[anti-anti depressants]

I think I've just suffered my first bought of DP. I've always had DR but never DP.

I could feel something strange happening, I tried to take my mind off it. Went to brush my teeth, picked up the toothbrush and it was If it was'nt my arms/hands picking it up. They felt as If they were'nt a part of my body. I looked in the mirror and thought, shit is that me!!

Is this DP?

 

[Imagine]

Yes. Classic Depersonalization.

Is this supposed to be a constant thing? I just took my mind off it and it soon passed. Does it just come and go like that?

Its episodic for me. Sometimes its very intense and other times its extremely mild. It depends on the siatuation and on my thoughts.

for some people it comes and goes and for some it is always there. if you can just keep taking your mind off of it like you did that time, you'll be in really good shape. hopefully you won't develop it full time. mine is on and off.

Depersonalization with it's classic symptoms is only episodes for me. not 24/7.
