Hello strangers, I am back for a little. Some of you might remember me from a few years ago. You can see all my anxious ranting in previous posts. I just wanted to pop by and say hi. Plus I have my own health anxiety issues going on right now that i posted looking for reassurance and advice.

It has now been just over 5 years since I ended up with DP/DR and no it has not went away yet sadly :( - However what I can say is the depersonalisation part has. I now feel myself in my body all the time, I feel my emotions I don't feel like i am separated from myself. The only thing lingering is the derealization. Still sadly behind 50 planes of glass and feeling like everything is a dream.

That being said, I no longer lie on the couch all day everyday in a state of 24/7 panic, I have managed to cope I guess to a ok standard. I still am no way near recovered or back to the old me. But I guess I have realised that for myself I just need to give my brain time to make me realise I am safe.
