Hi,

I went to the site amazon.com and it says that the book Feeling Unreal: Depersonalization Disorder and the Loss of Self will be released in february 2006.... I ordered it and it was saying january 2005. I am deceived

Anyway, just to let you know.

oK then maybe you are just depressed or too anxious. But some here feel intense depersonalization / derealization symptoms.

I agree Cynthia. What we must realize is that yes, WE do know all about derealization and depersonalization, but many people do not. Many doctors, psychologists, therapists, don't know anything about dp and can't even begin to help us because they don't know how. They don't know how dp works, how it affects us, anything. If you don't wanna read the book, then just don't, but don't knock the ones that are exited that psychiatry is actually getting somewhere with this illness. Remember that it wasn't long ago that Depression and Anxiety were basically unknown and misunderstood. Now everyone is familiar with depression and and anxiety and there is help for it.

I'm sorry Soulbrother but your comments are beyond rude,
What in God's name ARE you doing on this site then. For what purpose.

"You don't think people should...." YOU?

I know I should do as Terri says, take a breath and not post. But it is completely beyond my comprehension then if you are on this Board and don't even think you have DP.

Don't torture others here who do with insults, rudeness, inanity.

If you have a gripe, go somewhere else. This is a support board.

This will probably turn into another shouting match, and hopefully someone will delete it.

Why are you here? Why do you post here if you don't want help, and don't care to share information, coping skills, whatever.

I'm sorry, but this is infuriating. You don't deserve the luxury of the hard work put into this board, originally by Andy, and then by James and Sarah.

THAT is abundantly clear and has been since you first came here.
Bro, this is one of my occasional explosions of anger at some people here, but you don't care about anyone but yourself. You never have and probably never will.

Someone go ahead and delete this. I am truly in a foul mood.

wrong, I care about alot of people

actually I have been known to be " too nice" to people at times, thus why I have had " friends" do shady & fucked up things, but thats besides the point.

if YOU can't relate to ME, fuck it, thats not my fault at all

As many here already know, I am also one of those people that think its pretty ridiculous to research dp/dr. Buying a book that discusses it sounds like a waste of money and a good way to stay focused on your "problems". I dont say it to cause problems. Its just what I believe.

The majority of doctors Ive talked to dont even want to bother discussing depersonalization. They simply throw it on the anxiety symptom pile. They dont feel its any more relevant than any other anxiety symptom. I agree.

Ive been told by all my doctors that focusing on this symptom will only cause a snowball effect. Heightened anxiety because of the dp/dr will only cause worse dp/dr and so on and so on. I also agree. Would you buy a book on heart palpitations or tight muscles?

Jason Far, If you read this, I just want to say that I feel your last post was well written.

DakotaJoe, what I said to SoulB also goes for you:

SoulB, maybe you can learn something new by reading it and maybe that will do something for your DP. I bet there are areas in your life you havent really looked at (closely enough) where you have many issues.

The only thing you do is BLAME and RAGE.
I never see anything constructive in your posts.
Instead you having the DP symtoms as an obsession (as many others have here) you have the Psychiatrists and the Benzo's as your main obsession.
Thats the only difference.

I agree with Dakota Joe

the thing is, many of you just sit around and obsess soley on DP/DR and don't really try to do other things.

I did this at the beginning, but quickly learned that it wouldn't help, so I HAVE GONE OUT AND LIVED LIFE so to speak, and yet I still feel miserable. Why?? I have no fuckin idea, thats what im trying to figure out.

the Soul Bro is Soul Searching

i won't allow myself to become a weak individual who lives off fuckin disability and complains all day, but when you go to schoo, work, do music, hang out with friends, and still feel miserable and not too much better, THAN YOU HAVE A REASON TO COMPLAIN.

if i locked myself in my room and felt worse, I would understand

but I don't do that and don't understand

I don't understand either....its about what I wrote in my last post in response to Janine. I am doing everything I can to help myself feel better. I work, I workout, I eat well, I'm working on staying away from the alcohol, I try to think positiive, I try to go out and do things, yet it only gets worse. Why?

i think reading about dp/dr helps us all to realize what the hell we are going through to understand it more.......there cant be anything wrong with that.......and the people close to us can read about it and have some understanding of how we feel......people are aloud different opinions.... we all have different ways of trying to cope with these symptoms....just cause some people dont agree that it can help.....what do you do when you come here...cause ME personally read what othersd are going through...not so i can say i feel the same but its comforting that people have similar symptoms and some have recovered 100%.

not aiming this at anyone........just stating my own opinion :?

Je pense que les meilleur mots en ce fil viennent de Cynthia, and English isn't even her native language. Plusieurs de vous acte comme des debiles.

Wendy,

Think whatever you like. Your certainly entitled to your opinion. The truth is tho, Im not obsessed with anything. Believe it or not but Im not full of much rage these days either. Im feeling pretty damn good. Im real close to closing this awful chapter in my life. Who are you going to follow around and bitch at when Im gone? LOL

Joe

One more thing Wendy. Youve had 3-4 posts directed towards me in the last couple of months. All of them were vulgar and negative. I cant say anything youve written is very constructive either. Also it seems to me that you are the one with the rage issues these days? You might want to think about that.

I think Joe Im just one of few here who dares to say openly youre an asshole. Be thankfull at least someone lets you know. This knowledge may be of use in your DP-free future.
I'll be glad when you move away from this board.
It will save me and others a lot of unnecessary pain.

dakotajo

· #37 · Jan 6, 2005

Well Wendy,

I guess as long as you are being so honest, I will be too. I also think you are an asshole and youre also the biggest witch Ive ever seen in any forum on the internet. I dont say this just to be mean. I really mean it.

If Joe is feeling better, I give him credit for that & eventually departing from this website.

remember guys, in the real world not everyone is so " nice" and " respectful" and you have to deal with bullshit and disrespect all of the time.

Now this is a good example of how problems start. I gave my opinion about the book. I have ever right to. I didnt mean to offend. Its just how I feel. There are other members here that agree that it seems a little ridiculous. Wendy singles me out and finds fault with me. She then calls me an asshole. I call her one back. Cynthia blames this on me????? Cynthia, why dont you tell Wendy to stop calling names being she is the one who instigated it?
