Hi there,
Well... I think you "stumbled" into the right place. With your posting, it seems to me that you fit the description of DP/DR. It's a strange place that if nothing else makes you question everything in your world...up to and including whether or not you are really alive! I know I still stuggle with this at times. I have done my best to "make peace" with this disorder and most times I can do pretty well. However, there are still times when It has me beat. My best advice to you is...never give up, never give in, and when things seem like they are at thier worst, you could be right. BUT, that doesn't mean you can't find ways to fight this beast. There are many who have recovered for either a while or completely. So there is always hope! Just know you aren't alone, and that "YOU ARE NOT CRAZY"! One thing that helps is try to keep yourself "grounded". You can do this when things get out of control by stopping whatever it is you are doing, and start by reaffirming the basics...like...tell yourself...you really are WHO you think you are...that you really are WHERE you think you are...it really is the TIME and DAY you think it is...and so forth. Try breathing slowly while you do this, and in a few minutes you should be able to continue doing the task at hand.
WOW... sorry, I didn't mean to go on so long. Anyway, good luck and know that there are some (not all) genuine people here who want to help.

I wish you well,

Tony

i dont no whther its because of the questions i have the dp, or because of the dp i have the questions.
theyre like an added curse ontop of this lovely sandwich of foggy reality. However, i have realised, that, for me at least, they come in phases. at one point i was completely focuse on lonliness, i felt so ultimately alone, this passed, more naturally then anything else, i still feel lonley, but i dont think about it as much. Instead, my brain moves on to the next question, am i in a truman show like reality? what is the meaning of all this? there are just to many questions in there to write down.
I dont understand why we get them, but on my better days, of which are few, but when the happen i realise that i believe that this is reality and the questions fade into the background.
This is the curse of the dp, it makes you over think, you constatnly question and it overloads into this mass of questions that you simply cannot manage all in one massive go, its a life long journey, and even then you never stop questioning.
good luck my friend, i promise they will lessen with time.
