(this question is specially to those who have recovered or been close to recovery)
probably the number 1 tip to follow in order to overcome dpdr is to just live life normally, but it seems that every time i do this, and completely forget about dpdpr, its like i'm on automatic mode. and then when i 'gain consciousness' or 'wake up' from that 'trance', i get dpdr again (or a very long jamais vu or something)

are this automatic feelings/moments normal? will they go away when i overcome dpdr?

Go on. The attacks will become less powerfull and in time they will not come back. Don’t pay them attention.

When you have these moments, you can also guide yourself with good self-talk and suggestions. It might be something like, "there's nothing to worry about and nothing bad happens if I feel this way," or whatever is the most comforting self-talk for you.

Automatic reactions are just reactions we have learned and they can be overwritten with new instructions, it's just a matter of persistence and habit
