have you had this dp/dr before? if so how many times and what happened etc.
ive had this once before, about 10 years ago. it really seemed to spring up out of nowhere, everything was fine, then one day i got sick, nothing major, but my head never seemed to be same again. i went and saw doctors but they had no idea what the problem was and although it was a very painfull and scary time, within a year id got better, except for the odd funny spell that lasted maybe a minute at most, and was more like a perceptual type shift, as if i was slowly coming back to normal.
i think i got over it much quicker last time because i was young and bassically had no idea what was wrong, and no doctors seemed to know and i think i just forced myself into getting better, where as this time around, i wanted to know what was wrong and how to treat it and got too involved and obsessive about it.
for me now im just gonna try to get back on with life, like i did when i was younger, just grin and bear the dp and hope for the best.
i do think that dp is caused by chemical problem in the brain, but no one knows what chemicals, or what problem and simply fixing it doesnt happen. id say that obssessing over it simply keeps the beast alive and keeps the chemical problem going.
im taking anti-d's with the hope that they will fix the problem (my doctors seem to think it will) but more so with the hope that they will treat the anxiety and depression that comes with disorder.
so yeah, is this your first time with dp? if not, what happened in the past? how did you overcome it and so on.
cheers
