I've had all sorts of professional and menial jobs from engineer in Air Force to cemetery worker to office cleaner to library book shelver. I've taken a lot of abuse by all sorts of people (mental health professionals, classmates, roommates, co-workers, strangers, etc.) since 14 because of the way I am and that burns inside of me.
So how does a person get treatment for depersonalized dissociation?

your question...how does a person get treatment for depersonalized dissociation...
here in NY any mental health treatment provider can treat you. treatment for depersonalization problems here in NY is ....therapy to learn how to re ground yourself back out of your dissociation symptoms and learn about what triggers your depersonalization symptoms so that you can control it on your own using grounding, relaxation, medications, yoga or any other treatments depending upon what activates (triggers) your symptoms.
your treatment providers (medical doctor, therapist or psychiatrist) can help you.
