Thought I would make my last post here somewhat good and up-tempo. There are a number of things I have learned in my existence with DP that have truly helped me....
* Remember to maintain good friends and a line of communicating with the world around you. It's best to continue punching through your innate ability to simply hide away inside yourself. Associate and interact with the people, no matter how odd it feels.
* Life will feel fake at times, and life will sometimes feel distant and simply odd - but push forward. The absolute worst thing you can do is overreact to the feelings when they hit you, you simply got to continue moving forward and feeling odd or fake while you're in the depths of this thing. It comes and it goes - and you'll get out of it someday.
* Feel the world - touch things, do things that are physical and fun and entertaining. Don't be afraid to let your emotions out every so often and experience your sensitivity. You've got a gift (believe it or not), and it's best to explore it.
* Actualize yourself - push yourself out there, get yourself moving and do the things that you love to do - no matter how odd it feels to do them. You'll only win this thing when you have finally stepped your fist step onto rocky soil again, feeling the earth underneath you again. Just keep pushing.
* Engage yourself - be active in your community or in things that get you in and around people.
And last, but not least - enjoy life. Is life real, or is it fake - are we in a dream or are we not - do we really exist or whatever...it all doesn't matter when you realize that this life you're in right now is what it is - good or bad, ugly or sad; and that you have a choice on your hands: to actively pursue making it the best it can be, or simply roll over and let it slip through your fingers. The single greatest fact I have learned in life: that life will give you experiences, and its your belief about those experiences that result in a good or bad state of living as a general consequence. You have been handed a reality folks, it's up to you what you do with it; you can make your own destiny.
