    Hey I am Sandy i am 25 and i have been struggeling with my mental health for the past 8 years. I have always been an anxious child (fear of germ, hiv, etc) but it was kinda in control. Fast forward to 2016 i was at a festival and took XTC. Since then everything changed. I do not need to explain...

    I (F24) got my dpdr from trauma (r*** a few years ago) I just went on a 2nd date with a guy I've been chatting to, and I just... don't remember it. I was overthinking the 'what-ifs' of the date a week before since I knew I'd be staying over at his house. Anyway some..... stuff (wink-wonk)...

    About 6 months ago, I recovered from OCD that I’d been suffering from since being a little kid (I turned 18 a few months ago). Ever since then, I’ve felt like a complete stranger to myself and the world around me. I wish there were some way, somehow, to understand the meaning of my experiences -...
  4. Recovery Stories
    Ok, I'm leaving my legacy here. There will be some triggers in here I’m sure. I also don’t know how much I am able to write because I don’t remember all and writing a sentence is burning my brain. If this can help one person, then this is worth it. Also because I’m incessantly thinking about it...

    Hi all, Firstly, having read a few of your stories I am so sorry for what you have been going though. It really is something that I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy. The variety of things that can trigger DP is fascinating. Sadly, many triggers are caused by the actions of others, most of whom...

    Hey guys, I’ve been dealing with dpdr for about a year and a half now and I’ve recently been going through some newer scarier symptoms which feel so much more intense and wanted to see if anyone feels like this too. So my dpdr is chronic 24/7, so I feel out of body 24/7 but lately it’s more like...

    Last Sunday, I took Dicloretadine due to a severe allergic rhinitis flare-up, and then that day I didn't feel as detached as I had before. This Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and today, I also took a dicloretadine (5mg/tablet/d) My DPDR seems to have disappeared. After looking up some information...

    hello again!!! I have been starting to do my agoraphobia exposures, and one thing i have noticed is that I am constantly feeling unreal. Ive had dpdr before, nothing new to me but it has never been this constant and it freaks me out. For example when im talking, I get scared of my own voice cuz...

    Hey guys, my name is George and I'm 26 years old. I got DPDR on October 9th 2019 and today I can say that I made huge progress towards my 100% recovery, so I came back to write about it. I'm not 100% recovered but I can say that I reached the classic 90%.I got DPDR due to anxiety and stress...
  11. Introduce Yourself
    So I’ve had anxiety since my early 20s. I’ve been on Lexapro for 5 years at just 5mg which was helping me. Occasionally I’d have a panic attack or anxiety and then that would be it. After contracting covid in dec of 2022, I’ve since been experiencing severe anxiety. With dpdr. It’s debilitating...

    I have severe DPDR with extreme memory problems for the last 1 year. I've noticed a few things during sleeping. Firstly, when I'm trying to fall asleep, my mind is racing thru things, constantly changing what I'm thinking about (I guess that's pretty normal). Notice that at this point I'm not...

    Hi everyone, first of all, I am so thankful that I found this platform. The story I´m about to tell really fucked me up from February till today and I think it will affect my future romantic relationships a lot. Finding some stories about people who dated someone with DPDR made me feel less...
  18. Introduce Yourself
    Hi everyone, I’m so new to this but I found this site on Google and am somewhat relieved that after months of being terrified that I was actually going insane, other people experience this too. I’m in therapy and my therapist truly believes that I’m experiencing dp/dr as a result of me healing...

    Two years ago, I'm pretty sure I came down with COVID. This was right before COVID hit the U.S., before quarantine, and schools closing. Because of this, I was never tested (hospitals weren't even doing COVID tests yet). I was sick with what I thought was the flu for about a week, but no fever...
