How common would you say it is for dpdr to last for years

Instead of focusing on DPSH statistics, it might be more beneficial to focus on yourself and what you can do with the resources you have available to you. The recovery section contains several suggestions for things you can try to do to help get you out of this state. Some people swear by them, but nothing is a panacea.

Alternatively, you can try to find some way to just exist as comfortably as you can with it. As a long time sufferer, I can only speak from my experience that my ability to cope waxes and wanes. Sometimes I can find a certain niche existence that is quite livable, and even rather enjoyable in its own twisted way. Other times I’m just a mess.

What I’m trying to say is, there are options available to you, and everyone’s experience is different. DPSH stats will not determine how long you will be dealing with this, or how you will feel about it in the future.

dont get me wrong i know you guys know that it is possible to recover but i smell from your sentences some resistance to say „it is possible“ or „usually you should recover“. do you maybe deep in inner not believe that you will get rid of this?

Of course I think it is possible to recover, and I can say that without hesitation. But I do have reservations with saying “you will recover if you just perform this one weird trick.” But whether or not someone does recover depends on so many factors, some of which might be outside our control. All we can do is try to act in ways that maximize our chances, or simply try to live the best life possible with it.
