When I encounter difficulty with my dp/dr,Ive trained myself to remember one very important thing:How would I change reality to escape dp/dr.Would I feel any more comfortable if 2 moons instead of one rose at night,or if people didnt have noses or maybee one large eye instead of 2.Its then I realize that the world is as good as we can hope for and anything different from it would truely freak us out.From this,I also remind myself that dp is a result of emotional trauma,and nothing to do with the nature of reality.Its also a good way of realizing what a stupid and useless,selfish trance the habitual use of dp is:a half way house we use to avoid responsibility and ultimately waste our lives.None of us are born like this,we owe it to ourselves to think productively again.

I often wonder why I got into this, what emotional trauma set it off and keeps me in this place. I often think if some one could hypnotize me back to where I was before This happened, I would be alright. I think it is somewhat of a habbit ,the ruminating and the way things tend to look, the way we monitor our thoughts and are waiting for the CRAZY TRAIN to cary us away.. A thought is a thought is a thought and it can't hurt you.

I can think of plenty of things to change in this world that would make me feel better. Maybe you have something against it, but world peace would not freak me out in the least. A cure for cancer and other horrible diseases also would not freak me out.

I don't always have a problem with the nature of reality itself. I have a problem with the contents of this reality I inhabit. If horrible, unjust, and cruel things didn't constantly happen then perhaps I would not be as scared and have to disconnect myself. My life is easy, but I recognize that life in general is tough, unforgiving, and often senseless in the way it plays itself out. This is not mean't to be contrarian, or negative for the sake of being negative. When I think of all the horrible things that happen or could happen, I freak out. I can't help that. I wish the world would change.

Nothing against world peace.A cure for cancer would be terrific.You might not be as apollo 13'd as you think if you care about these things.They're real issues and point to the common good of mankind.Use your compassion to come back.
