I've suffered from Derealization for many years now, (a bit of depersonalisation and depression too), and i'm thinking of getting a tattoo which represents what i've had to suffer. I've had this disorder for the majority of my life, and i would like some sort of symbol to represent this.

Any artists here have any ideas?

Or.. or you could not do that so once you recover you won't have any reminders?

i knew somebody would say that.

it doesnt matter wether i have reminders or not..

I feel my derealization is so severe, i can never 'forget' i have it.

You may not ever forget it, but one day you will laugh at it.

I was actually thinking about getting a tattoo that said HOPE. I know a lot of people get that but personally I would never get a tattoo that says DP. This is really something I want to forget about. I think HOPE in my mind makes more sense because that's what you will be reminded of the most through this whole process.

I got "Keine angst" meaning "Don't be scared" in German, as a reminder to myself during my darkest moments. But then I realized a more accurate tattoo might've been "Keine angst vor der angst" meaning, "Don't be afraid to be afraid" so I might end up adding to it. Try dabbling in quotes and not just images perhaps? *shrug* I'd love to see what you end up getting.

Maybe you get one after you recover on the theme of overcoming adversity.

I saw this from Terry, on instagram. I think it's a wonderful tattoo idea.
