Hey everyone,
I need to tell you all that when I first ever had DP after my first ever panic attack many years ago, I did not let it stop my life, I was scared yes and I had no idea what it was but I went to work everyday and within one week I just woke up one day and it was gone just like that. When it happened again two years ago after another panic attack, I did everything wrong, I stopped work and stayed in my room thinking changing anti-depressants would solve my problem but they never did, what I am saying is the only way to beat this is not to see it as something to beat as then it has more power in your mind. What you have to do and it is also the hardest thing to do, is carry on with your life, throw yourselves into anything and everything that will keep the mind busy because if you sit there and constantly think about trying to get rid of it then it will not go because you are giving it the fuel it needs to exist. This thing will stop the less attention you give it I promise.
I know it is hard and seems impossible to have a normal life with and if you are anything like me, then you probally have thought you are going crazy but have you gone crazy yet? No and you won't because DP is not dangerous, it just feels like it is. I promise you that you can and will lead a normal life again and you will forget what it is even like to have DP.
My best wishes to you all going through hell......keep going.
