What were you like before DP?

This is my first post since probably 2004 or 2005 when I was an active member.

I was really, really confident. Very social and popular. Had a lot of friends. Very bright and attending a top liberal arts school in the country. Making good grades. Was going places. Kind of cocky but had a good heart. That was 1999. The DP/DR hit after about three days of heavy drinking and ecstasy use.

Now I'm not social, struggling with work and family. No confidence and ridden with anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. I've still done OK (by objective measures) but have been battling these demons a long time. The good news is I've made it 20 years with this. It's been very difficult but still worth it.
