Hi elvin,
I also suffer from depersonalization and derealization and i can understand how you feel. I have had it for about 7 months and it definately feels maddening but it's not. What you have to do is learn to ignore it, it's because dp makes you really analytical and makes you focus inward on your symptoms, that's why it sticks around. The more you learn about it and learn it's a symptom of anxiety the less scary it feels, 1 thing though I wouldn't join the dpselfhelp forum if I was you, it is a depressing place and it will just put new ideas into your head to start obsessing over, like it did with me.The more you get involved with life and stop living inside your head being scared of feelings, then it will gradually fade away. I'am in no way trying to insult you there btw because I do exactly the same, but this is what i've been told. If you need someone to chat to about it you can pm me.
