Hello, I've been suffering with DP/DR the past few weeks and have been experiencing the following;
- my normal surroundings feel strange
- I feel like I'm in another world to everyone else, really distant and detached
- I think maybe I am dead but my spirit doesn't realise it
- feel like life isn't real
- thinking existential thoughts like "life doesn't make sense" thinking human life is strange
- feeling like my whole perception on life has changed and that I'll never feel normal again
- feeling like I'm not human (but not that I'm anything else)
- feeling hopeless and depressed because of how I'm feeling
Please can you tell me if you have experienced any of the above and how you coped with it? If you have recovered please can you tell me how long it lasted for you and what you think helped you recover?
Did you avoid going out? I'm not really leaving my house because everything feels so strange and I just can't handle it.
Would really appreciate hearing from you if you have been through this
