Spriggy,
I witnessed my father suddenly pass away when I was 7 years old. At approx 11 I developed depersonalization disorder, due to the total repressed memory of watching my father die. I finally got help when I was about 30 years old for the DD(I know! what was I waiting for!). Anyway, I had a major, psychological breakthrough about 3 months into therapy. That was over 8 years ago. Now my DD is background noise, but I live with constant dreaming (about my childhood for the most part), flashbacks, anxiety and treatment resistent depression. I've tried a lot of meds; medical science has been one big pile of crap in my case. But I haven't tried everything yet, so the search is still on.
Anyway, enough about me, what is your story?
Tom
