I've noticed that it's hard to get sympathy with this disease, as externaly nothing seems to be wrong with me. The other day my friend said that I just need something extra cool happen to me (well I'm getting a hamster, maybe that's the cure for dp) and my psychiatrist says I need to light a candle and buy a chocolate calendar. I doubt she is up to her task, she sounds more like a Christmas jingle than a doctor.

Fire and chocolate are always a good combination.

My psych should get her head examined.

I'm hella-confused, but this time my confusion is justified.

Fire crews tackle hot chocolate

Up to 60 firefighters tackled a blaze involving 450 tonnes of chocolate at a Cadbury factory in Herefordshire.
Crews were called to the Marlbrook plant near Leominster on Friday evening when a fire broke out in a 100ft tall silo containing liquid chocolate.

Although the blaze has been brought under control crews are still at the scene damping down.

An inquiry into the fire has been launched while the company is assessing damage to the production line.

No one was injured in the fire.

I'm sure no one has an idea why there's an article about a chocolate incident there but that's ok...

LMAO...candles and chocolate.

yea, we get no love from anyone with regard to this illness . That's because to the outside observer it appears to be nothing more than self centeredness and attempts at getting attention.

Hi,

As rude as your doctor may seem, hes probably doing you a favor. Most doctors and experts believe that dp/dr is just a bi-product of a state of anxiety(which I believe also) and by getting you to steer your focus from your "mysterious disease" it may help lessen your anxiety and in turn, lessen the dp/dr. Focusing on all your anxiety related symptoms and thinking you have some bizzare incurable disease will only make you feel worse.

dakotajo,

I see your point (although when reading this post it may seem I totally missed it), dp/dr isn?t the core problem but what is behind it and you should focus on dealing with that other stuff. But in my case the problem is that I no longer feel anxious or depressed, (other than relating to dp and it?s annoyingness) , which I did for many many years, so there?s nothing to deal with. Now I kind of understand why I was so anxious and depressed before, but it doesn?t help me with my current situation. I mean nowadays I for example understand why some people don't approach me and I just have to be fine with it. Now I just have this weird state of being, which I hope meds and time will cure. I don?t think therapy can help me, so I?m not frustrated with my therapist, I just think sometimes I can?t help but laugh at her advice. I do think she is not the best you can get, but that?s alright with me.
Okay, I am a bit frustrated with her but she is the best "I" can get. Just had to add.
