Ive read a few people their recovery was gradual. What does that mean? Days, weeks, months? From the time you stopped having panic attacks, how long did recovery take?
You aren't cured then.Hi! I consider myself as "cured", by that i mean I've learned to cope with dp over the last couple of years, so it barely bothers me anymore. Haven't had any full blown panic attacks since 2011.
First i decided and promised myself to try to live as I didnt have DP, and I didnt let it stop me from doing things I normally would do. My focus gradually started to shift to other things, and I felt more normal as time went by.
I HAVE felt DP feelings since then, but Im getting better at controlling it and shifting my focus.
Just keep distracting yourself, and make a deal with yourself that you will live as normally as possible, and DP will fade eventually.
I've never said I have a lame life. I have a pretty great life, actually.cope with it? Dude. I feel like I just cant enjoy my life, is that something I can cope with? are you just accepting a lame life? or are you forcing your self to do stuff regardless of enjoyment?
If it was just disassociation feeling, that I can cope with. but the depression and lack of joy shit, that no, I will never be able to cope with
Who are you to decide whether im cured or not?You aren't cured then.
Do you still feel as if you are getting rid of DP slowly, or is it there permamently but at a mild state?Hi! I consider myself as "cured", by that i mean I've learned to cope with dp over the last couple of years, so it barely bothers me anymore. Haven't had any full blown panic attacks since 2011.

I've noticed that once I start focusing and concentrating on other things than my DP, I feel normal. If I start dwelling on my DP, sure, I get DP'd feelings.Do you still feel as if you are getting rid of DP slowly, or is it there permamently but at a mild state?

You said it yourself. You cope with it. People cope with AIDS, people cope with cancer and people cope with depersonalization. Until you get over resolve your issues you will have this.Hi!

what can make you feel like yourself? I would give anything to be the old me.You'll not get an answer to this question. Recovery depends on how YOU take the steps that are needed. It'll happen in your tempo and in your way.
Full recovery can happen in weeks, and you can realize very important things which'll make you feel a lot like yourself literally in seconds.
I read the article, and feel that this guy didn't get back to himself, he took the philosophical way of "becoming free and finding my true self". Didn't you really feel that he was dream talking? Lol. I wouldn't trust a post like that. After all, this "finding your true self" is what got me to get rid of my old self to become what they call free and on my "true" purpose. And the title is, "finding one's self", not getting yourself back, the title is intentional, it's a "new true self", they are all the same.http://inspirepub.hubpages.com/hub/Finding-Ones-Self---Recovery-From-Dissociation This person.
