hi, i have recently developed dp/dr. it’s lasted heavily for about a month now. i’m doing my best to manage my anxiety, stress & trauma. and do all the different things to help. im in therapy & just started an ssri. still, the “unreal” feeling is sometimes unbearable. it’s so scary and sometimes hard to not get away from no matter what i do. just want to reach out to others for any kind of advice on this.

I haven’t really developed any good techniques other than waiting it out or have a friend gently remind me of what is real and what isn’t. but please know you’re not alone and you can get through this!
