I don't understand this feeling, I have it all the time, and I don't know what it is - I don't think its dp anymore, I am just stupefied - I can see the world but I don't feel connected to it and people in it. I am just watching. I am empty. I am in despair, I don't know what it is and I have had it for so long, as if I am not there, but I know I am. I obsess about it, I try to ignore it, I obsess about it again. I try to do other things, I run, I meet people, I do a bit of work at the computer, but I can't get it out of my perceptions and my brain. I feel robotic, things seem difficult to do, I am not connected to my emotions, I feel nothing....oooofffffff! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhh! Trapped in my mind is how it feels, I can't get out.

Hello Sarahakawhiterabbit

I wanted to say something but.. by the time I started typing my mind went blank :)

Perhaps I can say something that is happening to me that sounds a bit relative.

My mind is empty. There are thoughts but I don't want to think them (process them). But I have to. So, I think thoughts. Compulsively.

Err... I lost concentration and motive to continue. I promise to come back.

I know there are many threads that I see right and I want to reply, but I feel so tired. Why the hell am I tired to post? I know that if I post I have a good chanse to get a reply that it might me feel better or discover something I haven't thought of it yet.

Why am I tired to think? Fatigue... massive amounts of fatigue in body and mind.

And there is something else too... I am stuck in things that I want to do. Doesn't make an sense eh? Well... imagine this... I am doing that I like. I stop liking it but I keep doing it. Why? I just doing things that I liked but don't like any more. Maybe in order to keep my mind busy with the things that I think I like so that I will not see the things that spoil my beeing. The Ego's defenses? Don't know. Maybe.

I that other thread about "standstill" is a bit relative. Or maybe I got saged/drifted and just kept talking about the same issue here.

I definitely think that this is DP at its finest. I almost wonder if we go through different stages of this with each one being worse than the first. I hope there will come a point when the stages start to move in the more positive direction. Just a thought. Everything you described I think and feel on a daily minute to minute basis. I don't know if that will make you feel better or not. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone.

Thank you Kate.

I keep hearing members of this board saying that I have DP (or DR) but I keep doubting. Maybe because a part of me wants to say "psychiatry is a fraud". I have a natural tendency not to trust any kind of a doctor. I keep postponing my date to the doctor. I think I know why. I don't really believe that he will help. But then.. what are my options?

I have thought too that DP/DR could have stages. Levels of... I don't know what. Feels like standing in unknown territory all the time. It (DP/DR) or me is moving.

Hallo Kate and Brain Silence

Thanks for your posts - it does reassure me somehow that others do know what I am talking about. Yes I know what you mean Brain about losing motivation and getting stuck, I have to battle with myself to complete a task, it all seems too much, like you can't frame all the thinking needed to do it, like there is a lock on your head in some way. I often grind to a halt with things. Kate, your expression 'dp at its finest' made me smile, made it sound like a very good wine! And mine is a very good vintage indeed. Am now 41 started when I was ten....have been in it for the majority of the intervening thirty years - but probably not more than 60 or 70% of the time. I have been hospitalised, have tried to kill myself several times over - I have found that it ( if it is an it) has rendered me so non-functional that I have not wanted to go on. Its a horrible feeling of disconnected in ability to think or feel or react. I have it today, a friend has just come round for lunch, this should be a pleasurable experience but it isn't because the head is frozen and it all feels very difficult to talk coherently, prepare the food, respond to my surroundings.....grrrrrrrrrrrrr........aaaaaaaaaah.........why I am like this and cannot get re-connected I don't know, mine will tend to lift quite suddenly after several weeks or months.....and its only then really that I can see what a Hell it has been, because like Brain and many other people on the boards, I feel like I am making it up. Yuk, yuk, yuk. Still, we must all keep going.......bon courage a vous et tous les autres. Sarah x
