> > It is such a good feeling to find out that others have these feelings too. I have struggled with this 'spaced out' feeling as long as I can remember. I am 29. Shellie, that article you posted really helped me understand what's going on. The only problem I have is that I can't seem to recall any type of childhood trauma. I have had accidents and such (broken bones, stiches to my forehead) but nothing that in my views would be considered tramatic. Can these feelings come from something else? Thanks to all.
> I dont know I was date raped when I was 17 but I remember it and alot of things from when your young you just can't remember -hmmm i dont know?? I haven't had really bad things happen but I like you am struggling -all of us together will get through it :0) I will support you in anyway possible -all of you Goodluck:0) HOpeB
I have to agree with Noa -this isn't always trauma from what I hear and read it always mentions trauma and also MPD... before having depersonalization and derealization I did not think that MPD was real.. while I do not have MPD I do believe that anything can happen with your mind -after all alot of people wouldnt believe this feeling after all how do describe it to someone who doesn't have it -no way to really. I went to a psychiatrist when these symtoms first started (and were constant- I couldn't even look at my food for wondering is it real what is it -questioning everything) I went to doc tho and I was a basket case I cried the whole time told him exactly what was happening and felt like I was sinking in the pattern of his oriental rug the more i talked-- he said it's trauma etc. and we need to go through it - ugh! Noway... I have been to tens ofpsychs my 27years and been diagnosed and prescribed to death -who really knows??
Anyhow, I am just waiting for the next really bad bout to seek help again as usual--- right now it is taking a rest it's there but not all the time-- (this happens some with me -it is there then I think it is gone almost-- then it happens again and constant a while )
Take care and keep posting -the support is tremendous-- and by support I just mean contact of any sort :0)
Love HopeB
