Hi!

I found these pages today. I am not sure what is wrong with me but I think DP might be the answer. In my country it has not been easy to find doctors how really know what is DP.

I have symptoms mentioned above. I would be very happy if someone would comment and say if these sound familiar.

- I know what is real but it is very hard to accept it and ask form myself that can these things around me really be real. It is a kind of obsession.

- reality feels so amazing that it feels unreal f.g. I can see cars and begun to wonder that how can there be something like cars in the world. The thougt is very strong and pressing as those cars must be a illusion and nevertheless I know they are real. Sounds crazy.

- sometimes I want to close my eyes because everything I see or hear confuse me.

- I wonder if I do exist even when I am sure I do

- I feel like been robot because I am so confused but yet I can do almost anything. I can work almost normally and nobody can easily notice that there is something wrong in side of my mind.

- I also feel like zombie -living dead

- I can discuss about these feeling and thougts and also analyse them quite well.

I am quite scared of loosing my mind and afraid that I am newer gonna be "normal" again.

Err... Those things you describe, they are the same things people with DP/DR describe. I am not sure if I have DP/DR, but I have felt that what I see is not real, reality most of the times is dull and unreal (but sometimes it gets amazing), I am also not sure if I exist (but I don't have too much of this one), I have noticed my hands (and legs and mouth) move without me contrilling them, those things do not effect my judgement but they effect my emotions which effects my judgement.

Can you please analyze them, as I am also trying to explore what I feel now, and what I have felt in the past to know if I have DP/DR.

Hi brainsilence02!

I think yuu too might have DP/DR. I went to doctor and she thought I have it. It should not be dangerous but it is mentally very painful. Last couple days have been almost ok but today I have had quite bad day, so I am now quite tired. I may send you email later on.

Have you visit a doctor? I got cipramil and it seems to help me.

Things get pretty rought when someone has DP/DR. As I said, I am not sure I have but I read what people write in here. What most of them suggest is try not to think about DP/DR itself.. Try to focus outwards. Distract yourself by anything you can: sports, a movie, etc..

I have visited a doctor, but he didn't helped. There is a promishing new doctor I was suggested by a man who described things like me, so I have hopes. I have planned to visit him inside July; that gives me confidence.

You are welcome to send me an e-mail, or a PM. It may take me a while to reply, but I will! Eventually

If there is anything you would like to discuss about your thoughts, please so. Unless of cource you would rather a private conversation. However, here, we are all anonymous (unless you tell you name ).. and besides I am sure that there are other people who might have the same or alike thoughts, it would be nice to get their thoughts too.

Something of a light mood: you live in Finland eh? Finlan has right now around 10-25 celsius, right? Athens has 22-35! Imagine what happens in August!
