Hello everyone,
Im new to this forum and it is my first post.
I have been suffering from Dp/dr already 2 years..I remember the day like it was yesterday.And since I feel like im not normal..
I tried telling my bf, my friends, family and I feel like they dont quite understand this situation.
I guess like everybody else, I started to look for answers online because I wasnt sure what was wrong with me, I couldnt understand what is happening and why. Also I wanted to see if its common, do other ppl have the same problem as me, etc I thought I was going crazy , that I was losing control of my thoughts and going to die at some point. It was really scarry.
I realized there many people like me, so I started to have a bit of hope...I have read many stories about ppl getting through this, some others still suffering but Im certain we can beat this dpdr together

It’s absolutely normal. Not sure how you started with this but dp is anxiety driven. It’s hard to believe that but it is. Anxiety for some shows itself as DP/DR. The most disturbing symptom there is in my opinion and a lot of others would agree. It definitely makes you feel like you are losing your mind. It makes you feel you are the only one. That yours is different. It’s all anxiety. Stress=anxiety=dp=depression=stress=continuation. You have to nip it at the bud. I have recovered from dp twice and currently nearly recovered for the third time. You have to take the steps to get better.

Hi Lolla and welcome to the forum

I remember feeling so relieved when i first realized that there are actual people who feel the same way i do. It takes away a lot of stress, doesn't it?

I hope you have started working on your recovery with even more conviction now that you know DPDR is quite curable/manageable in most cases,
