Is it? I think so because...maybe noone has done it for 6 years straight like I have and I have become depersonalized not derealized meaning I still know I'm in reality but seem to be disconnected from the self and 'seeing' and being the self from 3rd person view as a result of thinking that I may be dreaming and wanting to be lucid in a dream. But then again people are not made the same so maybe it will not affect other people as much as it does to me. So is depersonalization a side effect as in that it happened to you.
