Has anyone had depersonalization andderealization for a long time and then recovered?! I've had it for 14 months so far... My trigger was anxiety. I'm 17, going into my senior year in high school... I want it gone. I've had this since the end of my sophomore year. SO SCARED

Are you seeing a Doctor and taking meds?

Yes I am

The meds are not helping you?

I'm currently on Zoloft, my anxiety went down A LOT and I haven't had any panic attacks in a year. I'm just stuck with these dreamlike and unreal sensations 24/7

Hey, this is me! I've had it for a year. It BEGAN as derealizaton and then turned INTO Depersonalization. I too am 17. The ONLY way to get dp gone is to not worry over it. It's a defense mechanism your brain activates to protect you from stress. The more you stress, though, the more it hangs around. Believe me, I understand. But you have to see it for what it is so it loses the element of fear. I've had it for 24/7 and it took MONTHS to learn to not be scared of it. But I still have it because I'm still stressed by OTHER stuff. But I know as I address that, this will go away. Same for you. Word of advice: don't Google. DONT. Take it from someone who has done so and spent additional months freaking out when it wasn't necessary.

You've gotten some good replies!! I know that helps. I go through a lot of what you go through, and I finally just 'gave up' and thought..."OK...this is me, too" so just get on with it... There are times when I SOOOOO miss my old regular self. I just have to trust that day will come. Sending you love and a hug. Take care.

That day will come this can't last forever when life is so fleeting!!! Xx
