2 and a half weeks ago I got sick and ever since I have suffered from constant DP, which I self diagnose as a chemical imbalance due to being sick. I was wondering if the brain has a way to naturally balance out the chemicals to normal. If so, are there any activities that can help speed up the process? I just want ot get back to my regular life.
dp naturally curable?

·Dp is naturally cureable. ALL dissociative disorders are. Chemical inballance from you being sick is not the cause, your brain would reballance out anything that could have been inballanced because of the disease, since you arent sick anymore.
Panic attack about being sick and feeling like your gunna die would definately start DP. Think back to being sick, remember all the details about your mindstate and the thoughts you had while you were sick.

·i know personally it is, as i was suffereing with it for almost a year not knowing what it was.
As soon as i figured out i had DID and DP/DR i did all the reseach i could to have as complete an understanding possible, and in the past week ive made 90% of my recovery. (of course i can relapse, and have had a few times where i had DP for about an hour at about 50%, but i know how to control it now.)
Meds will only make you feel better in the short run, recovery in the long run is on you and your mind to figure out
Oh yea, i havent taken any medication for anything in my life except like advil and for my asthma, i dont believe in psycho drugs except for like schizos and people with actual organic-disorders

ok thank you for your replies.
I have figured out what has happened to me, this might change the whole situation I'm not sure.
I got sick because I made a pie, ate it, and the next day I was sick. I figured I got food poisioning from the pie, maybe from old ingredients.
Then I looked back at the recipe, and discovered that I had put in way too much nutmeg. I did some research on nutmeg, and discovered that it is a phsychoactive food that can cause nausa, vomiting, and hallucinations.This may alter brain chemistry in some way (I recall the terms dopamine and serotonin).
So that is why I have felt dizzy and recently discovered that I was also suffering from depersonalization. I was also very paranoid about my state of mind, as school just started and I can't seem to concentrate or retain information.
So now I need to know if the nutmeg has had a permanant affect on my brain, or if the chemicals will naturally balance out and the condition will go away. I currently suffer from acute depersonalization 24 hours a day, with intense periods begining mid afternoon.

I'm no doctor but I think that one bad dose of nutmeg should not screw you up that bad.
Then again, some folks on here smoked weed once and never were the same again. Might be proof that one bad incedent of chemistry altering of the brain can be serious...damn....

dont smoke anymore man! Have you been to the doc yet?
I said I have, but never on a regular basis. Maybe around 5 or 6 times.
I havn't been to the doctor yet, although I should maybe think about it. But every day seems to show improvment, so I don't feel the need. The improvment is slow, but still present.
Is there any way to speed up recovery naturally (no meds)? What will exercise do, I heard that it can alter certain chemicals to make you happy, so could this work to my advantage?
I would also like to note that since finding this page, my recovery has been given a jump start. Knowing that there are other people like this really helps me get through this. This may also signify a combination of factors that contribute to my dp (the nutmeg and my anxiety towards it).

Exercise is the best thing man. Are you a little over-weight? Losing weight will help with confidence and that will help you feel better all the way around.
If youre not exersice is still one of the best things! Start of slow and every week put on the fire a little more! Dude exersice is great!
