Still feeling a little detached?

Massive improvement in mood, anxiety and obsessive thoughts in the last few days, but still seem to keep thinking to myself that I'm abit out of it? If I hadn't read up on dp/dr I probably wouldn't feel this way tbh! Any ideas?
 
I will pm you a thread op just on my cp right now and out of battery but ill pm u asap
 
Thanks pal, although the reassurance really helps its so hard to deal with at the moment! Struggling! I'm usually so happy and joyful and now I find it hard to even laugh :( 8 months is Ages! I'm only at week 5!

Is there anything scientific behind these feelings!

What are you abstaining from? What were you using and abusing? More information would be helpful if you want better responses.
 
I believe the op took mdma which resulted in some of these effects if im not mistaken. I have messaged you OP about a thread from one of the former sufferers of dp/dr, his recovery as he mentioned on his thread was about eight months. Most of these symptoms we experience/experienced are anxiety related but what I can assure you is that with time, these symptoms will fade and you will be back to your self. As a former sufferer I can confirm that these symptoms are temporary and that the brain knows what it's doing so just relaxand take good care of yourself. Do the necessary steps to recover faster such as proper diet, exercise and CBT.
 
It comes in waves but is getting better day by day, just still a little freaky! Only appears if I think about it really! Thankyou for the message maya, your a good person! I have been eating well and skating lots which seems to be showing improvements! Just gotta stop thinking about it!

Feels like now that I know dp/dr it exists it will hang around!

Depends on the drug but too much gaba as a result of benzo abuse can certainly do it. I had bad dp, dr for an long time but now that I'm clean and through withdrawal its gone. Dp and Dr are often a means for the mind to cope with extreme stress or anxiety which can be caused by drug use or the lifestyle that goes with it.
 
Yeah I've been skating a lot to keep myself distracted! Cannot wait to feel back to myself!
 
It's been a hobby for years, was struggling to pick the board up last week, could not find joy in anything! Now I'm slowly starting to feel emotion and joy again! Is this a good sign?
 
Only symptom I really have left is I think I'm telling myself that I'm not 100% with my voice, but it's just over analysing I think!
 
^you will recover soon Cursedx you are getting there!! Thinking positive will get you there faster and patience don't you worry.
