i just found out that The lead singer from Green day had depersonalization disorder, wow i never knew that. This has inspired me.
Now i know 2 famous people with DP 1. Bob Marley 2. Billy Joe Armstrong!

 

[Guest]

Are you serious about those two? I'd like to know where you heard this. Jack Nicholson and Jim Bruer are also supposed to have HPPD, but i doubt it...maybe jim bruer haha. 8)

 

[Guest]

John Lennon also suffered from dp/dr...that's what I read anyway...possibly here??

 

[Guest]

Green Day was nominated for Best Album of the Year. Its official, this country sucks. He wears eyeliner...at least he doesn't do the blazer with the tshirt combo like those notalent, facially deformed freaks in Jet.

are you sure about this? where did you get the info?

as for bob marley and john lennon ive never ever heard anything regarding them having either dp or dr , i mean bob marley smoekd a lot of weed but as far as I know it never had a negative effect on him in regards to his mental health.

 

[Guest]

thats pretty sweet...if u look at some of the lyrics on insomniac,dookie and 1,039 smoothed out slappy hrs theres references to altered states/can imagine them being written in an altered state.....
and jimmy hendrix apparently had hppd...

 

[jc]

john lennon did,but he accepted it,and said that this was his reality

^^
what caused his dp? was it a caused by him taking acid or other drugs, or was it there before he took drugs?

 

[Guest]

I've heard Thom Yorke has it, prob from people on this site. I've always assumed that Elliott Smith had it. If I ever become famous, it will only be because i've made a full recovery and I somehow have something to offer the world.

 

[Guest]

hahaha

who told you this???

btw, Eric Estrada is schizophrenic

I don't know if I buy all that. Anybody who consistently did as many drugs as Bob Marley and John Lennon until the day of their death could say they have DP. Billy Joe Armstrong I can believe. Elliot Smith I can believe, despite his drug problems, he actually committed suicide after he kicked the habit.

I think there are people who just question too much and are existentialist thinkers by nature- in my personal opinion I don't consider that DP.

I read in an article in the NME a while ago that thom yorke hears voices, but he may have been taking the piss, but he did say something about hearing voices and how a lot of creative people hear voices etc etc

His depression has been well documented but ive never heard about him having depesonliseed, but listening to the lyrics of radiohead songs it isn't hard to imagine that he does suffer from some kind of dissasocitive disorder.

 

[Guest]

Who is Tom Yorke?

 

[falling_free]

he's the singer with the band radiohead, quite a famous british indie band,their album KID A was a big hit over in the US a while ago

 

[Guest]

yeah I know who Radiohead is

they had that song " Im A Creep" and " Karma Police" I remember the videos.

 

[falling_free]

interesting fact about thom yorke is that he used to work in a mental hospital, possibly inspired some of the lyrics for his songs?

 

[Guest]

I know that his experience working as an orderly in a mental hospital inspired the song "climbing up the walls." If that song doesn't scare the shit out of you then I don't know what will. Also, their dvd "meeting people is easy," which is a documentary on the OK computer tour, is very dissociative like and eerie. Do not watch it if you are in a severely depersonalized state. I watched it when I was high and it nearly drove me insane.

 

[Guest]

i was watchin vh1 yesterday and then i saw greenday on there so i decided to watch their success story, then he mentioned that he suffered from anxiety and panic attacks and then i thought to myself maybe he has dp, then when he was talkin about it he said "i found out later that i had depersonalization disorder i didn't know they had a name for it i thought i was just losin my mind" so i was like cool at least some famous people have dp and he could of got it from smokin weed and acid because the band did both of those drugs.

 

[Guest]

even IF? he does have DP, dude is probably a millionaire so he can probably get the best treatment possible, I doubt its as bad as anyone on this website. And I saw Greenday performing live on New Years Eve on MTV and they just came out with a new album I think, so he's probably doing ok.

hahaha

who told you this???

btw, Eric Estrada is schizophrenic

you are not accepting of this....acid was the drug of choice in the 60's along with 'ludes' and they caused many a casualty

your black rappers arnt as cool as you think they are.....this is in no way shape or form a racist statement but your musical taste sucks....but then again i hate rap so what do i know....people just have nothing to say nowadays which maybe explains why im so angry all of the time
