Floating in numb oblivion

Postby abovetheclouds » Mon Jan 06, 2014 11:25 pm

I've had DPD for 4.5 f***ing years! I got it when I smoked weed the first time at age 16 and I'll be 21 next week. I am just floating in a fog. How is anyone supposed to enjoy life this way? I can't feel anything. I can't sense the passage of time. It's bulls**t. I feel like a mind without a body and like I'm stuck watching a really bad movie. The only thing I enjoy is sleep except when I have dreams about DP. I overthink everything. What the hell do I do to feel real and normal again? I'm a ghost.

I can not help you. I can only say that I feel the same. Sometimes it's so strong I can not control my own actions, and sometimes things are normal, but I'm often somewhere in between. I write (when I'm not too "blocked" to do it) and after that I feel better, maybe that might help you as well. Anyhow, hold on. Maybe it gets better with time. :) At least, we don't have to feel pain or something... my shrink told me that's how 80% of girls in prisons say they feel... OK, I don't really know what to say, I just feel sorry for you and understand you and hope you get better... :) :)
