advice
my friend was just diagnosed with depersonalization. does anyone have it or know someone close to them who does? What can you tell me about it? What is it like to have it? Was it easy for you to learn to cope, or very difficult? What triggered your most severe symptoms? How can I help my friend when she returns from the clinic? While she's in the clinic? Is there anything I should or shouldn't say or do? Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thank you :)
A frightening and/or disturbing experience of not being within one's own body or of being in immediate danger of vanishing/separating from reality often described as the sensation of living inside a dream. Although cognitive functioning remains intact, the sufferers feel disconnected from their sense of self and often interpret it "as if I am losing my mind."
" My hands feel like they're made of paper, or like they belong to someone else." "My own face in a mirror seems foreign, like I have never really seen it before this moment..." "I cannot feel my body, not truly numb, but it is as if I have disappeared into myself, beyond my own flesh and blood..." "Sometimes I literally wonder if I am already dead and existing as a ghost...it feels like my soul is trying to leave its shell and I am fighting with all my strength to hold it inside this body. I don't know if I'm dreaming or awake; I must be going insane, to feel my self wafting away, I know it is only a matter of time..."
Namaste!
