Does this sound like recovery?, for those who have recovered?

Hello!

As i believe that I'm now 60-70% recovered, i still have hit some rough spots. my Dp/dr manifested from (what i believe) a long period of severe anxiety and stress. It was constant for about 2 weeks after 3 weeks of constant panic and anxiety. But I'm still worried that these symptoms will not go away.

My questioning reality has improved significantly, if not disappeared.

My vision is now 20/20. Not foggy or muddy. looking at old pictures doesn't bother me like it used to.

My sense of self has returned, for the most part.

All DP/DR symptoms are gone.

Except for a lot of existential stuff, and feeling like my memories aren't entirely my memories. Feeling like this life isn't mine sometimes. Sometimes i question lots of things. like "why does time move forward?" and lots of other things. I still have difficulty feeling normal sometimes. like i havent fully gotten used to not being constantly in a state of panic or DP/DR.

For those who have recovered, do you think these things will disappear in time?

I just feel like I've somehow opened up this box of information that ill never forget or stop thinking about. Like I've discovered a part of me that i don't want, yet won't go away.

I know this is a gradual process. and i guess i just want some reassurance that this will all disappear and ill be able to live life fully again without worrying whether ill be stuck with these awful thoughts and constant checking in.

I still have a hard time leaving my house and interacting in public. I feel like my symptoms return , or are greater in public. My anxiety worsens.
