Has anyone ever had such an extreme out of the blue attack of dp/dr it was like your brain got tottally disconnected from your body and thoughts?!?!?!

I'm talking sh!t that even effected your ability to function, like talking or typing, gets all mixed up and stuff.

I had this about half an hour ago... and it's took me 5 damn minutes to write this post.

Seriously heavy stuff. Like boom, gone, staring into space.

Damn.

I actually have a physical symptom where I try to move or talk sometimes and I can't... Like when in your dreams you try to run and you stay on the one spot.

This is hella f*cked up. Seriously.

I know what you're talking about, although normally I can feel a really big attack build up quite slowly for a while before hand. At the moment though I just keep feeling like I'm switched off, no fear, just suddenly removed from the world. Not the usual unable to interpret it feeling, but just not in it. Is that what you mean?

I like your picture, it's funny.

This was just like out of the blue, I was walking and all of a sudden I could'nt feel myself doing so and I could'nt even think.

imagine im getting that more and more often. ill be typing or walking my dog or something and all of a sudden it hits me and everything feels so alien to me and then i start to panic cos i wonder if im dying or going insane or something. a lot of the time what happens though is ill be watching tv or something and then start staring into space, not even thinking about anything. the next thing i know a couple of hours have passed and i have absolutely no recollection of anything that i saw on tv during that time..its like ive totally switched off. that really freaks me out cos i wonder if that will happen one day and ill 'wake up' to find that instead of a couple of hours my whole life has passed and im in my seventies or something. really freaky cx

my initial period of dp hit me like that. also during that time waking up in the morning into dp felt like that for me.

Hola Gang,
That's when I realize that I am going through an "episode" of heavy DP...I'll be doing something, then I realize that I am way...way lost. Here's an example for you, I remember sitting on my front porch this summer, when I realized I had been watching ONE sprinkler move back and forth for about 15 minutes solid, while thinking about NOTHING!!! Some days I really hate this thing(DP).

See you guys around,

Tony

I'm glad I can come here and read about this. This is the sort of thing that needs CONSTANT reassurance, in order to realize im not completely insane or alone. This hasn't happened to me bad yet, when I find myself slipping into the unknown I'm usually able to pull myself out of it quickly. I feel for you though.
