Don't feel real

Struggling with BPD and anxiety problems. But recently have been experiencing a new problem of not feeling real. I feel like reality itself is real but I do not. I've checked depersonalisation and it doesn't feel like that and it doesn't feel like any kind of disassociation I've experienced.
I do feel like I am unreal and the world is. I feel physically unable to hold myself up, as if I'm too heavy for my body and slump in my chair like I'm weighted down and feel like myself and my body are not the same.
Has anyone ever experienced anything similar, know what this be or know any ways to make myself feel 'real' again?
Thanks

You sure it's not dissociation/de realisation/depersonalisations?

I've had similar before where I've been unable to move, it's like a scary attack of being aware but out of control and my partner guides me to bed and hugs me until I'm out of it. I usually then cry because it's scary.

I often as well when I'm struggling with that stuff, I feel like I'm an unreal robot, and the world is unreal. Like sims, and that other people are all robots. It's really strange. X

I forgot to mention that sleeping it off helps me.

I tried grounding techniques as much as i could and I ever tried to SH. But i was struggling to move due to the way my body felt like dead weight. And I knew the world was real, I could tell that. But I didn't feel like I was real.

I have BPD and sometimes I get really bad disassociation/depersonalisation. I find that speaking to people who know me well and doing familiar stuff with them. Listening to music I'm familiar with that grounds me or films that grounds me also helps. I don't know if you tried that yet? I know that it's tempting to SH but it can make you even more separated from the world. *offers hugs*
