Thank you for posting this! I know exactly how you feel. I too recently just found this site and it re assures me I am not going insane. I have suffered with dp for 3 years or more I can't even remember feeling real anymore. Just recently it has gotten much worse and is interfering with my life. Some days I can't even leave the house, let alone my room. Don't let that scare you though! When I read people have had it for years and still have it I feel doomed but I know there is hope for everyone.
My advice is, eat well, be sober completely, find a good support system, find something that reminds you you are real.
I wear earrings and when I put them on I say to myself I am real, I am here. Then later in the day I freak out and try to look at my earrings and remember when I put them on that I said I am real I am here. Doesn't always work but just try to find something to symbolize you are here and alive.
I don't have a lot of answers for you since I myself am trying to work through this but if you have any questions or just need to talk about it you can always message me. I find almost everyone on here is very helpful and supportive.
Good luck to you!
