I have read that many people here in this board feel their DP worsen during sunny days. Also fluorescent lights seem to aggravate DP state in many of us. However, I LOVE sunny days and feel always more alive and less derealized when the sun is shining. Fluorescent lights are no probrem to me either, though I do not like artificial light.

I also have wondered how people feel better when wearing glasses, as for me wearing glasses makes my DR feel worse. Maybe this is bc I have very strong near-sightedness (more than -10) and glasses shrink my view quite a lot and also my vision is always "framed" with glasses. Contact lenses do not shrink the view, nor do they frame it - and what is most important for me: while wearing contact lenses I don't feel looking at the world behind glass, which I already feel bc of the icy wall of derealization.

I remember that when I first got DR, I used to take my glasses off and sometimes could get rid of DR by watching the world without them. Unfortunately this stopped working quite soon though.

But, the point of my post is to wonder why we are so different - why sunny days make DR worse for some people and I feel better? And why some people feel that wearing glasses feels better, when I feel the contrary? I don't have any anxiety, maybe the partial reason lies there? I don't really know, but I find these differencies interesting, as they feel so paradoxical to me.

I absolutely HATE strong sunlight, especially in the spring when the sun is very strong. I also don't feel weel in fluorescent light.

I don't know why it's different for you. I guess that not all people with DP are sensitive to light, allthough many are.

i like the sunlight its comforting, especially after alot of rain and snow, i sure as hell think its better than rain, my dr gets worst when i wear sunglasses because it makes the world even more fake for me, as if im in some video game for nintendo, DR vision sucks! i cant get used to it, its too fuckin trippy im sick of it, im sick of how i cant understand it. Its not like you can describe this shit really, I think our nuerotransmittors for perception get slowed down seriously. WTF ! WTF IS THIS CRAP, THIS IS BULLSHIT! im sorry i only got 5 hours of sleep last night and i feel jumpy, i just want this shit to end for all of us, its affecting our lives so bad, i can feel my whole future going down the drain because of this scum that has a fucking name.
