TIPS TO KEEP A "NORMAL" LIFE TO RECOVERY

The recovery is likely to take some time, usually some months or even years. If you are actively working for a while every day you will be able to reduce this time considerably.

You must know that although YOU see everything weird, confused and do not know very well that you want or where you are going, the rest of the people around you , your family, your friends, your fellows at school or work will not notice necessarily a significant change in your behavior .

It is true that in the first days or months suffering DP / DR is difficult to maintain a high level of concentration to perform your tasks as before.

TIPS:

• Do not obsess over a quick return to normality . Enjoy your night's sleep. Rest . Reflect, seek the reasons brought you to derealization and take measures to remove it. Please, no depression is allowed.



1. As far as possible your life should continue normally . Certainly, sometimes you will desire not seeing anyone, locking yourself in your room, listening to music or staying in bed. Ok. Do it occasionally to remove accumulated tension.
2. Try not to stay at home and go back to school, college, university, job, etc ... Although each case may be different, you may miss a year of study or have to be ordered off work.
3. Share your problem with family. Tell the symptoms of DP / DR and asking for your support and understanding. Tell them that there are many cases like yours, even there are Facebook groups or blogs like this that you are reading.
4. Even if you don't think so, in this "automatic" state, you can do many tasks as before. Just do not knowing how you've been able to do, but you will.   A well known example is the normal absorption experienced by drivers at the wheel of a car when they are thinking about their personal problems, job, or when talking on the mobile phone. They are able to drive automatically, stopping at red lights and find their way home. When the driver returns to reality, is a bit afraid of how he could do it if he didn't pay any conscious attention to the road.
5. Usually it is good going out with friends and socializing . But maybe you can feel uncomfortable because of your DP disorder. Not get obsessed with it . It's very interesting to meet old friends from the past, when you were ok to share memories with them. You are THE SAME PERSON.
6. Do the exercises proposed in the blog daily. Reserve at least 1/2 hour a day for your recovery. The rest of the day, well, you just go and do things as you can.

REMEMBER THAT THIS PROCESS MAY TAKE SOME TIME !, so do not rush. This has a solution and soon you will be the same again.
