I dunno if anybody else finds this but, since I have figured out I have DP/DR Just a couple of days ago, from what I have read on this forum the best bet is to not pay attention to the way the world looks and just try and ignore it, and get on with your life, BUT, does anybody else find it so damned hard to ignore!? coz if your eyes are open you can see the world looking a tad odd!! its like a constant reminder, anybody else get frustrated with this?

Yes, I find it very difficult and it continually gets me down and makes me want to give up trying to pretend to be normal - which I frequently do.

Agreed, but we must NOT give up, because it is just a perception, nothing has changed, and we can get it sorted, so come on whiterabbit! just keep working on ignoring it, and keeping your mind occupied with other things that interest you, YOU CAN DO IT ! each time I pay less attention to it, or get occupied with something else I feel 10 times happier and more relaxed, I think DP/DR FEEDS Anxiety, Depression, Worry, and VICE VERSA! which is I think the whole damned problem, so sure its a hard catch 22 situation, but we are strong and can WIN! just because its hard does not mean it cant be done. 8)

Yes indeed there is more joy in life for me when i take the focus off the derealization. I'm just grateful i CAN see.
