You can probably add the benefits of becoming a more humble and compassionate person.

I am certain that dp has given me the opportunity to think deeply about things. Although lately my dp makes me feel too foggy to concentrate well, there have been long periods of time where I was able to think amazingly well. I read one guy's account of his dp and he said that his thinking took on a whole new dimension. That's what happened to me. I was always a deep, critical thinker (darn it!) but became much more so. I have become much more compassionate. I can see many points of view and tend to appreciate many more kinds of people. I see the folly in the world (lots of other dpers here do too, from what I've read) and I think dp might have increased my intelligence. There seems to be a high level of intelligence on this site, from ALL kinds of people judging from their insights. I read somewhere that dp tends to afflict intelligent people. Anyway I like to believe that because I haven't got a lot of things to feel happy about.
The down side is that I would prefer to take things more lightly. That's when I have the most fun. (Fun?)
I agree with nemesis about humbleness and compassion.

Because I didn't know there were other people with this I'd come to accept over the years, through lack of any support, that I was going to be like this for ever. So, when it's not so bad and making me feel like I'm going nuts, I've kind of thought of it is constantly meditating.

I would say on my normal days (today was one of them) life is incredible. Reality is put back together, things are making sense to me, and I'm plugged into life. Whenever this thing goes away, I know that I will have been prepared to do something amazing. It has taught me a humility that I never thought I would comprehend. When you fall down on the bathroom floor at work crying your eyes out because you can't "feel" or comprehend anything and you're a grown man who everybody thinks is normal, it is humbling. It has put me in a better position to receive good things from God. I'm kind of dating a girl now and instead of looking for the next one, I'm focusing on her and realizing how cool it would be to be married and stuff. I would say that this is a living hell when you're going through it, but I really think that you have to train your mind. If you think about it, none of the unreal stuff is real. Get it? It's not real. Live like that and you'll beat it. I would say becoming a Christian and knowing the real God, not some made up God who makes everybody feel good and warm inside, has helped. Jesus Christ suffered immensely in this life but He was promised something on the other side by God. Hebrews 12 says that God scourges everyone he accepts as a son and He disciplines those He loves. Endure hardship as discipline. later
