Yes, that's exactly how I feel, SoupDragon. When I'm not thinking about it, I don't notice it. It's just... me.

I've read likewise, but I've also read things on the contrary. I've heard certain anti-psychotic drugs work (but I'm not keen on pursuing that avenue), that it "goes away" after a while (I remember reading someone say that they had it for 5 years and it eventually just stopped, though he/she didn't specify why; could have been an upturn in their life, or something) and that CBT and certain anxiety-management treatments can be useful.

I'm really interested in watching the film Numb with Matthew Perry. In it, he suffers DP (close enough) and struggles to come to terms with it as he visits doctors, psychiatrists and therapists who never give him in any solid answers. Check out the trailer on .
