Hiya everyone...I'm new to the site so I thought I'd say hi. I've been feeling depersonalized for nearly a year and I'm struggling to come to terms with it. I'm seeing 3 doctors - one of which is a consultant pyschiatrist and the other is a consultant pyschologist, and neither seem to be able to offer me any answers. I feel so confused. How do I know that I'm suffering from dp? Ive done a lot of reading about it and it's like I'm reading about myself. Any thoughts or comments would be great...nice to meet you all...cerries xxx

·Hi, just thought I'd say hello to another UK'er.
How long have you been seeing your 'psychs' for?

Wow, a psychiatrist and a psychologist who don't seem to know anything about DP! I'm sure that everyone on the board will be just as shocked to hear that as I am (i.e. not at all). There's a lot of really useful info in these posts; you may have to go into your next appointment and tell Dr. Whatever and say that you read about a successful treatment and that that's what you want.
Isn't DP the worst? For years I thought I had something no one else had, that it was a totally unknown thing. I found it a huge relief that it was actually recognized and that I wasn't the only person in the world who had it. It isn't easy to treat, but it isn't impossible, and treatments should get better over the next several years.
Do you have it constantly or is it intermittent? What has Dr. No-answers tried as far as helping you?
Stoke on Trent - OK, what is it with the UK? Per capita y'all seem to have the highest incidence of DP, crop circles, and stories that end up in the World Weekly News. It's also my favorite country to visit, so I'm not "taking the piss out of you" (I learned that expression a few weeks ago).

·I think it's more to do with upholding our quiant oldey worldey image - crop circles don't make the news here!Tom Servo said:
Here's one of my favorite examples of that: http://www.thechap.net I love their Manifesto section. I actually tried to go to the shop run by the guy who does the Sartorial Agony column, but it was closed that day.mrmole said:

Hiya guys thanks for replying...I've been seeing my pyschiatrist for about 3 months (i think!) and my pyschlogist for two. My pysch has mentioned dp from the start but as a symptom of depression and anxiety, rather than an illness in its own right. only thing is im convinced that i dont have anxiety...even my fiance and close family members and friends know that im not particularly anxious. if i am feeling anxious or depressed, its usually because i feel so 'out of it' and foggy. It takes quite a while for me to understand things and my hands and legs often don't feel like they're my own. i can't process information like i used to, and i forget things so easily. sometimes i think im just going mad, or im subconciously making it all up, but surely if i feel it then its real? or dont feel it is more the case. i find it extremely difficult to find any emotion for anything and i just dont understand the world anymore - it often seems alien to me. does this make sense to anyone else or am i going mad? thanks for replying xxx
