My dp/dr is sometimes so bad that it consumes me. I cannot think through the feelings. I cannot comfort myself as the words in my head dont have any impact. My mind doesnt feel my own.

How do I recover from this. I feel the only way to recover is to froget how it feels and that is impossible.

Will it fade over time or am I stuck with this forever.

My mind feels strange. I look at other people and wonder how they think. I wonder what hey are thinking about. The way they are thinking seems impossible to me. I am afraid of thinking because it scares me.

What is the answer to this. Will it fade over time or am I stuck with this forever. Does anybody know and can you help me please.

Hi Jude...love the name btw.

I can tell you that it does fade with time...the awful consuming feeling. I wish everyone who has had it fade, whether it be by coming to some sort of peace with it after learning how to deal with it, by medication, or just by the fact it "lifted", would post here to let you know it can happen.

But in reality you won't get all those people to reply ( I do hope people will try. It is so helpful for others to know the bad, bad times can get easier). If you read the recovery part of the forum or just bounce in and out of some old threads, you will find it has happened for people.

Oh, I can say you will have to work on achieving this. Learning to deal with this is a challenge, but the reward is worth it. But it will not coming knocking on your door, wearing a grin. You must be willing to grab the beast by it's horns and shake the damn thing till it loosens it's grip.

Most sincerely,
terri

mine used to be a lot worse than it is now. it does fade in and out....at least for some people. others just learn to deal with it. either way, it'll get better for you in time, i believe.

Hey Jude.
Hahaha.. is that all I wanted to say?
No... I just wanted to say I feel the same way. I have no idea how other people think the way they do.. I'm pretty much in an entirely different realm..

Judging from the posts here, it does get better. I haven't seen the relief yet but its been only a few years for me yet. Good luck.

Hola,
DP/DR is the damnedest thing! There are some days when you think that you're doing pretty well, then something will occur to send it "skyrocketing" into orbit! It's just part of the disorder I guess. The best thing to TRY to do is to just keep fighting and never give up. I realize it's not the easiest thing in the world to do...but there will come a time when you see that you can "wrangle" your DP into some sort of submission...even if its just for short periods of time to start with. Attitude is everything.

I wish you well,

Tony
