hi, will do a proper intro later on as not got time at the mo, but one thing I have read on one site is that has kind of freaked me out is that "Depersonalization can potentially accompany many, if not all, mental illnesses" is this true, please someone give me some words of comfort from this?
thanks

Hi 777 and welcome aboard.
It is true that it can and quite a few of us have had it at one time or another.
What is it that worries you about it?
Not everyone gets it - some get it more than others. People are all different I guess.

Depersonalization doesnt worry me as we can beat this but what scares me is that it can lead to a mental illness, I dont want to lose my mind, I am frightened by this especially, recently finding out hat was wrong with me ie Depersonalization. Just looking for some words of comfort that may help.

Oh sorry I misread what you were asking.
What I meant was that depersonalization is usually a symptom of other illnesses like stress, anxiety, panic etc. So in that case you already have the mental illness in a way.
I have never know it to send anyone "mad" if that is what you mean.
I assume you must have anxiety or panic or something similar as it is?

more stress related than anything i used to be fine but depersonalization described what I have been going through recently it hit the nail on the head, though it is not major for me I still suffer from it. Thankyou all for your words much apprecited, I get scared sometimes that I ay forget where I live, goldfish bowl etc I know "meg" on here had the same problem and she used to wear labels as I read on her thread now she is cured which is great to read. I am not forgetting which was good to read also.

Hi 777
Usually depersonalization comes as a result of your brain being so overwhelmed with anxiety, panic or worry that it goes into self preservation mode = depersonalization .
When it happens to some people they don't understand what it is thats hapening to them and think its the road towards madness - like I did. As I improved it went and that was years now

Hi 777
Welcome to the forum.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
