How incapacitating can DPRD be for you?

808 Views 7 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Absent
I am well used to pacing slowly through my DPRD symptoms to get basic practicalities achieved, though it is so trying. I am patient with myself, taking things slowly to interpret body and environment enough to find some path each day. However, often I have to stop for a day, when DP and DR preclude ability to move about and interact with 'reality'. There is just not enough awareness. I then have to lie down all day, which is boring but necessary. Then I get more done the following day. How frequently does DPRD stop you like this? I.e. it 'removes' you so much that you have to rest from trying to have a presence in the world and just allow a crash out day? Thanks.

Hey there,

It is not at all uncommon for those with DP/DR to feel "disabled". I have seen many come through this place who find themselves bedridden for weeks, months. Especially in the onset of their dissociation.

I myself definitely need my "Chill Time" to rest and recharge. Many of the people here are introverts, naturally. So it's no wonder that most here tend towards isolation.

Take care of your own health first, that is most important. When you're ready, start to socialize with those around you physically, family/friends/pets. It's perfectly okay to take time out and just chill. The problem is when it is all of your time, because even the most sane person would develop cabin fever when isolated.

I'd also say to get some time off the screen. If you can find some alone time with yourself offline, perhaps in the garden or a park, then that would help. There was a study recently that the Human Brain is Healthier whilst immersed in Nature VS a City setting.
