Come on everybody, let's be honest here. You have to admit that as bad as your depersonalization is, the announcement that the jury was ready to announce their verdict with all the anticipation had to have made you feel real; maybe for only ten minutes.
Michael Jackson verdict make you feel real again???

Why would it?!
When I had really bad DP, I was three miles away from Ground Zero when everything went kaput. The worst homeland terrorist act in American history did NOTHING except make me wish I was in the building at the time.
That being said, shopping was helpful at the time...that distracted me

Can't comment on the DR distraction in this case - although anything that makes my heart beat faster when DR'd (like watchin the 9/11 horror) only made it worse.
Anyhow, only in America can people like Jackson (who, innocent or not - it a complete freak and should be locked away anyway) and OJ get off scott-free, while 16 year old black mentally disabled kids are rotting on death row. Doesn't it make you kinda sick ?

Im in no way a Michael Jackson fan, but in my opinion, he is not a child molester. This case is nothing like OJ. This time justice has been served. The only thing he is guilty of is being extremely bizzare and naive which is not illegal. I think his accusers were a bunch of dishonest, money-grubbing pieces of shit. As far as Im concerned the mother of the accuser should rot in jail. Hopefully now they wont get a dime.

·I wonder what happened with the testimony of one of Mr Jackson's servants who saw Michael fondle this young boy's private parts? I wonder what happens with such evidence.
Eventhough he's acquitted, I still would not trust my children (if I had them) with him (if I had the opportunity ofcourse).
Also, I saw Lisa Presley on Oprah a while ago, and she told how manipulative Mr Jackson is.
It was interesting to hear how she got 'worked' by him, how he manipulated her into a relationship. Bet he uses that on the kids too.
What was interesting is that John Douglas, an FBI Profiler, made a profile based on the evidence in the Simpson case and the results show it's almost 100% sure OJ did it (ofcourse everybody knows he did, and it turned out he is a sociopath).

Nothing changes the dp/dr for me no matter what is going on around the world. I believe if you are in this illness it does not matter what is going on it does not change the illness like that. It would be like saying if you had cancer and found out you won the lottery would it be all better, in my opinion no it would not.
It is truly very sad what Michael Jackson was put through. I agree with Dakotajoe, just because someone is different from the norm does not mean they are molesters. Here is a man who may possibly end up with dp/dr due to the fear of being convicted for something he did not do. Justice was served in this case. In this world we are all different there are no two people the same, if I do not act like a group of people that act a certain way does that mean I am not a worthy human being. It is very sad how people are judged.
gem.

I actually find that events (maybe not the Michael Jackson verdict since i really couldn't care less whether he's found guilty or not) of monumental significance, like 9/11 do indeed allay my DP feeling quite a bit. I guess for me it's just a case of having my mind preoccupied. That's why sometimes i wish there was like, an asteroid or something headed toward earth. It would be so damn exciting. Hopefully America would be able to send Robert Duvall and some astronauts to eventually stop it, but just to have some big planetary dilemna would really do wonders for my DP.
March 23, 2005 -- One of the prosecution's most important witnesses in Michael Jackson's child molestation trial has been jailed in Las Vegas on charges of burglary, robbery and first-degree kidnapping, all with a deadly weapon, ABC News has learned.

Accuser's Mother Sunk the Case, Say Jurors
Another Twist in Holloway Disappearance
Murder in the Valley of the Kings?
Chris Carter, 25, was arrested Feb. 19 and is being held at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas, records show. He had been the pop star's personal bodyguard during the time the alleged molestation took place and has been cooperating with the prosecution.
Jackson, 46, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor and plied the boy with alcohol. The boy, now 15, has testified to having been given wine, which he said Jackson called "Jesus juice," at Jackson's Neverland ranch.
Carter's testimony is expected to provide more corroboration of the accuser's story than that of any witness aside from a family member. He is the only witness independent of the accuser's family who has put Jackson and the boy drinking together.
In his grand jury testimony, Carter also said he saw children drinking at Jackson's Neverland ranch, that he saw the accuser drunk and that the accuser said Jackson was "OK" with it, and that the accuser and his younger brother frequently slept in the pop star's room.
Carter's testimony is considered important because he was close to Jackson and spent a great deal of time in the presence of the pop star, including occasions when the singer was with the accuser and his family.
Carter's arrest would not prevent him from testifying at Jackson's trial, and authorities in Santa Barbara County, Calif., still want him to testify. He has been approved for transport to Santa Barbara for an April appearance.
However, a source close to the case says the defense could use the arrest to try to put his integrity in question.
Carter's lawyer would not discuss the details of the arrest. He said Carter has pleaded not guilty, and he is trying to get the bail reduced. Carter has a status hearing on Monday.
Carter Said He Saw Jackson, Boy Sharing Drink
According to grand jury transcripts, Carter said he saw the pop star and his accuser drinking alcohol on a flight from Miami to Santa Barbara after a British documentary on the pop star aired on ABC.

In an effort to show solidarity with Michael Jackson and his verdict, all depersonalization sufferers on this board are urged to gather in front of the Neverland Land ranch this Friday evening. We will all arrive dressed in Peter Pan outfits-Michaels favorite Disney character- and we'll all reanact the final zombie dance sequence from the 1984 hit Thriller.
I think we're all missing the point here. Guilty or not, which none of us are qualified to know, doesn't the verdict give him vindication of his 'weird' (at the very,VERY least) behaviour of letting small boys sleep in his bed with him, touching them up or not ? If I did it, I'd be locked up for life in the blink of an eye.
No smoke without fire people.

Whats worse, a naive man(or a child in a mans body) who lets kids sleep with him or a mother who obviously trained her young kid to lie about sex abuse just so she could score millions? Keep in mind there were plenty of allegations about him over the years and yet all these parents flocked to his ranch with their children. I dont believe Michael Jackson is a child molestor(maybe an idiot). I think these money grubbers simply took advantage of how naive he really is. The verdict was spot on.

Don't give me this naive bollocks. A man like him ? A man ? A man with the same sexual urges as all other men, letting little boys sleep in his bed ? Which he doesn't deny. Give me a break. I agree, he's an easy target for money grabbers, but he's still a freak who should be under psychiatric observation, at least.
