Hi there, I've spent months researching this condition and have come across so much valuable knowledge, inspiring stories and advice. I've reached several profound insights on my own, insights I perceived be so powerful they would be impossible to forget. However, I've realised this condition...

Good evening to everyone! I wish good luck to everyone. We have to believe one day will be normal again. We are all fighters. This is my 5 months story until now. After an intense period of psychological stress due to a break up and dismissal from work i felt something in my head like headaches...

Hey all, I love teaching and writing. See, I almost put "loved" instead of "love" there. Without seeming too dramatic right off the bat, that's been a practice for me lately. I feel like I already separated my life into who I was before DPDR, and this weird, messy, spacey blob that I've become...

Good day everyone, I am going through a rough patch and I really need to know if anyone else has had issues with memory and being in a brain fog? I have had DPDR from a few years now but the last few months I have had NO anxiety, NO panic, just an overall sense of being detached and faded. I...

I see a lot of people wondering why their memory is so bad, why they don't feel like themselves, why they look back on years of DP and wonder "how the hell did that go so fast?" It's all connected to your lost sense of time. I saw someone say earlier that our sense of time is off because we're...
