Does anyone else feel better when your with a certain person!? Me and my BF, the father of my children, broke up a month ago. Sun night we went out to talk and He stayed till this morning. I felt freaking awsome all of Sun just knowing I was gonna see him and I continued to feel awsome till this morning. On my way to work I could feel myself sinking. I think it is cuz I know it has to go back to us being apart again! I always feel like 150% better when I am with him. Anyone else have this happen?

Distractions is the key. Also squish_is_me I have a similar experience with my ex! When I talk to her and hang out I feel a lot better... But when she's gone or I know she's gonna leave soon I start to sink again.

Really distraction is key! Over time you wont have time to think all these weird thoughts!

yes, if it's someone I feel VERY comfortable with then i don't notice my symptoms

well I dunno I dont mean he distracts me. I mean like I feel totally normal. I dunno it is as if I never was a DR person when we are together! I know it doesnt really make sence but it isnt as if I dont notice it when we are together its as if it doesnt exsist. Like I am cured! .... maybe that is just a fancy form of distraction...

social anxiety is an extereme cause of DP

I know personally, when i feel im being judged it puts me back into a DP state (however nowhere near the extent i had it)

for some reason i think having a gf would upset me more right now basically cuz i wouldn't really have any feelings, and also the whole not feeling in my body and physical things, but it also could make me feel a tiny bit better, and maybe some feelings could come back with a gf, but idk i don't want to risk it. if i explain to someone what i'm going through they might not understand or get scared away who knows.

I notice this with friends, they don't necessarily have to be a romantic interest. I have 3 or 4 really good friends with whom I feel completely normal most of the time. Friends that I'm not so tight with, being with them doesn't always help.
