I am connecting to my sense of self and have been for the past few days, I still have clammy hands and I constantly have "who am I" going round in my head, I am worried I am becoming obsessed with who I am, (of which there is no answer), but on the other hand, I am wondering if it still the last remaining remnants of the DP. I am starting to feel quite normal, but can't seem to help but torture myself on this "who am I", I know there is a "normal me" that doesn't care about who I am.

Do you still think this is the remnants and last bits of the DP or am I going mad.

Put it this way, if I say to myself "who am I", I get clammy hands and start panicking. When I know in the past if I have asked myself that question, say back in March, I didn't care.

Any help, I seem to panicking and focussing in on myself too much...

Help!

Treat yourself as if you were a three-year-old, and just as you would distract a toddler who's fussing by directing her attention to a picture book, or a toy or another intellectually stimulating focus, do the same thing with yourself.

Mipmunk it sounds like you have a lot of anxiety built up.
You should try relaxation techniques to help calm you down.
Try meditating on the good thing about yourself, or at least the things that remind you who you really are.
Like repeating in your head, I am the son/daughter of --- and am the brother/sister of ---, I am -- years old , I am a good person, I care for others.
Whatever helps.
You know who you are, you are just disconnected somewhat.
Focus on getting ride of the anxiety and the dp will probably go away a little.

P.S. Sojourner is that why you sound like a three year old toddler sometimes?

Sorry I just thought Martin would get a kick out of that one :lol: .
