I must say in light of your words of wisdom, yes, I liken it to a scalpel having excised half of me away.

Also, depersonalization. Like it's really not real.

Someone wrote something on DU that resonated exactly with me. I believe she lost a young son or brother. She said it had become as if she simply just 'imagined him' after some time had passed.
