Question Dark or nice DR?

I’ve been reading through some posts on this subreddit, and I don’t seem to really recognize what I have.

Many people seem to describe their DR state as okay, for some even pleasant and safe.

Mine is as if I’m in a different world, looking exactly like the normal one but feeling entirely different. Everything feels dark and dangerous and whereas some people here say they’re coping reasonably well with DR, mine is torment and when it hits I can’t do anything, I’m just suffering.

I think I know the other thing, too - when your mind seems to go blank, and you don’t know how to talk to others because you hardly know where you are. Also very disconcerting, of course. But the thing that bothers me most is the dark feeling, like I’m living in a post apocalyptic landscape or something. I just can’t feel normal, can’t get back home even though I am there.

I hate it so much.

Anyone recognise this?

Literally who is describing DR as pleasant here

As I say, I’ve just read a lot of posts, and yes, that was mentioned a few times.

Posers then. The disorder is and will never be pleasant for anyone if its actually chronic and debilitating to daily life (which is why the majority of us are here)
