Ok, i found this website by accident a few weeks ago, partly because i came across the term D.D by accident on wikipedia, when i started reading about it i noticed how similar it was to the things i have felt all my life

i remember feeling alive before a certain age, i think it was before age 11. all the years before age 11 were filled with life, my perception was enhanced, or i guess it was normal

but then, after that age, i started feeling different, i felt as i was inside of a dream, all of the time, reality felt unreal, the weirdest thing were the hyper real dreams which i had from time to time, dreams in which i actually felt more alive than in the real world, that's when i knew something was wrong with me

so i started seeing doctors, but none of them figured it out, they gave me different pills, i have been on different types of pills for years but i stopped taking them because they didn't remove the symptom of feeling like 'in a dream' all the time

i eventually gave up and realized that maybe life was supposed to be this way, the thing is that this problem has basically rendered me unable to do anything, i was never able to complete anything significant in my life, i never completed college, or any proyect, i was never constant, i never achieved anything, because i lost motivation too fast, i was always disconnected with my mind, with my proyects, the doctors told me i had something called absences, which is some kind of brain reset, and that it was the reason i suddenly lost touch and interest with the things i started, another thing that has been messing my life and draining my time are screens and computers, video games and such, it is as if i get close to one of those thing i just get plugged, time goes by without even noticing it, days fly by and i get to be stuck in this vicious circle of no progress, life was pointless because no matter how much mental or physical effort i put in it, i wasn't really going to acomplish anything

i'm open to suggestions, if you know of any special meds to remove this symptom of feeling like in a dream all the time i would apreaciate you telling me, i am now out of options so i guess special meds would be my last resort

Thanks for reading.

Welcome to the club ..i guess

all the things u are asking about u will inevitably find exploring this site and others, most people see new people and don't really bother answering the same questions the same broken record because it is there just look for it. ...different things have helped different people..this site is as helpful as a forum with dp'ed people will get ..all of us tried many things, my next shot/stop...bob proctor haha and I have been working with somatic experiencing as well...they go well together..

Anyway, I wish you luck..i will say this..in my timeand reading of recovery stories it is about letting go...not furthering a need for a semse of control by trying to understand and try everything..a further cycle of stress..they say just feel...just forget it....just be engaged in life...just experience your body..basically fragmentation of the intellectual aspect of the mind and our actual self..I have realized that I exert so much effort to control every thing about myself and there is so much tension in my body it hurts..but im working on it...some moments in the midst of sleep/wake i feel im back...and some moments different...its a long ride.

Here are blogs to start u off/stuff i like:
