I posted on several occasions about how my DP has ceased to exist, but it is making a comeback. I'm going through a terrible time right now recovering from a sports injury that has put me out of commision for 2-3 months; my girlfriend decided to move on after deciding not to put up anymore with my years of commitment phobia; family lives overseas, etc. DP is defenitely a stress issue for me, unlike some of you all who get it for no reason. I guess DP is trying to protect me or something.....I feel like crap! Sorry if it sounds more like I'm venting my frustration

I'm sorry, I hope you can get over it again. My DR is the exact same way. I had gotten it completely taken care of, then I just got a huge amount of stress from the fact that I wasn't able to move (there's a lot to it) and now it has come back in full force.

Hey guys

Its nice to find your messages. My DP is stress related too! Ive never had a DP attaack when ive been chilled out. Ive been going throuugh HELL for 2 years now with problems at university and ive had DP for 6 weeks now. I had this DP for a few months with stress 5 years ago, and when the stress went the DP went with it. I started taking prozac 2 weeks ago but flushed em today, i want to feel in control and retain any strength and normality as much as is possible.

Any tips please let me know

A question to everyone on this thread: when y'all had/have DP, does it feel like you'll never be normal again? Do you feel like you can't picture living your life without the DP?

For 2 years, I didn't have a problem with DP, but recently, it came back (going off klonopin). Now I feel like I'll be stuck like this forever. Even worse, I can't picture getting rid of the DP and still being the same person. Almost like it's an essential part of who I am. Rationally, I know that's absurd, but I feel that way.

Does anyone else feel like that?
