Hi, I would like to have some advice. I have had DR for 6 years with a slight degree. It increased with stress and certain situations, it never left me for a moment. Now, after breaking up with my girlfriend, I got general anxiety and strong DR and have no idea what to do now. Earlier I had no fears about it, unless I looked at the wall and it seemed different. I'm afraid that now this 6-year-old DR has merged with what is now and will never disappear. I feel like committing suicide, I don't have the strength for it all the time I'm crying I'm so lost that I feel that I only have suicide left. In 3 days I have behavioral therapy and I'm afraid to go to it, I'm afraid of not understanding. Nobody understands me; (Please help. I can't accept, I don't know what it means, it seemed to me that I accepted this state for 6 years.

I don't know why the previous state persisted

i can PROMISE you you are not alone. Most people look forward going to sleep at night to escape the DPDR but i dread it because i know i have to wake up and start the entire battle with my mind holding onto sanity by a thread again. Throughout my time having this i have never felt as hopeless as i do now and its scaring me aswell. Hang in there please, i promise if i can do it you can do it. Try baby steps each day and dont force too much change. All we can do.

One day at a time.You don't know what to do? Then don't do anything you don't have to do. I overcame suicidal thoughts by surviving one day at a time. I was so hopeless, I was

convinced I was going to kill myself to end my suffering. I was so convincing, I actually made a crisis counselor cry over the phone because she was sure I was

going to kill myself. I was sick out of my mind. I still feel bad about that. When I recovered, I sent the foundation a nice donation. Take it easy on yourself.

Now is not the time to wrestle with life's bigger issues. Relax when you can. Try to get the rest you need.. Take extra special care of yourself.

Let time be on your side. I.never thought I could pull away from the black hole I was in. I just refused to give in. And, I feel guilty about it because

I don't believe that everyone else is going to make it. I just want you to know that you can make it if you persist and persevere. Good luck.

You are giving so many "advices" that in reality there are no advice at all. I have the impression that you have no idea about what you are in reality posting.

Lets take "Smart TMS". There is no treatment called "Smart TMS". "SMART TMS" is UK based rTMS chain who on their site claims to treat depersonalization. Joe Perkins who is behind the YouTube channel "dpd dairies"has just submitted a book manuscript on depersonalization and in a video he address that he aware of 21. Patients with depersonalization who have consulted "Smart TMS" and only two have felt some benefit from it.

Mahn! Mayer-Gross I know you are a detail- oriented genius and I respect that but look at the bigger picture, this advices are not my self created, this is list I created after analyzing the websites and people who are doing great, I am not saying to try everything at once, that's impossible, smart tms or rtms or TMS, I just wanted to address that something like that exist which might potentially help and I know it's better to go for ECT rather than rTms coz atleast ECT will cure depression and maybe for DP, coz DP is actually not as brutal as anxiety and depression, which makes you think silly, just like the case with this guy and many other, there is no need to suicide because one can try many things before doing something stupid.

Sorry to hear you are going through this. Breakups are one of the hardest things to go through so you will be suffering from that on top of the regular dp/dr. Believe me, I've had a few breakups whilst experiencing dp/dr. Try and hang on. Make this the time you eventually look back on and admire yourself for the strength it took to pull through. There is no easy fix but there might be things that make it a little easier and possibly small lights at the end of the tunnel. slowly pulling you towards a new confident, happy life. I always advise people to get therapy if you can. It might not cure your condition but it can set you on course for a better life that may eventually cause the dp/dr to fade. Regular aerobic and strength exercise can help you feel a bit better. It's not a cure but everything adds up. Sometimes people need medication, especially if their depression has taken over. If you feel you can't cope and nothing is helping then speak to your doctor about medication. Try the minimum dose and give it a good month or two if you go down that route. Take care of yourself.
