I feel pretty relaxed, "with it", have emotions, and stuff like that most of the time, but I feel sort of like after having DR, I can't quite remember what normal feels like. I think this might be "normal" but I can't really remember. Does anyone else have anything like this or any ideas about getting rid of this?

What is different from "normal"? Right now, that is. What do you feel is different than you used to feel?

Try anti-depressants, worked for me.

That's the thing. I can't really remember how I used to feel. :?

i get short moments when i can remember exactly how i used to feel and how i used to react and think about things...and it makes my dp and dr go mad...

i realise how different i feel and how disconnected i feel...

not nice...

i keep saying to myself...what is different? what is actually different from when i was non dp and dr to now? but i cannot really tell the difference...all i know is that i do not feel 'right' or 'normal'...

Indeed. For example, yesterday I felt relatively OK. Went to the park, watched some bands, made dinner and watched a DVD. Today I can barely function. I feel like I have no strength, that I don't know what I'm doing or supposed to do or what I want to do. I am unsteady on my feet.

And yet I did nothing appreciably different to yesterday, thinking-wise. This rapid transition happens so often to me I just accept it these days. Evidence has shown me there's nothing I can do about it, except feel crap and not waste the day trying to work out why this happens.
