Hi I just recently found this website and to say the least I am fascinated. I have spent the greater portion of the last 2 years of my life, examining, reading, studying, analyzing, and gathering information as to why I feel the way I do or don’t in the case. It has given me tremendous […]
This is my story, while it is very similar, it is different as well. I am a 21 (22 in Jan.) yr. old female. I was never abused growing up, but I did experiment with drugs. But that has been a while ago. In high school I smoked pot a lot, but then quit when […]
In high school, I had used marijuana, alcohol and LSD for a period of 2 months. I quit drugs but occasionally drank alcohol with no adverse effects. After high school I got a fulltime job in an auto parts factory and really enjoyed the financial freedom. A couple of years later I started to feel […]
Hi, my name is Alex, I’m 28 and this is my experience with DP. About 18 months ago while at work something changed inside my brain. It was instantaneous, I looked around and everything seemed different, like nothing was real, like I was in a dream or a movie or under the influence of drugs, […]
This has turned into more of a life story… But I guess the person’s history is crucial to understanding the person. I’m not sure when exactly this depersonalization thing came on, and what caused it. If I had to guess I’d say it was a combination of an overwhelming feeling of inferiority mixed with an […]
oh my how long has it been. I am 48 years old, yes 48 years old and I have dealt with this for that many years. At times I feel so far away from myself, but then I think who am I. I am floating around up there looking down threw the clouds. Floating, floating…..I […]

The fan blowing on my feet is the only comfort I can feel at this moment. The flannel sheets are soft on my skin, my pillow is tucked under me in just the right places, but I still can’t feel completely at ease.I can stare at the closet door all night long wondering why I […]
Everything seems unreal My Self has disappeared I feel like a robot My thoughts seem strange My mind feels detached from my body The world seems foreign and unfamiliar I can’t feel anything My head feels hollow I think I’m going crazy My body seems weird I don’t recognize myself in the mirror I am […]
Hi my name is Christian and I have been suffering from DPD since 1991 when I was sixteen I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and underwent 6 months of Chemotherapy. About a week after the first treatment I woke in the morning and I felt like I was having an out of body experience. […]
Hi, I’m Patrick. I’m 36 and I’ve felt “not here” since I was about 9 or 10. I can remember the exact moment the feeling came on, and the cause appears to have nothing to do with drugs or abuse, as related by some of the others here, but rather a kind of mental experiment I then […]
Familiar surroundings, become strange places. I could see my usual self-change. I become this person that I knew it wasn’t, me- all together a different persona. This person didn’t care about anything, and was fun to be with. This persona was Fearless, and everyone in school liked who ever this was. This feeling gave me […]
