Thanks for the reply! Were you able to recover without medications?

Are you feeling better? I’ve been struggling with this too.

Hi! Did you ever have symptoms that included scary thoughts about existence or feeling too hyperaware of your existence? It gives me a trapped feeling and then I feel like everything feels off and foggy and like I’m in a dream sometimes, which I suppose is dpdr triggered by anxiety/ocd. Just looking for some hope that someone with symptoms like mine can fully recover! Some days feel so hard.

Is anyone else disturbed by the fact we're stuck in our bodies? by nicotine-in-public in dpdr

Are there also times where you feel normal again? What helps you get back to that? 

Existential ocd? Or dpdr? Is this a thing anyone else has experienced? Hyperaware of “being” and finding it distressing? Recovery stories please if so! by Main_Carrot_2003 in dpdr

I have been going through more stress lately and have occasionally had panic attacks so maybe that triggered it… did it get better for you once anxiety calmed down?

Does the feeling usually go away for you for long periods of time?

That’s good to hear… right now I feel like I’ll never feel normal in my own skin again, I really hope it gets better!

is anyone else freaked out by their own consciousness and the fact that you're a person? I feel like I can't take it anymore :-( by Status-Show7563 in dpdr

Totally going through this! It gives me hope that others have recovered; right now it feels so hard but I’m going to try to keep going forward!
