There are quite a few articles including research papers on google regarding DPDR and it's similarities (or dissimilarities) with what we call "enlightenment" . People who mostly suffer from it, see it as an evil twin of enlightenment. Most DPDR sufferers that i know do NOT consider it "enlightenment" because it makes you suffer so much. That suffering in some cases never stops and some people never get out of that gaping abyss of DPDR.
However, there are a few DPDR sufferers like myself, who once "recovered", felt like it indeed has "enlightened" us in so many ways. Because our views on life in general become completely transformed. The hustle and bustle of life becomes just a game to enjoy and not some kind of death race that we MUST win. You participate in all games knowing fully well that it is a game. I realize that many DPDR sufferer also have existential dreading. And that stops them from enjoying or even attempting any thing in life. I do not wish DPDR upon my worst enemy but i simply need to state the fact that it has given me the most valuable insight into myself and made me a lot better human than i was before that.
