How incapacitating can DPRD be for you?

Thanks for the replies.
Since DPD impairs different aspects of experience, I suppose the various effects also depends on how those aspects interact for a person, rather than it not being DPD. I've had to do the 'fake it to make it' thing, pragmatic and I used to get a lot more done, so I've not always been as limited as I am for now. I ration the awareness I find, to get tasks done, but some days I find it kinder and better in the long run to not fight DPD and 'opt out', rest. I do find, in my DPD, that thoughts get negatively disruptive, as I try to analyse the derealised world. So that does exhaust and can reduce functioning for me too. Thank-you for the feedback about this topic.

Sorry for my slow reply, I've had DPRD 'bed days' this week and am getting better at accepting them rather than fighting DP/DR all the time. It is necessary and right to stop sometimes. In the past, I went to a private care place for respite, which was brilliant, and that got me on a better path.

Yes, resting from social interaction (in DPRD) is also something I need. I do have to find a line between needed isolation and that, as you say, becoming a problem. Keeping the basics going, even at a very slow pace, is important. Good wishes to all.

I agree with you and that study is surely right too. I get out to nature (luckily there are 2 parks by my flat) and trying to do that daily is important to me, even with derealisation and even when only for a short time. It matters and I notice if I don't go, though bed days sometimes are needed. I don't use computers much these days as it was affecting me. Good to share self care strategies, thanks.
