I just don't understand why I continue to fall further into unreality and dissociation. Why do I wake up worse and worse as the weeks go by?

I've had DP for 5 years now but in the last 3 months its gotten unbearable. Continuing to escalade. I cannot even hear my voice when I speak anymore. Its just worse and worse and worse. How much worse can I get?

have you gone to a psychiatrist? it sounds like you should start thinking about something at least for the anxiety.

are you on any over-the-counter medication? or prescription meds?

I'm on luvox. anti depressant. only med i've ever taken. i don't really have hope with taking meds because 95% of the people on here have taken tons and it does nothing. I truly believe meds wont help DP.

you have to be in the right state of mind to get past dp/dr

Johnny_Utah, do you get too tired to write more than one sentence, or are you afraid you're going to fall off the end of the world ? :wink:

Chris - you're not getting worse. There is a finite level of torture that DR/DP itself can inflict. What I think is happening is that because you've had this problem for so long, your despair, depression, anxiety, tiredness and the like are compunding the problem. Remember, DR/DP is a symptom of something else. If you can get a grip on the 'else', then your DR/DP will start to fade, I promise. You must take positive action, now, before you get stuck in a rut, it's absolutely vital. DR/DP is something that feeds on anxiety and depression, so worrying about your worrying (!) will only increase your anguish.
