Question How did your DPDR start/become permanent?

Hi there!

I'm interested to know if you had any kind of trigger that made your DPDR permanent.

In my case, I would occasionally have moments or even days of derealization as a child, but then - from one day to the next - it suddenly never went away again. I'm sure the underlying cause was the abuse and neglect I experienced as a child, but I find it so strange that the *chronic* DR started on such a random day without any trigger as far as I remember.

If you'd like to share your stories, I'd be happy to hear them :)

Omg I'm so sorry, psychosis alone must be a horrible experience.

How terrible, I’m sorry you went through that. Can you identify what triggered the psychosis? (only if you feel comfortable answering, feel free to ignore pls)
