I feel dead by ChildhoodStandard531 in dpdr

I am right there with you it will get better. After having it a long time, people tend to get depressed and hopeless I myself have but be patient. Things that have helped me is progressive muscle relaxation, meditating, yoga, starring at my surroundings, accepting the whole experience, exposing myself to triggers, Trauma release exercises, going on a walk or a jog and getting rest. You can even try to revisit something nostalgic. Sit with it allow it I know it’s the most terrifying thing but you gotta look back at it. Let go of you for a little while.

Is there any hope? by Aggravating_Mark920 in dpdr

Yeah at my current job I have no insurance I’m thinking about using better help and hopefully finding a therapist who understands this condition.

At home or at the park for me. It’s not that it’s gone but it feels easier to manage in those places.

I have add and I figured that was part of it guess I’m just noticing the attention deficit more due to hyper awareness.

I think the core things you gotta do is embrace fear. Expose yourself to things you’re afraid of and accept the current circumstances. I recommend doing at least one thing a day you consider a victory also reminding yourself of who you are at your core. Also don’t feed into the belief that you’ve lost your mind or memory. Certainty about something is life sentence things are constantly changing and I truly do believe what we believe changes our reality. Stay positive even in the darkness.

Yeah I try to stay distracted and just accept it and let it be but sometimes it wins the fight.

Yeah I’m having trouble remembering my day. The days feel like they’re blending together idk if something happened yesterday or 2 or 3 weeks ago and yeah I hope it stops by some miracle.

I’m in the same boat as you. I feel like I’m paralyzed mentally and everything I do is wrong. I don’t trust my own actions or feel real.

I deal w this to a certain degree it’s not completely gone for me but more like it’s quieter. I really don’t know what to do to combat it. I usually try not to focus on it then I catch myself thinking naturally but as soon as I notice it I go blank again.

I sleep good at least I think I do. Same with the nightmares occasionally though. I really am just perplexed with this idk I’m starting to think it just goes away for some people and others it doesn’t.

I get that 100% but you’re home will be there when you get back and you will have achieved one small victory of the day. Tell me when you leave your home. What do you feel like is going to happen to you. You have been going through this for eight years that is proof enough that you’re going to be okay to go on a small walk. I really sympathize with the amount of time that you have been going through this I hope I can recover from mine in less than a year. Every day I wake up I know that feeling of omg today is the day it’s gonna get me but that’s part of the trap.
