Sorry about your experienc, Abe, but that's pretty much all that you get. Early in my illness I had hope that some doctor somewhere could help me, tell me what I'm dealing with, or make suggestions about what I can do. And they just treat you like crap. Reluctantly giving tests, and pushing you out of the office. It may be a factor of national or other insurance though. The only doctors that ever paid me much attention was the ones I paid for myself. If you have the money, it may be worth taking that route (I'm sure there are some private practitioners still in Sri Lanka, right?)
Dear Forestx5, Thank you.
Dear Forestx5,
I have depersonalization since 2005. I am 29 now.
I joined this website about a month or so and one of the first posts I read was by you.
(https://www.dpselfhelp.com/forum/index.php?/topic/90520-my-intro/#entry587556)
There you had mentioned about Focal Aware Epilepsy. I didn't understand what it was.
However I read a little about it here and there after that.
Then last week I came across your below post.
(https://www.dpselfhelp.com/forum/index.php?/topic/90908-been-in-a-chronic-state-of-dpdr-for-over-12-yearsfeeling-close-to-giving-up/?view=findpost&p=589490)
Next day morning while I was getting ready for work I had a breakthrough. Suddenly it occurred to me that the problems I've been dealing with could be explained as brain seizures. I used to think I have Aspergers, Bipolar and OCD. And some physical conditions such as Gastritis and IBS.
I went to see a neurologist this week and I did a EEG. I haven't got the results yet. I don't know if this EEG will be enough to get a diagnosis because I don't think I had any seizure activity while doing the EEG.
My this post is a Thank You for your compassion towards other people. Even though I haven't got a diagnosis yet I know for a fact you've changed my life for the better.
I read many posts by you in the last few days and I came to know a little about yourself and your journey.
I would like you to know that I hope to always remember you with a feeling of loving-kindness.
Sincerely,
Abe89
