Most of my adult life I've suffered from DPDR. In recent years I've been able to get somewhat of a handle on it.

While I never pinned down the cause exactly, my talk therapist and I came to the realization that some meals would trigger it. Usually those meals were obviously bad for my health, so I started avoiding them.

Why I commented. DPDR is in the same box as anxiety and, yeah, I could literally feel this weird pressure in my head. An actual physical sensation. Seems like we had different cause and side effects but it's so good to read there's someone else out there.

Glad you found something that worked for you. There's so much we don't know about our bodies.
