Thats good advice. This usually happens to me when I am driving and stopped at a stoplight. I try to grab the steering wheel as tightly as possible and try my best to listen to the passenger talking so I can stay in the moment. It's hard though.

> I've had the problem for years although its more depersonalization in the sense that its more me thats not me rather than the world around me thats not real. It makes me fells as if I'm about a foot behind myself ... a little higher as well and I'm watching an automaton go about ... rather than crontrolling it.

What seems to help me is when an episode is about to start or if I feel as though its about to start I just grab something : a ball, a pen, a book, my desk, whatever ... and I squeeze it really hard ... until the muscles in my hand hurt. The pain sort of keeps me there and its not as dangerous as SI,
