Introduction

     Hi everybody and welcome to my blog! I started this blog to share my journey with others who may be experiencing the same things I’m going through and also to help myself to process and heal. If you also suffer from depersonalization and/or derealization disorder or dissociation, I hope this blog helps you to realize that you are not alone (trust me, I know all too well that it can certainly feel like it!).

     I’ve recently started going to therapy and it really does seem to help. I’ve learned that writing things down really seems to help me, as I tend to process better by myself. I need my therapist as well, however, to guide me along this journey back to the real world and to provide me with the tools I need to get there. This being the case, I will continue on this path to recovery by writing and attending therapy regularly. Please do not be ashamed or scared to get mental help. Where I come from, people don’t really get help for their mental health issues and it was really hard for me to overcome the fear and the misconceptions I held about seeking psychological help. It has been over 10 years that I have been suffering with this condition and let me tell you, it feels so good to finally be able to express the way I am feeling to someone who actually understands it.

      If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!
