WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? - Understanding the DP/DR disorder

If you have this disorder and want to know what works differently in you, this is your post:

A person suffering DP / DR is a person who has suffered prolonged stress, trauma, anxiety or lasting brain alteration produced for example by use of drugs that led to disconnect suddenly "somewhat" from reality .


What is not going well in our mind?

For any of the reasons listed above:
  • 1) We access poorly our perceptual memories / memory  (Derealization)
For example: do not understand your hands, clock times mean nothing, your house does not seem your house, is no longer familiar, you see everything differently, you feel bad anywhere, prefering to close your eyes, ...



  • 2) We have difficulty incorporating the information that comes to us by way of our personality, ourself, our personal history . (depersonalization)
For example, nothing excites us, the more people there are around more confused and missing we feel, we have lost our interests and hobbies or no longer enjoyed them, asking ourselves who we are, why do we exist, with whom we interact, why we do things, etc ...
Somehow it is a disorder related to the correct perception of the real world and its meaning for us. It affects our consciousness and the link that exists with our emotions. It affects to our MYSELF. To that person you can see in the mirror.
Unable to compare with the past
We feel we have lost the reference!

The real drama of this disorder is that it is not simply reversible over time. A certain neuronal circuitry of the brain (the great unknown) has stopped working properly and creates the unpleasant feeling confused, upset, not understanding the world, not knowing who we are and raised important issues.
Any questions?
Let me help!
