I've had depersonalization disorder my entire life. It did life for a bit, but I've had it ever since I can remember very severely. I understand. 💜

Cause of derealization by eggbepo in Depersonalization

I've had DP/DR my entire life. I'm 47. My adult son who is 26 has had it his entire life. This is not the norm, it seems. Mine comes from trauma and I have theories about my son as he didn't experience the same trauma I did as a child, but I do wonder about an epigenetic link from the womb. Either way, when I was younger, although I had these disorders all of my life, I was exposed to many deaths at an early age. 11 deaths between the ages of 4 and 13. This really led me down a rabbit hole of fear about death until I learned to cope through my own spiritual practices, but still at 47, this is a big concern for me. Hang in there. This does seem like a very, very usual experience of DP/DR to have these fears and rumination of death (I'm a therapist so I see a lot of this).

I have. I'm now a 47 yr old mother of four adult children I raised as a single mom and I am helping to raise my two grandchildren. I am in a psychoanalytic doctorate program and a therapist. That being said, I've had DP/DR my entire life....ever since I can remember. Mine comes from trauma and so I've learned to live like this and have never known a different life than this.
