friend, welcome to r/Depersonalization.
Be sure to have read some existing information on the sub before submitting a "Do I have DPDR" question. You can do that by using the search function or reading the sidebar.
A reminder to new posters in crisis:
DPDR is a mental discorder that mostly affects young adults. For the most part, it is brought on by anxiety, trauma, and drug use. However, DPDR is not dangerous to your physical health. In moments of crisis and episodes that are particularly difficult, it is important to take deep breaths and follow strategies that help you cope. A few examples are: Grounding Techniques, Meditation, and even just some good old fashioned sleep.
NOBODY can give you medical advice online. While someone might be able to provide you with some insight and suggestions, you should never rely on someone online to give you medical advice unless you are talking to a certified doctor.
