Hi everyone,
I only just came across this forum yesterday and I thought it would be a good idea to share my experience with you all.
About 10 years ago when I was 14, I was at my friends place playing a board game when suddenly without doing anything, my vision went all starry, like when you stand up too quickly, and as it came back I realised my perspective of the world wasn't the same and I started freaking out.
The first 3 months was living hell as I had no idea what was going on with me, no doctor could figure it out and I got every blood test and psych therapy under the sun.
The rest of the year was just learning to deal with it.
After about 2 years I never really noticed it unless I thought about it, I just learned to accept that this was who I am now.
10 years later, It more or less doesn't concern me very much at all now, I live a normal healthy happy life, although my mood is always flat, and I generally never get enthusiastic about anything.
I don't recall ever having a traumatic experience as a child to trigger the DP, it just sort of randomly came along.
I guess one thing I can think of was accidentally killing my pet mouse which greatly upset me.
Perhaps my persistent porn addiction ever since I was 13 to now was a contributing factor.
Anyway, I hope to read more of your stories.
