I really appreciate the initial post explaining the differences between depersonalization & dissociaitive disorders. It came at a time when I was trying to figure out what was happeneing to me, which fits into depersonalization.

I read a lot of things which stike me as pretty outrageous, but I don't comment. However, I'm not going to stop myself from having this reaction, b/c I'm horrified that some people on this thread are actually perpetuating demonic possession. People, it's 2010!!! You are basing this on religious beliefs, which are not facts. Science is fact, not religion. Religion can be a good thing if it helps one to get through a hardship, although spirituality can do the same. But religion isn't a good thing if it stifles scientific progression & further stigmatizes mental illness & everyone's perceptions of it. And, I know this is going to come as a stab in the dark to some of you, but... not everyone is a Christian.
PEACE!
