    hi so if your still struggling with this.. the way I got out of this was just listening to some music and just breathing learning to breath is the best thing you can do. it tells your brain your calm. I know it's scary and you just lack motivation to try anything I was the same. just deep breaths in the nose 7 seconds hold for 2 and out for 10 can try your own times etc. it's do able it happens every now and again for me. I know it seems Impossible but its not. you got this.

    hello how are you doing? i have also had DP/DR it tales time to go and also acceptance, also diverting your attention to something else rather than looking inwards (easier said than done i know) but as time passes and your interests are back on the outisde world the DP will ease.
