On the same note, has anybody heard of any other reasons for getting dp? When I was 11 I went to my first disco and there was strobe lighting. I wasn't panicking or anxious at all, but I hadn't long been in the disco when all of a sudden, everything changed. Extreme sensation, like never experienced before and since, different to dp and dr somehow, like losing your memory and coming in and out of consciousness, loss of balance, couldnt talk properly and could not stay 'with it'. Though didnt appear that bad to other people. However, I totally felt it was a phyiscal episode because I had not felt that my emotions were anyway affected, I was scared but totally thought it was a form of epilepsy so kind of rode it out. I often wonder if any one spiked my drink. Strobe lighting always affects me. I had no trauma before that, although I can remember having a panic attack at 7, thinking about thinking (sound familiar?). I feel like that first episode caused my panic attacks and resulting 'disorder'. But what the h caused that first one?
Head Trauma
G
Hey whats goin on everyone? Hope everyone is doing ok, ive been kind of busy lately and haven't really been posting or comming to the website, but well since its Sunday i figured id make a few posts.
Anyways, i just read SC'S story & i know that he was in a severe car accident and probably suffered head trauma, which lead me to thinking about an event that took place when i was maybe 5.
I was at this babysitters house sitting on the railing of her steps, eating a popsicle i believe, and without me realizing right away, the railing was loose. Well i leaned back a little and all of a sudden i fell over and hit my head on the concrete. The amazing thing was i didn't crack my head open or anything.But im almost positive that i blacked out. My next memory was me talking on the phone with my mom & eating candy. I remember having a bump on my head and having a little headache. Now obviously this doesn't seem like any major head trauma. But my question is
Is it possible in anyway that this event could be a hidden factor in DP/DR, etc? I mean it doesn't seem too logical since it happened 14 years ago ( wow i feel old when i say that). But i was just wondering if maybe something happened to my brain when it happened and suddely last year it possibly caused what i am experiencing now?? I dunno, its just something im wondering about. I mean its not like its the only thing that has happened that could have caused all of this, but it may be a small possibility???
Peace
