It's a double-edged sword though, without it I would probably float through life detached from it all and alone, thinking that's just how it is. With it, I can be even more detached and alone (though I am showing lots of improvement
), but it was such an intense shock to the system that I knew things had to change and it gave me the motivation to. It's strange to say, but in a meaningful way I am better off having gotten DP. Though, I'm seriously not expecting this to be the case for everyone..So, what kind of person were you in general before you were depersonalized?...and even though Marijuana (or another drug) was the trigger for many of us, I think there are certain negative factors in personality/behavior/thought patterns in our past that precipitates our shared troubles...if you had any, what were they?
[Warning - rambling]: I think it's telling that there's a certain "type" of individual who is more predisposed to getting DP. I actually feel a common bond, familiarity and connection with most of you despite feeling like a weird alien when trying to relate to most people, and even though of course our personalities differ, there's this eerie similarity going on.
