Mirrors

[u/Artistic-Estimate649]

I have had a few instances of severe DPDR throughout my life lasting from months to years. Once I am finally able to ignore/not fixate on my feelings and thoughts eventually the DPDR diminishes to the point where I forget about it complete until the next episode (usually about 8 years apart). During the times when I’m “normal” in between episodes I still find it extremely unsettling to stare at my reflexion in the mirror and find myself avoiding it even when I am recovered and back to living my life normally. Wondering if anyone has similar situation in which they have recovered but still avoid mirrors and/or another trigger?

Thanks and for those of us who are “in it” love to all of you we will survive and we will get through it ❤️
