I've had DP/DR off and on for nearly 5 years, though it seems every couple of years it gets so bad I can barely function. I know that getting up and fighting it will help, but I have a severe phobia of fainting which makes it hard. I was wondering if anyone has felt some of this with DP/DR

- Vivid spells where everything seems like a lucid dream, everything is more intense and hard to handle

- Feeling like at any second you could just fade out or faint.

- Taking hours to completely wake up

- Getting super tired, but not ready for sleep.

- DP that gets so bad with stress that you feel like you're not even in control

Yes, I have all of these symptoms and I've had DP/DR for about 5 years too. My DR is a lot worse and my DP tends to only come out when I'm very stressed. I've never fainted though, no matter how much I 'faded away'.

I appreciate the reply! So you feel the "fading out" thing too? It's super uncomfortable.

Yes and sorry for the late reply! It is uncomfortable and scary. For me it almost feels like im slipping out of reality, or reality is slipping away from me
