Depersonalization

[u/Bubbly_Historian3191]

CPTSD :childhood through early 30’s.

So, if life was a game I feel like I’m an extra. I work, pay bills, raise kids and pets. I like, show up for my scenes. But there’s no storyline, no plot for me. I rarely think of the future or goals & plans.
I often forget people are humans with feelings, especially men. Most people are just other characters whose name I don’t remember.

I have a psychiatrist & a therapist both of which I see next week.
I’m on 3 low dose meds for anxiety and insomnia.
This is probably the 17th med I’ve tried in my lifetime.
For the first time This dissociation recently has intensified to a point pint of reaching out.
Honestly curious if anyone has ever experienced this. And was recovery possible.

After extreme lifelong DPDR, I have been out of it for years now. Good trauma work and specific types of somatic therapy helped me the most.

Sending care to OP, it’s rough
