depersonalization?

lately i have been feeling what i think is depersonalization.  whenever someone calls me on the phone or speaks to me i feel extremely disconnected or detached, like i have no sense of identity,  i am not engaged in the conversation, i am just trying to act normal and say what they want to hear. when they are talking my mind starts to wonder off, i have no focus.

Anxiety can cause this, some meds can cause this, exhaustion can cause it and even some infections can cause this, like middle ear infections.
Just about all of us on this forum know and understand how disturbing and frightening depersonalization can be. You're not going crazy and it will pass.
I would strongly suggest you see your doctor to rule out an organic cause and if that is negative, have a frank discussion about anxiety.
