its a psychology matter not a health issue.

DP and all dissociative disorders are the results of overwhelming emotions that our brain makes us run from.

Think back to the times you used to smoke pot, did you ever have a bad anxiety/panick attack?

Try and remember every detail about the events related to those times... The more you remember the less your dp will be.

Yes it is possible to have DP/DR 24/7 for this long. People have had it for years and have gotten through it. Marijuana definitely could have caused it. You are not alone.

Find a therapist and a psychiatrist. Have you ever tried any meds?

medications are a quick fix to make you feel better, not to actually make you better.

Read janines section on DP at the top which is a sticky thread.

The relief section is the important part.

It says you must bring back to conscious memory all the things that your brain runs from and keeps stored in yoru subconscious's 'vault' for memories.

Because you bring them back to conscious memory, it will probably give you some bad reactions and probably give you anxiety and depression again, however when you learn to incorporate these memories back into your life and to trust yourself that you can deal with them again, dissociative disorders will end.

I was suffering with DID without knowing until a few days ago. In the past few days ive spent lots of time remembering many things i had thought i had forgotten in my life. I could litterally feel my alter egos pulling back into one, as now i remember my single ego was fragmented after a highdose mushroom trip and experiencing whats known as "ego death"

Even though ive been depressed the past 2 days, i know the reason is because these memories ive repressed seem like they just happened, and that is what dissociative disorders are a defense of, and the cure is to make these memories not need to have a defense.

i tried the memories thing. it hasn't worked. i can't even think straight most of the time and my memories don't even seem like they are mine. its like i'm frustrated and mad i know it, but i don't feel it at all those emotions, but i know i am somewhere deep down inside. i can't seem to figure it out. anyone else feel like they know there frustrated and mad with this shit but can't feel those emotions, kinda just losing hope. i guess hopeless is a word and a feeling. thats kind of how i feel. hopeless.

it comes with time. What worked for me was going through a drive of my hometown this weekend.

I went home for my dads birthday and as i drove around i looked at everything i saw and tried to remember as much as i could.

Its not easy to just bring them out, you need the external reminders. Think about all the times you remember hanging out with a certain person, all the times you visited a certain place, all the times you can remember doing ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, and especially the way you reacted and felt at those times.

Its hard to relate to what im saying, cause these things are just personal understandings of the disease, but the more you try at it the more you will learn about yourself and the techniques you need for yourself.

Dont give up hope!

I do not believe DP/DR is caused solely by a psychological disturbance or disturbances. The leading researchers in the world are looking at the biochemistry of DP/DR, not the psychology of it. It is possible that a stressful event may cause a breakdown in our regular neurochemistry but it is also possible that such a breakdown can occur in the absense of a stressful event, in my opinion. It is important to not forget that in both cases, a change in neurochemistry must occur.
