    I understand how you are feeling right now. I’ve been there before. I want to tell you that you are going to be fine.

    Trust me, even though right now you might be on the edge of your being, feeling nervous and in a state of confusion, know that this will all pass over time.

    You are not going to lose your mind, you are not going insane, you are not going to die, you are not going to harm yourself or others. That is just your mind talking. This is what I wanted to hear when I was in the middle of the DP/DR storm, and I hope it brings comfort to you when you read it.

    When you are in a state of extreme stress and panic, your cognition (the process of thinking) changes. Once the stress levels are back to normal, your thoughts will be too. You will have your personality back.

    In fact, you will emerge from this stronger than you were before.

    Accept these feelings without trying to resist them. You don’t have to do anything special to accept something: you just have to do nothing. That probably goes against the grain of what you are thinking right now. You may feel the need to battle this DP/DR demon, or put up a fight to get rid of your anxiety, but those efforts are always in vain. You need to understand that you are having a normal reaction to the high level of stress that you are experiencing in your life. DP/DR is serving as a protective layer against the incredible stress you are feeling, some of which can arise out of the depersonalization itself. It is not a perfect mechanism, but it is how our brains are wired… …these words are from a guy who recovered from DP/DR

    At CAMH I was assaulted by their nurses, and made fun of by regular staff. They are bullies who enjoy humiliating people because they have unchecked power. CAMH is a bad "hospital" with a lot of very bad employees enjoying their unchecked power. Please do NOT donate to CAMH. If you donate to CAMH, then you support bullying and the humiliation of helpless patients.

    Respect to Dr itepu on his YouTube channel who cured my Genital Herpes virus with his herbal medication which I bought from him. I also encourage anyone who suffers from Herpes virus to contact him.

    Omg so true, I have bpd and therefore am disabled. Yet I am belittled for my struggles not helped. They are doing the same as kicking someone who has fallen out of the wheelchair. Fuck life

    Simplistic bullshit which serves the business interests of the mental health and pharmaceutical industries. People hurt because life is hard. The mental health people cannot change or alter this fact. All they can do is to sell you therapy hours and prescription drugs which do more harm than good.

    My husband and I were in a work related car accident, developed panic/anxiety disorder with agoraphobia… this has been horrific. We wouldn't wish this on anybody.

    “Their conduct is certainly VERY ODD. Any Dress Reformer can order a pair of trousers and put them on in the privacy of her own room—PROVIDED THERE ARE NO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO ARE ADDICTED TO FITS IN CASE OF SUDDEN FRIGHT.”—Editorial, “A Deep Laid Conspiracy,” New York Times, September 5, 1876, page 5. We need less, not more "mental health!"

    I am 36.
    BPD, Clinical Depression, ADHD, and Generalized Anxiety.
    Symptomatic since age 8 or 9.
    I am a husband.
    I am a father of 4.
    I own a home.
    I am the main income earner for my family.
    I struggle with staying on task.
    I'm very self aware of my ADHD shortcomings.
    I judge myself harshly for being how I am.
    I hate myself regularly for not being able to overcome everything with ease.
    I am confident that my life will end by my own hand someday, and I'm rather "okay" with this.

    It doesn't go away.
    It takes constant effort.
    I get tired of the effort.
    People get frustrated with me because I process information differently, and this helps fuel my self hate.
    I am fully aware of the pain my own self hatred gives to me, and I justify doing this as "I deserve it", and if I reach a point where I can't handle it anymore (just can't stand up to myself anymore and justify my continued existence) then I must be all done here.
