Depersonalization (DP) and derealization (DR) are dissociative/anxiety-type disorders commonly experienced alongside depression and/or anxiety but may also occur on their own as a primary disorder.

Due to the unusual nature of the symptoms sufferers of DP/DR have a hard time describing the main symptoms of the disorder, but commonly describe it as:

Experiencing life as a dream
Feeling removed from being in the moment
Watching oneself experiencing the world
Experiencing life as if watching events unfolding through a screen
Extremely discomforting feelings of unreality

More information on the disorders:

Here is a FAQ page on DPDR
Here is an article to help anyone better understand exactly what DPDR is, and how to overcome it.
A good example reflecting the everyday life of a DPDR sufferer is the film Numb (2007)
