Hi guys - I wanted to post here to offer a little bit of hope and maybe some inspiration.

I've suffered from chronic DP and DR (every second of every day) for the last 13 years. Complete hell on earth.

I want to show you that you CAN still have a life worth living.

I've been travelling whenever I can and pushing myself as much as possible out of my comfort zone for around 6 years.

Follow my adventures... www.justonestepfurther.wordpress.com

Every trip is hard (really hard) and I never think I'll be able to cope. So far I've proved myself right a few times, but the experiences I've taken away from these adventures make me happy every day.

At one point I was housebound for two years straight due to these terrifying symptoms. Last summer I spent an entire month wandering through the streets of Paris. Before that I went hiking in the French Alps and saw Mont Blanc.

FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY

Check out my site - and PLEASE let me know what I could write that will help you. I can't do recovery stories because I haven't reached recovery. But I can write about living regardless of this condition.

That's so awesome!!! I love your website, photos, and journals.

I have hitchhiked, ridden freight trains, and traveled across 40 US states living out of a backpack with dp in an attempt to beat it.

It's still here but I have gained some good stories.

Have fun on your adventures!
