@Anonymous I had a lot of patience with the dpdr and with myself and learned to live with it so I wasn't stressed out about it which really helped a lot. I also got new experiences like travelling to a different country and left the house a lot more and just tried to have fun despite the dpdr and it went away.

@Anonymous Yeah deffo. I had times where it would make me feel so anxious and depressed and have such negative thoughts that were totally out of character for me. I don't know what exactly triggered it but I think it started with existential thoughts

I’m dealing with it as well! It is hell and so scary. My psychologist said it’s caused by very high cortisol and severe stress, Try to do lots of self care if you can and try to ignore it (easier said than done for sure) !! You got this

@Anonymous It feels like nothing is real and I feel out of my body constantly. I always feel like I’m going crazy because everything seems so fake and distorted or it feels like I don’t exist

@Anonymous 3 months now! It is very stressful. Try to just accept it as best as you can, it does go away eventually from what I’m told!

@Anonymous this is my 2nd time having it the first time was due to smoking and had a panic attack and i can tell you it does go away. i have it again due to having harm OCD and it was traumatic to me so it caused dpdr. it’s hard to believe it’ll go away but it does!! im having just as a hard time as you and i know what it is.

any advice, thank you.
so since mid december i’ve been feeling like this , well first in mid december I’ve started feeling anxiety like normal, normal as in physical things like feeling like im going to pass out, shaking, chest pain, etc. but then it got worse , then it turned into more of mind stuff like feeling not real , feeling weird like idk. my mind is always runningg like on over drive, like looking back at myself that doesn’t seem like me. like idk. i can’t stand to look at myself anymore bc it doesn’t feel like me. i can’t be alone , when i think about to it makes it sm worse. but how do i stop thinking ab it? or make it better. i’m scared it’s gonna get worse. like i can’t even do my makeup anymore bc i think something bad will happen. i can’t go certain places , like stay the night bc i think something bad is gonna happen.
