I think I have come out of DP, but I feel very unwell physically, bad cold, shivers and feeling sick and I feel a bit depressed too, I feel like I am stuck under a black cloud and I just want to cry. This DP lasted 3 months, can you come out of it with depression, I have never had this before? Help

You have a cold? Take care of yourself and don't worry about the DP. You are bound to feel histtty when you have a bad cold.

Drink liquids and sleep as much as you can. Take aspirin. Try to let it flow.

You'll be fine. Just rest and do not worry or Sojourner will come over to where you are and give you something to worry about!!!

A lot of the times, DP can be a cover for depression. Your mind uses is at as a way to distract you from the real emotional stuff going on in your life, so if you get rid of it, it's possible that the depression that it was meant to cover up would surface.

Hi there,

Television has given you great advice there. Hit the nail on the head I think.

whenever dp lifts for me (and it never seems to lift all the way), I feel such intense sadness, almost more than I can bear.

so I do see how dp can act as a defense, but I have to say I would prefer the pain any day....

I expect that when coming out of DR/DP, your immune system is pretty low anyway, or rather you are more prone to chills and minor illnesses, particually if you've been pounding down medication. Aching muscles and the like could be due to stress, depression, or perhaps you had them already at the time that DR/DP was at it's fiercest, so you paid them no attention. Could be any, or a combination of all.
