I Suffer From DPDR Disorder 24/7 And I Want People To Know How It Feels (New Pics)
My name is Lulu and I am a 26-year-old living in Switzerland. I create comics that describe how it’s like to live with DPDR. I’ve previously shared my experience on Bored Panda.
Depersonalization/Derealization is not a rare disorder but it’s not very well known! Sufferers often feel alone because the symptoms they experience are weird and difficult to describe.
DPDR can be a diagnosis on its own as far as I know but very often it‘s also a symptom of another mental disorder such as Anxiety, Depression, Dissociative disorder.
The causes of DPDR are mostly smoking weed, trauma and mental illness. Sometimes even people with migraine experience DPDR.
For me DPDR is constant. It’s a 24/7 thing and here is how it feels.

I wonder if we all dont have bouts of this, but since it doesnt affect our lives negatively or not all that much it's not classified as a disorder. (Most mental disorders have to have a crippling negative effect that hinders normal functions for it to be classified as such.) For all I know from my own experience , I can sometimes look in a mirror and get the idea that Im looking at both the image in the mirror and outside of the real person standing there wondering at it as the feeling of existance. Or when someone calls my name, I can think that the sound quantifies someone and dont connect it with myself. It doesnt happen all that often, but I think it's part of the human experience. But what do i know? I love these images and get how it must be to live with this disorder. Keep working throught it!
thank you for your comment. let me clear something dpdr is very crippling! Specialy the first time you have it. i have sufferd from dpdr for nearly 4 years now but the first year i had this, and i had no idea what was going on it was crippling. Dpdr causes serious panicattacks and a lot of anxiety. And it affects our daily life and hinders a normal function. this comic right here is only to show that lil one side ( i called it „the string“)... if you like to know more go check out my other dpdr post 😊
