Hello everyone, I hope I am posting in the correct forum. I have had DPDR symptoms for years but these days I seem to have no anxiety and panic attacks, they have been replaced with chronic brain fog and a general feeling of cognitive decline. I was hoping someone could give me their advice...

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...

I'm scared of leaving the house to go to school for a number of reasons but one of them is because I'm scared that I'm going to completely forget who I am. When I'm walking around school I have to say my name and where I live in my head just to check if I remember. I'm also scared of forgetting...

For about 3-4 months now I've been going through emotional hell with near constant panic attacks, intrusive and obsessive thoughts (specifically that I might be going schizophrenic), and insomnia. I simply cannot think clearly anymore and my memory seems to be like that of a goldfish, sometimes...

I'm so confused right now. I feel almost connected to my surroundings. My emotions are still a little blank and my memory is still shot but I feel as if I'm recovering. But of course, I have to be prepared for worst case scenario... Is it possible that I'm just getting used to the DR? I really...

Hey I have a question DP community, did you guys experience severe memory loss with your DP? I feel that I can follow the basic guidelines for recovery, and I've managed to start to feel much better, but one thing that is persistant is my inability to remember things. I know it's mostly in my...

Hey all, I have asked many questions on this forum, and got some great answers. Now I just don't know what to do anymore... In the beginning stages of this illness, I was terrified. My mind raced with questions 24/7 trying to figure out what was going on with me. I felt as if I was...

Hey guys, I have a weird question, not sure if anyone could relate? I used to have a great ability to sense how other people were feeling. Once I had been around them a couple times I felt as if I could read them like a book. It really helped me with work as I delt with many people on a daily...

Hey all, I had a question regarding the memory issues that I have been experiencing. I have read many posts on this site about memory but haven't been able to satisfy my need to know whats going on. I seem to have lost the ability to remember things properly. As my day goes by I am unable to...

Hey guys, I have been on this site now for a few months and I have got to say it's gotten me through some tough times! I have a question about sleep, and how you all experience it since the DP started. In the beginning I was so stressed out 24/7 that I didn't sleep at all, maybe an hour or...

Hey everyone, I have been suffering from DP/DR constantly for the past two months. I have been an anxious person my entire life, everything worried me and I was definitely a hypochondriac. That has always been a part of me and I understood that, I knew it wasn't healthy but at least I knew who...

Does anyone else get flashes? I don't know how to describe them exactly. Like...I'll be on the internet and see a picture of something that seems completely random, like blue frosting on a really gross looking cookie or sunlight reflecting on a pool or a white tile floor and I'll get a flash of...

Hey, I noticed I have a hard time remembering things since I've gotten DR. I often walk into rooms with an intention to do something, but forget as soon as I get there, and have to stand there a moment, thinking "what did I come in here for?" It drives me crazy, and only gives me another reason...
