thats what i was worried about the fact that i question are we fueling the fire by constantly reseaching this illness,i myself dont visit as much as i used to,i recall logging onto andys old site and reading every piece of information but i too am stuck in a position where i do try my best to offer reassurance to others as i feel reasurance can be the main thing that gets us through the day...when i first had dp (1991) i had a close friend that had the same sort of problem (didnt know what it was then) and he got me through it in about 2 years by offering help and advice...sometimes i feel it would be nice to have another person with me on a daily basis to give me the balls to get stronger
