It's sort of like a defense mechanism to prevent any more stimulus from wreaking havoc on your body, but the consequence is that numbness or disconnect from reality. Since running EHPRA I've gradually become more connected, but I still have my moments.
I had times in the past where I would wonder if I had DP or DR. Now, I think it's just me emotionally disconnecting myself from my surroundings, because I am basically only with my sister and mom all day. How do you know if you have DP? I know I don't have DR because that's even more severe, but I questioned about whether or not I had DP in the past. I don't think I do, but I sometimes get paranoid and wonder what if I've had it for the longest time, and just didn't know?
