5 years with DR

441 Views 4 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  ThoughtOnFire
I log into this site periodically—usually when I’m having a harder time with DR. I had the realization that the main reason I’m so heavily depressed and su1c1dal is because of this disorder. There’s so many other factors that bring me down, but if I didn’t struggle so much with Derealization I’d be able to tackle most of my issues with a lot more will and determination. It’s been years of having to explain DP/DR to people who’ve never heard of what I’m talking about and who have a difficult time understanding, empathizing, and taking it seriously. I’m tired.

On a similar vein, I've been dealing with loneliness even though I'm quite socially active with those around me and at work with customer service. I get to where I feel that there's nobody to validate or relate to with what I'm going through. It doesn't help that a lot of the symptoms I experience are cross a very wide spectrum. Can't blame others for not knowing what they don't know, though. I suppose strangers on a forum will have to do.

I do believe the reason for existence is to interact with other beings.
