Est 2025

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been living with  Depersonalisation Derealisation Disorder (DPDR). It’s a bit of a mouthful, and not the easiest thing to explain.

In simple terms, DPDR is the term given to persistent feelings of detachment and disconnection. From yourself. From the world around you. Like you’re floating through life instead of actually living it.

I created Mostly Kate  as a way to tell my story, raise awareness, and hopefully help someone out there feel a little less alone. This is my space to write through the fog. To capture small, honest moments. To find pieces of myself again, one post at a time.

Maybe you’ve felt it too: the numbness, the constant questioning, the sense that life doesn’t feel quite real. If so, hi. I see you. You’re not broken. And you’re definitely not alone.

I don’t have all the answers (not even close), but I’m here, figuring things out. I’ll be sharing what’s helped, what hasn’t, and everything in between. The weird, the hopeful, the difficult, and the real.

Thank you for being here.
Even if things feel blurry right now, you matter. And you’re doing better than you think.
