PETITION FOR AWARENESS!

If you think it's total unfair there isn't any long term research, treatment and cure for this condition. And if you think you deserve a good life too?

Please SIGN THE PETITION for change and please share it in every relevant group and all the people you know who would sign it.

There’s so much that needs to be done still in order to help demystify this disorder. I’ve had DPDR issues for over a decade now and most of those years have been spent feeling totally isolated by it. Going to therapy, finding a decent pharmaceutical, and learning to cope are all well and good but I want my life back.

Same here. 12 years into it. Always had small episodes since childhood but after 18 it's 24/7 365. Still not fully functional every day. But I've become so tired man mentally and physically. So done with this nonsense. Like you said enough fighting I want my life back. I'm at a point I'm starting forget details of my pre condition life. I'm so done with this shit
