Has anyone stayed in a psychiatric hospital for your DP/DR? I’m struggling 24/7 from the moment I open my eyes until I go to bed.. it plays tricks with me and it’s hard to tell anymore if I’m like in psychosis.

      @FairMoonLady I feel the same way! Like I'm going to lose my mind and I'm out of control! I know it's real but I feel so off and it makes anxiety 10x worse. It comes out of nowhere!

      Yes! I didn’t realize it was dpd/drd at the time, but I was in inpatient and residential care centers for a while a few years ago. Definitely lots of pros and cons, and it really depends on the facility/staff - but it can be healing (or at least a learning/growth experience)! Would be happy to message you about it if you’re still interested :))

      Well from my understanding if you don’t have an awareness of what’s real or not real you could be entering a transition to psychosis. That’s what I read on the internet. Just don’t get too many incentives in and try to keep your day as minimal as possible

      No but sometimes I feel terrified it's going to happen. My dr/dp gets so bad sometimes and idk what to do and I think I should be hospitalized at times. But it only just scares me even more
