yes i understand what u sayin. i believe that dp is a defense mechanism, though ive dealt with more than just a bad day and a bad situation--- its more like im always and constantly on the verge of breaking down-- thats dp for me--- a different mind set to compromise and defend the "self" from unwanted and unbearable thoughts and feelings .
DP as a defense mechanism?
Ok...I wanted to ask this question. How many people think that their DP is used as a defense mechanism for when anxiety/depression/uncomfortable situations come about? For example, I got really detached from like 5:30pm-9pm tonight. I think the reason why is because I had a softball game at 6pm. I was tired from work, then the weather started getting pretty chilly and windy and I just didn't want to be playing softball. So in essence I was in a situation I didn't want to be in. So my mind kinna detaches from the situation. But though my mind thinks it is the correct defense mechanism, it really makes me alot more uncomfortable. Can anyone relate to what I am saying and the reference I am making?
DP is used as a defense mechanism, but it is a bitch of a way of hiding from our problems!
As always comments are always appreciated. Thanks and take care.
