I was wondering if the majority of you have "DP episodes" or it is chronic 24/7?

When the DP/DR was bad for me was 24/7, but varied in severity.

2 catastophic DP episodes 1.5 hrs in length, 3 years apart. Plenty of anxiety panic, on the border of DP in between. But the real deal only twice thank god. That's enough for me thank you very much.

Personally cannot comprehend 24/7 DP. I mean, I obsessed about it constantly, felt "special" and alien, like my mind now worked fundamentally differently, and tried to communicate to others about this on a nearly everyday basis. Tried to UNDERSTAND it, and try to get others to understand it obsessively. But the experience itself... I wouldn't be able to type on a keyboard while DP'd as I experienced it. I'd be too busy howling, shaking and clutching the carpet.

It is always there for me, but the instensity shifts from really bad to tolerable.

My DP is 24/7 but gets more severe at different moments at times producing full blown panic attacks.

Like rainbo and peacedove, mine is 24/7 also, and it also varies in intensity.

I'd say mine's 24/7
It fades in and out, but it's always there beneath the surface. Once in a while I'll have a whole day that feels like the episode you described, but those are few and far between, thank God.

I usually just have episodes, it used to be constant though.

When I had my DP, it was episodic. Worse right in the morning, and then right before bed.

When it started (DR), it was episodic, but now it's become chronic, varying from tolerable to bad...
