I also suffer from lots of depersonalization and derealization and talking about it in therapy has helped. I believe it is a necessary step to move forward, and I have learned strategies to help myself stay focused. Sometimes therapy is painful. It's not pleasant, but it's part of the process of healing, especially from past trauma.

Thanks DragonFly2 and SunAngel. Looks like most of you are saying the same thing but offering different options. This one would never have crossed my mind. When he fist told me the appointment would be three weeks I thought that it would be too soon. However now I cant get this out of my head. I stopped sleeping. This is staying on my mind more than I thought it would. Thanks for the post and I appreciate it.
