Derealization Recovery Update!
I have considered myself cured for some time now, but a few days ago I noticed something. Yet another symptom has left me, one that I got so used to, I did not really notice it before it left me. The symptom that left me was the chest thightness. It really felt like a big knot being untied, and no matter how hard I try, I can not feel anxious anymore.
I also want to note that on your way to wellness, you will most likely experience setbacks in your curing progress. I.e, you are feeling somewhat great a few days, and then suddenly you feel like you are back to “page 1″. This is normal, and part of the healing.
Diet tip: I usually eat alot of junk food, but back in august I got a recommendation from my acupuncurist on my eating habits. I then went a month without eating any dairy products, or wheat products. This was the month where I healed the most.

hey there, my names matthew. im 19 years old and am ALMOST through this. I really appreciate you putting your sotry on the internet for everyone, it was really nice to read a success story for a change rather than the doom and gloom stories. When this has all cleared up for me i intend to do the same to help show people that there is a way through this and it truely is only temporary. Im up to around my 3 month of both DR and DP but after accepting it and moving on i have noticed a huge reduction in my symptoms (mostly DP). Thanks alot for putting the time into this blog and i hope you realise how helpful it is to me to know that it is possible to completely beat this.
thanks!
like Matthew Roberts here, i am also 19. this started with a panic attack and it grew from there. i then began to feel DR. reading your story really made me feel like there IS a light at the end of this tunnel. there are times when i really feel DR and DP but i just have to realize this is all from anxiety. thank you for actually making this a website about getting over this instead of other websites talking about the horrors of DP and DR. any other advice i can go by whenever i start to feel DR and DP again? thanks, im really starting to feel a lot better.
