I have not been clinically diagnosed with anything, which may at this point invalidate my claim, but I know I’ve got the “something” those of us with this condition experience. Corresponding with accounts I’ve read from others, some of us develop this identity (ha) after we come to perceive the human existence as one devoid […]

When I was 12, I smoked pot; did meth, drank pretty much, did whatever I could get a hold of drug and alcohol wise, then one night when I was 16, I smoked a joint and got this weird feeling in my head; I thought that my husband might have poisoned me. So I went […]

As many of you, I really think that writing this letter will make me feel better. For 5 years I have been diagnosed with phobias, anxiety and panic attacks. I used to be pretty normal child, hyperactive, but OK. Then suddenly it came. First, fear of cardiovascular disease, then the worst fear of all, fear […]

I don’t really know where to start. Before getting online and “searching” I had no idea that there were so many other people who felt the same way I did. Like many others I have never been officially diagnosed with depersonalization, but reading what others have described, symptoms exactly like my own, I don’t know […]

As with so many of you I can’t believe there’s actually anyone else who feels the things I do and that these feelings have a name —Depersonalization Disorder I first heard about it last night while I was researching Paxil on the net.

I have suffered from DP all of my life. When I was a child I would just space out and see all of these lights and colors. I never liked being around other children because they seemed far too connected to their physical form and physical movements than I was. I enjoyed sitting by myself […]

I’m 31 years old. I am just baffled right now. I have had this condition for 5 years now, and didn’t even know it. I was reading a book called healing fear and it mentioned something about depersonalization disorder. Not knowing what that was I looked it up on line. Well, I guess I am […]

The first time I suffered from DP was four months following the birth of my first child. It was a horrible experience. I thought I was losing my mind. I even considered suicide. After confiding in my mother I was sent to a psychologist. The psychologist later sent me to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist diagnosed […]

Amazing thing the internet, one day I’m trapped in my own private hell thinking I was the only one on earth with this horrendous condition, now by some miracle I find this site. I have been suffering from chronic depersonalization for the past 5 years and I can only say that I don’t think there […]

When I was born nearly 48 years ago I suffered from a birth defect known as Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). Due to a malformed diaphragm my stomach and intestines went up into my chest cavity and displaced my heart and lungs to the left hand side. I was a dark blue when I was delivered […]
