Hi danyankefoxtrot,
Sorry, I personally haven’t experienced the magnified perspective that you described. So my personal understanding is admittedly rather limited but I still wanted to say hello and try to gently support you. I hope that’s okay. Hopefully others who have personally experienced depersonalisation will reach out to you soon...
DP sounds very unsettling and scary at times to constantly have to second guess what you’re seeing. It must be very confusing and distressing...

Hi again,
My apologies, oh dear, I accidentally hit “post this reply” before I had finished writing....
So I guess to continue from my above post...
I was wondering if you have ever spoken to anyone about how you have been feeling/what you have been seeing. For example, family and friends and/or professional support.
If you haven’t already, my gentle suggestion is to speak to your GP as a starting point to see what she or he says. S/he might be able to refer you to a psychiatrist plus discuss the possibility of a mental health care plan with you.
Also, with my limited knowledge, I have heard that psychotherapy is often used to treat depersonalisation and it can involve things like learning coping strategies, symptom distraction tools and dealing with any underlying trauma and other MH conditions. So maybe this is something you might like to look into...
I know it must be such a frightening experience for you so I’m glad you are reaching out. I feel that’s very brave...if you’re feeling comfortable writing here, you‘re more than welcome to continue using this space to chat, vent, ask questions, etc as there are many caring members who want to listen.
Warm and kind thoughts,
Pepper
