Hello fellow people browsing this page, I wanted to start up a quick discussion on what I’ve been experiencing now that I’m a while into dp/dr

I’ve had dp/dr for about more than a year now and things have improved, im able to function again but not fully still. Before I had to quit my job for months and now im back to light studies and a small amount of work shifts at a restaurant. The main things on my mind right now is how I don’t feel my emotions as much and in general I feel still a bit like I don’t have a personality, like I’m not a person just a body with a semi consciousness. Also depression hits pretty hard I don’t enjoy things really in my day to day routine while I used to before. I just sit in bed after work or school and feels like I’ll go crazy sometimes, even though I know I’m not going to. This is weird lol but if anyone wants to write anything to me pls do.

-Amelia

Hi Amelia, I hope you get well soon
I can relate to your pain, you need to know that you’re not alone and you are strong and you will get through this. When bringing your conscious to the now moment or the reality try saying “I feel safe in my body” or “ I am me, the world is here, I am safe” these words are a kind of affirmation to dpdr so they might help as it worked with me. Obviously this is only a temporary relief, so I advice you to see a therapist and get help, because you deserve it.
hope we all get well

I think dp/dr is caused by staphylococcus infection. I did a blood culture test recently and found out i have a staphylococcus in my blood,after researching about staphylococcus i found out there's a connection between staphylococcus and mental illness. I'll start treatment for the staphylococcus soon, I'll write an update if it works (ie if treating staph cures my dp/dr)

I think staphylococcus infection could be the cause of my dp/dr. I did a blood culture test recently and found out i have a heavy staphylococcus infection in my blood. After some research i see that there's a connection between staphylococcus and mental illness.

I'll advice everybody here to do a blood culture test for staphylococcus and Candida both infections can cross the blood- brain barrier.

Brain infection with Staphylococcus aureus leads to high extracellular levels of glutamate, aspartate, γ-aminobutyric acid, and zinc - PubMed

Staphylococcal brain infections may cause mental deterioration and epileptic seizures, suggesting interference with normal neurotransmission in the brain. We injected Staphylococcus aureus into rat striatum and found an initial 76% reduction in the extracellular level of glutamate as detected by...
