I feel like nobody really talks about relationships on here, probably because most of you don’t exhibit an interest in them anymore due to dp/dr. The strange thing about my dp is that my interest in relationships has increased tremendously since I got dp. I think it’s due to the fact that before I got dp I felt like I could count on myself but now I can’t do that anymore. Dp made me feel like my own brain betrayed me and I still haven’t gotten over it. So now I feel like I get obsessed with people I talk to? Like I get so attached to them I feel like I’m going mad. I kinda got over it but I definitely feel like there’s a void that I need to fill now. Can someone relate?

I agree with everything you said except the last part. Before I got dp I was very self sufficient. I actually got out of a relationship which made me feel very imprisoned and when I got out of it I started acting like a lunatic and then I got over it and I was so happy at that point. I felt so good whenever I was alone and I never had to rely on other people.

When dp hit me everything changed, now I am constantly searching for the right person who will understand me and who will distract me from my internal chaos. I hate dp so much. And same. Alcohol kinda takes my anxiety away but it makes me feel quite stupid.
