Over the past decade i've had horrid DP, and lessening symptoms, it's never been fully gone, but you learn after a while to live and to say for lack of a better term, screw this disorder. It's either fight against it or let it win. Trust me though, you get out and take small steps, it will be like it's not even there for you after a while. Keeping busy is the best thing you can do for yourself!
For people who have had this for decades, can you give us tips to cope?

Iv Been too-ing and Fro-ing from this forum for about 6 Years now. When times are bad, life slows to a halt and the sensations get so intense I ponder the exact same question you ask. On the other hand when times are good they are great and fill you with life, love and joy but sadly it's almost impossible to have a realistic perspective on how your recovery. All I know is rather selfishly the time when I am able to support my recovery without this forum I distance myself and fully embrace a DPD free life.
It seems that huge number of people who are on this website have been dealing with this disorder for many years. What did you do to cope? Not what did you do to cope but more what are you doing to cope in my case
It gets better and worse then it gets better again. As you move through life you will have different challenges and struggles and your perspective will change.
How did you make it so far? and sorry for being rude but what abstained you from committing suicide? Well the way I look at it is if someone made my DPD disappear 99% tomorrow would i still want to end my life. The answer is clearly no, so you can be reminded that the fight is worth it. I'm married with 2 little children - that helps
Because although I am still in my first year with this disorder, I am already feeling very down and life doesn't seem as bright and promising as it used to look for me before. You can do this... 6 Months ago i was leading a massively successful life. Yes things are really bleak right now but that's my own fault and i know in 6 months things will change again. Don't loose faith, many many have been where you are and gone on to living happy lives
