Getting worse since I've gone back to school

Dp and Dr have gotten worse since I've gone back to school, started at a small college and starting to feel it come back again.

It was still there before then but now it's more intense and

I'm starting to have memory problems again. I feel numb and I don't care about anything, everything feels fake i feel fake I feel like I'm outside my body and my hands don't belong to me.

I feel so unreal but I'm so use to it that it doesn't scare me anymore.


It's not going to get better it never has gotten better even when i was younger.

This sucks I' starting to fail my classes already but can't bring myself to give a crap...



Mini rant for the day thanks for reading if you can relate replies would help...though it looks like most questions on here don't get answers

It's nearly impossible finding a dp and dr site...there's only this one and one other one I know of.

Most people probably don't even know what dp and dr is...lucky them...

Lucky them indeed.

I'm very sorry to hear that classes are making things worse and can relate to this.
Stress in general seems to really trigger it heavily for me and I haven't been able to live up to my potential in career or in academia because even reading a passage can cause a flare up.

Recovery from this is long and hard, and sometimes needs outside events to dislodge things, to mature your understanding of it and to bring back context where it was lost.
Life basically needs to massage all the other parts of your brain until the tense bit releases.

I wish you the best of luck.

I know how much it sucks... Sometimes this $#%^ goes in cycles - you feel bad, than you feel better, then you feel bad again.. From what i can see - school has brought some extra pressure on you - being in public place and having responsibilities is tough when you struggle with DP or are in a not so good state of mind. It brings up anxiety and all the crap that goes with it.
I have been in similar situation (I suffered from DP when I was in university - i know how much it sucks), other people were and are in a similar situation.
You already know - there is no easy solution.
My solution was - trying actually give a crap about things. You don't feel like doing it at the moment (since with DP you don't really feel any connection to stuff or emotions, so why give a damn about things?) But them, lying in bed and trying to fall asleep (to no avail usually), it made me feel a tiny bit better - the though that today I actually made effort and tried to do something. This bit of happiness made me what to keep up giving a crap about stuff the next day. This is how I eventually broke the cycle
