I dealt with symptoms of DP/DR for many years without understanding them as such. Now that I am in therapy, I have started being able to track my symptoms more clearly. What I am discovering is that while some of my DP/DR symptoms are ALWAYS present (visual snow, for example), I am actually...

So its been about almost 9 months since I first acquired Depersonalization and I honestly have to say that its 90% gone. I don't have panic attacks anymore. I have been much happier. Life has been going pretty good for myself. I am not sure if it was the prozac that helped or just the warm...

Being a Sophomore in high school life really isn't surprisingly the greatest. The stress from school and peers is just a shitty feeling and in all honestly I cannot wait to start on with my life after school. The one thing that scares me is that later in life though I might find myself alone and...

Suffering from DPD is a scary and mind changing thing but in life we learn to over come our fears which make us stronger individuals. I am still not 100% recovered but I am happy. Yes at times the world may seem unreal or I have irrational paranoia and anxiety because of it but I learn to be...

This has been going on nearly a year now. It's just like I have no body and I'm just floating, like a ghost, feeling weird and detached, hoping that no one's going to pick up on how strange I feel. I've been on and off meds for the past year for anxiety and depression, but nothing has really...

My DP/DR goes through a whole range of severity and different sensations, but lately, the best word to describe what I'm feeling is "fractured." I feel as though my brain has been sliced clean in half - one half wakes up in the morning, drinks tea, feels hunger and thirst and fatigue, decides...

Liotti, Giovanni It has been suggested that multiple personality disorder (MPD) may be seen as an attachment disorder, related to the process of detachment (Barach, 1991). To think in terms of disorganized/disoriented (D) attachment seems a better way of conceptualizing not only MPD, but all...

It's difficult to know where to start with 2 years of depersonalization and derealization triggered from a series of traumatic events. I guess that getting everything out in the open, my train of thoughts up until now and my emotions about what's happened would help me, as I haven't felt...

http://www.psychotherapy.net/article/complex-ptsd Really informative and well written article. I recommend reading through it all, it consists of dissociation and roots of it. note that excessive sleeping can also be classified as running away from emotions, no wonder I have done that all the...

Hi i am brand new to this site and never have done anything like this before, but I want to see if anyone can relate to me. I recently began seeing a therapist for the first time for my trouble with a domestic violence issue. After a few weeks of therapy talking things out, and realizing the...

What I get a lot especially in school sitting in class is that I'd feel that I've just woken up all of a sudden and i forget what happened to me before I felt this. I remember what happened to me like half an hour ago but I don't remember what happened right before that episode. Is this...

SO I have been thinking lately, I just hit an emotional trigger and I was wondering if Trauma and DP/DR are truly related? I would also like to add, is it possible to be constantly dissociated with DP/DR? cuz I feel I am all the time. I don't even want to share the trauma right now cuz I am...

Hi everyone. I'm not entirely sure where to start with this introduction, as I've stumbled upon this forum so many times looking for answers but always been hesitant to join. I think that after almost 2 years of debilitating depersonalisation that I just need reassurance, to find people who...
