The best thing for dp is to "engage"
Get "tuned into" something.
Thats how it goes away for me, but the problem is I'm not always in the mood to try to "engage" in something.
Do you ever feel like your awareness is too high?
I heard dp effects your nervous system.
And it makes it worse when i think about how i can go on another minute with this being aware, and it seems like i'm in other words juat saying "living" cause isnt that waht awareness is? Existing? Sounds hard to do, but i know, no matter how deep my thoughts talk me out of it, that once in a blue moon, i have been content and wanting to go on in life. I have been from dp and back and back again.

Wow, you guys....THanks so much for all these posts because I can TOTALLY relate! Do you guys have alllll sorts of existential thoughts where it seems to weird that you're you, and what are you doing in this body, why are you alive now, what does it mean to be alive, what is the point of all of this, TRAPPED in this body, etc. etc. Suddenly it feels like it will NEVER feel normal again. I mean, I've been in this body and mind for 25 years, why does it suddenly seem weird to me now?

hey guys!!...
i am sooo happy that u brought this up qt....that is actually one of the things that sets off my anxiety. sometimes i feel like how u guys said like my soul is stuck in this body in this life and im really afraid of it. sometimes i feel awkward like life is awkward and i feel weird being here and like i wanna juss jump out of myself. and i get soo scared thinkin about getting older and eventually coming to the point were im goin to be scared of being very very old....and if im scared now wen i get to be in my 80's how am i going to deal with that??....i dunno ...but i can relate to u guys. i feel that way often but automatically try to push it out of my head and do or think of something else.its soo scaryy!!

15 years????? Have you been getting treatment for your anxiety and/or panic? There is absolutely no reason, from what I have learned, that if you have conquered your anxiety/panic, you should still be suffering from this.

Am I wrong?

Ok I'm bumping this post up for those of you who may have this but don't know what it is, and if others can relate.
I just found out that someone had it for 20 years, without knowing what it was.
So I'm going to try and give light to anyone who may be confused about why they are feeling the way they are feeling, and finally have an answer.
I may just create another post too for any oher condtions where some may have no answer to.

I experience this all the time - I describe it as kind of surreal or dream state almost. It triggers a lot of my attacks! I feel also that I don't remember things as well because of it. It truly is annoying and am hoping that this program will help with it.

Amy- The problem you only need to take care of is the anxiety. Once thats overcome then the rest automaticaly go away,because the anxiety is like the mother ship. I call anxiety a tree and everything else is branched out from it.
Cut the tree down and what happens?

I have this feeling all the time and it makes me feel like I am in a dream or walking on clouds and that is the only way that I know to describe it. I sometimes feel as if I cannot move my legs and that my body is just so heavy. I start to question myself whether or not I am even existing and it is a very scary feeling for me. I don't have panic attacks that often but I just feel fear inside all the time. We all can get through this and beings we all seem to have alot of the same feelings we shouldn't be stressing that it is something more serious because like I said we all experience it. It must be a symptom of anxiety. Take care and god bless.
