Anyone else have Depersonalization Disorder?

[MinneapolisMatt]

Hi, my name is Matt, I'm 29, and you can *probably* guess where I live. ;)

I'm just looking to see if anyone out there also struggles with depersonalization disorder. I've had this since 1998, and I've been in a bit of a rough patch right now.

Long story short: several different psychiatrists, misdiagnosed a bunch of times, been on a few different meds, they all stopped working at some point, am currently on no meds. I am looking for a different psychiatrist in my area that may have some more knowledge in depersonalization disorder. (Not a solicitation for medical advice LOL! Just letting you all know where I'm at.)

Anyway, I've never posted in this forum before, but I finally got the courage to do so tonight. I felt it was time I did, because I wanted to thank all of you for your candor in the many different threads here. It's really helped me to know I'm not the only one struggling.

By the way, here are a couple of very good links that explain depersonalization disorder EXTREMELY well, in case you are interested. (And maybe they will help someone else like they have helped me.)
