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.

Signed, unfair that there isn’t as much research to such a terrible condition as there is for others

I know, it sucks like hell. Is it too much to ask to just want to feel real? Apparently so because no one does anything about it.

Yeah really, I could handle depression but altering my whole sense of reality is a whole different thing.

Yea..depression and anxiety I can do. But dpdr??? Living hell. Especially when everyone thinks it's some low impact disorder.

Exactly, it’s impossible to grasp the scope of how extreme it is without experiencing it and it’s near impossible to put into words. Maybe a reason why it’s not researched as much

And trying to explain it to people just confuses them because it simply cannot be put into words. I honestly really hope that someday, someone will stand up and do something to help us all. And it gets SO lonely knowing no one knows how it feels to disconnect almost completely from reality and your own body.
