Hi all... My name's Sarah and, altho Im only 19, im sort of a longtime sufferer of dp/dr... I've had it since I was 14... It went away for 2 years or so, but it's back now. The last time I had it I was going thru my exams, and it was horrific, but I didn't let it beat me and I got some of the highest marks in my school, this is the fact that I cling to - Although it's difficult, I know I can beat this thing!!!
Thank goodness for all of you!!
I hate it... I walk into a room and it takes my brain a couple of seconds to catch up... I look at something a few inches from my face, and its seems miles away... The blurred vision or the "in your face" feeling, as if everything is too close and there's too much noise and light and you can't take it all in at once... And the feeling that your body is alien to you...
The last time I went on holiday with my fiance, it was gorgeous, my dp/dr had subsided and we had a great time... Now its back, and we're going on holiday again in a couple of weeks... I so long for it to have gone again... It saddens me so very much!
But at least I'm not as alone as I feel... I don't know what I'd do without him, I sometimes feel like he's so very much of a crutch, and If I took him away i'd go completely insane!!!!!! He understands and talks me through bad attacks, tells me to repeat "I'm here, I'm real!" again and again... ANd it works, especially if I listen to his heart beat and he holds me...
You're all amazing, the lives you lead through all this crap! Such inspirations!
Does anyone else ever get the feeling of doom... As though, if you closed your eyes for too long, or went too deep into your own thoughts, you'll never wake up, or you'll lose your vision...
I never had that before this "spell"... It dominates my thoughts...
Thanks for your existence!!
