Does anyone on here have depersonalization disorder?
Anyone know of anyting that can help with the unreality?
I’m zoning out ALL the time now … cant take it much longer.
My shrink doesn’t know what to do for me… he suggested a checkup with my family dr. and I told him I didn’t like mine so he recommended a friend of his.
That appt. isn’t until the middle of April.
Going to try something to do with nutrition… he found a website about the two being connected, but even though this is all the time now stress triggers it even more so and takes it to a whole new level… that is a lack of a coping mechanism or the way I handle stress. It’s now like a default setting and I can’t get my brain to go back the way it was.
It’s not food related.
I’ve been online all night trying to find info and my eyes and brain have had it and I can’t read without them jumping all around.
It’s like I’m getting jolted awake from a dream, but only briefly and then the unreality sets back in then another jolt and unreality… but its constant… like with each breath.
Can’t do this much longer… the meds I tried didn’t help and Matt doesn’t know what to do for me. I’m at the end of my rope. This is something in the way I handle stress… not physical or nutrtion related. Just want OUT!

I do not have it, but I looked into it when I was trying to figure out what was wrong with me (ASPD). I have a good site http://my.clevelandclinic.org/disorders/dissociative_disorders/hic_depersonalization_disorder.aspx
they give potential ways of “curing” depersonalization disorder, some include hypnosis, medication, family therapy, cognitive therapy, psychotherapy, and creative therapy.
hi journey, never heard of depersonalization until your post and then i did some research on internet, what an odd disorder and experience it must be for you…
i found this depersonalization community site @ http://www.dpselfhelp.com/forum
you might want to check that out. many people say their condition was drug induced but fortunately the sensation fades although it does take time.
in my own experience, with my relatively recent descent into depression, i felt my personality leave me, dissipative. layers of identity were falling off me leaving but a banal body. it is not an out of body experience, but it feels like most of me has left.
i do hope you come back into yourself. stay strong-
Hi Journey,
I find in you a friend (:
I don’t have solutions or wise suggestions (hardly anyone does), but do try getting some exercise. I swam on Thursday and I felt a lot better.
(If you’re really so close to ending your life… maybe you should heck the care of anything and go do something crazy -> like flying to Japan, if you have the financial means, and helping the victims)
i have that it seems like going with it and trying not to fight it makes it go away faster
I’m sorry, I’m not really familiar with that disorder. Not by name at least. I can do some research on it myself if you still need help with solutions or anything about it though. Just let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
