I am a registered nurse and have been for the last five years. The DP started when I was about 19 years old some where around there. I don’t want to make this a long and boring story because people tend not to want to read everyone else’s “boring” problem (smile). Anyway, some how I […]
Hello. My name is Randy. I want to share my story with you. I don’t know whether or not I have DP, but after reading these stories I suspect that I do. So far, I’ve been diagnosed with major depression (severe, recurrent) and PTSD resulting from a horrific experience of rape and humiliation during my […]
Hello, I’m Jonathan, 20 years old, and I live in Massachusetts. I’ve read some of these stories and noticed that a lot of people get DP from drug usage or a traumatic experience. I firmly believe I’ve had mine since birth, or at least- as far back as I can remember. My father has DP, my […]
I’ve experienced Derealization since I was a kid – back then it didn’t cause me a great deal of panic, I didn’t worry about it and it passed. As an adult, I’ve experienced this odd sensation at times of great stress in my life. When I was 28, I had a period of major depression that […]
After reading these stories I feel that I really need to post also so that I may also help. Personally I’ve never received an official diagnosis of Depersonalization. I’m currently 31. For me it starts as early as I can remember. The first real depersonalization thing that ever happened to me was an out of […]
I’m really pleased that I have found a site where people can submit their stories re: depersonalization. I don’t mind using my real name and would be pleased to receive Emails. I am 53 yrs old and have been depersonalized since I was 19 yrs old. I think the cause of it began when I was […]
Finding this website has been a huge relief for me. For the longest time now I was convinced that I may have a brain tumor or something; perhaps not. I have been seeing a psychiatrist for some time. She prescribed me Zoloft which I have been on for a little over a year. It has […]
Self No-Self Depersonalization? What’s that? I’m now 40 and have been in the helping profession since my early 20’s. I’ve read every diagnostic code there is and just now came to realize that depersonalization has always been the underlying issue in my life. I cannot remember a time in my life where this diagnosis did […]
I am 25 years old, and have suffered anxiety, panic attacks, depression and DP since I was about 15 years old. My panic attacks started when I was 15, after an experience with pot.After smoking with a friend, I began to “freak out”. I had never felt like this before. I felt as if I […]
Hello My name is Anna I’m gone, not here, don’t want to I guess, too tired sad. I cannot speak, cannot relate, cannot use words. There are no words for me, I cannot. cannot….I’m getting lost. Am I crazy? Will I end up in a loony bin? My body is not mine. I’m an actor […]
Where to begin my story of DP which has spanned roughly 35 yrs. I’m 42 and I believe my first episode occurred when I was pre-teen. I remember it vividly. Sitting around with my family playing SORRY in what I recall as a very ordinary night. Suddenly a wave of “unrealness” swept over me and […]
When I first found this site, I did not know whether I wanted to view or contribute to it because each of your stories causes me to start panicking a little. But I suppose I find solace in that fact that I am not alone, and if I can provide that for someone else, then […]
