Listened to this ! I tried to call in but was to busy to get through. It actually made me cry listening to somebody talking about it on radio 2 and somebody else's voice explaing what it's like !!
However I wish she said something about the spaced out drunk feeling you also get with it. Maybe some people don't get that aspect of DP but it is my most potant one . The numb feeling to your surroundings like your drunk.
Oh well , fantastic that DP is now being talked about as it's own disorder and not "it's depression" !
She was given 30 mins on national radio to discuss a lifetime of suffering....Not easy at all....Im sure she would have really wanted to sit there for many hours and talk to other sufferers.....Her and the others who have made the films etc are doing terrific stuff as regards awareness...It has been long overdue...Lets face it, how many of us would actually have been bothered to go on tv and radio to discuss this condition let alone pluck up the guts to do it....
Of course tv, radio and the media will always be restrictive as regards the bigger picture when it comes to issues like this...
Im sure Jeremy Vine whilst sitting there being compassionate and understanding etc was still counting his 50s in the background....
We have a similar radio host here in Ireland who does the same thing....Talks the talk but doesnt walk the walk...
The media like politicians dont neccesarily lie....They just avoid the truth.......
I better be quiet now cos I am ranting.......
Well done Sarah!!!!!
