I've been slowly recovering from a slight relapse of DP/DR, but I keep having this odd sensation it's very hard to describe, but I'll try my best. Whenever I finally feel connected to myself again, I get the thought in the back of my mind that I'm truly not there. It's like I'm a tiny man in the back of my mind tagging around for the ride. It's kinda like when you're dreaming and you recognize you're dreaming, and attempt to wake yourself up. It's very disturbing and bothersome because I truly feel like I'm at the verge of recovery but that single thought won't go away

Yes, yes, yes! I'm in the same boat right now!! I am pretty sure it's depersonalization. I am slowly but surely coming out of the hell that is DP/DR. I've been using cognitive behavioral therapy to combat existential thoughts, etc...but there's this nagging feeling that waves over me and the best way I can describe it is a total disconnect from myself. Like I'm not me. I can understand what you're saying. Hopefully it goes away for the both of us and we can fully reconnect to ourselves.

Same here. When I think I’m seeing the light I get this weird feeling that I can’t explain and I detach again. So stupid
