Thank you! This was God sent help

I am Living In hell 2 years

I am Living In hell all 2 years even My doctor dont know What is wrong with me its hard 😢 i try even trapi nothing help untill now it hurts

Sounds are the mind, mind is the sounds. ;) Sounds are not outside, Sounds are inside, they are the mind. Everything is the mind, as the dreams. That's why why people can feel than everything is unreal. Because everything that we see is pictures created by mind, is the mind. Everything that we see, hear etc... is created by the mind. Scientists explain very well that.

Mine was triggered by a bad trip over 30 years ago. I've had chronic DP 24/7 ever since. Are you aware of the UK charity Unreal? Worth checking out. They have Zoom peer to peer support groups every fortnight.

Thanks for sharing your experience-it’s one of the most helpful videos I’ve come across. I’m about to start training for a 10K in October 2024. I’m 44, smoke, and the only exercise I get is walking my dogs. I’m skinny but have no endurance. My dream is to run a marathon one day.

My vision is the only symptom left now after 3 years of suffering, Things get better when we ignore dpdr,not focusing on it has saved me.

Let’s be clear, dpdr is not a disease it is protective mechanism of your brain and that means that we have brains. There is no cure but you can recover. Experimenting with meds is pointless and makes more harms than good. All this psycotherapists, psychiatrists and psychologists have no clue what dpdr is, they’re just big pharma agents tryin’ to sell you a sollution they don’t have

Sister i take solian and kietyl and it really effects very good but solian for me and my journey with dpdr it has bad side effects on me and as you said im not willing to continue my life with medication and also there is no magic pill because every magic it’s a trick that’s my opinion 🖤

Dont push through the sensations. Allow yourself to be depersonalized. Welcome it. Its scary but it works.

I know this video is a few years old, but thank you for this. I can relate to so many of these symptoms. I've had anxiety issues my whole life, but the last two months, my depersonalization has been the worst it's ever been.

Inspirational!! I've done 3 half marathons in the past and now I've just signed up for the Brighton Marathon in April 2024! I'm so excited 😊

Did you feel confused and pacing around the house like you dont know who you are and where you are?

Mmmwhens this gonna happen to me? Lol i still feel numb to everyone around me especially my bf and it kills me. Been this way since 2018 Congrats for you though seriously I wish you the best

How have you been ❤

How are you doing these days?

was that CBT therapy? thank you for sharing, I am currently studying counselling, so it is nice to watch a video from the clients point of view

Absolutely. Dreams too such vivid dreams.

Hey there everyone so for many and for myself I did get that extra motivational kick and help from more dopamine boosting supplements or meds . So things like Wellbutrin at a low dose , caffeine with l theanine , or taking l-tyrosine 1,000mg fasted in the morning one hour before breakfast . Cutting out gluten and processed foods helped . Eating more animal based also helped . A b complex doesn’t hurt either

But did your derealisation got better tho ?

I don’t think there’s a cure, at least in my case

SNRIS ( Effexor) really helped me to deal with DPR. I felt like a robot for sometimes as my emotions were compressed and life felt like a simulation. However, after taking medicating I started to feel like a human again and got more involved in reality.

Do u still have dpdr

Thank you for the video. The bit where you filmed yourself the day after gave me the feels. ❤

Good vid. Very inspiring.

This was amazing! Congratulations and thank you for sharing. I'm only on wk4 c25k but am starting to think maybe... :)

I am suffering this shit. I was on sertaline from 2017-2020 and it was okay. I did not really help me but I was able to study and work. And then then stupid meme covid lockdowns came. Since then derealisation came back.

Interesting the doc said Sertraline is a lifetime thing. It causes damage if taken over two years - and six months is the recommended duration. I’m also on it & lamotrigine but dpdr didn’t go way

I completely understand everything that you’ve just said here. I’m just beginning to try and understand myself. So thank you for this video.

Hi I'm really confused cause I don't really know if I have DPDR or something else... sinds almost 3 months after a shock event in my life I'm started feeling like my house.my work place my street my family, friends and every single place I visited before strange and first time I went there and also my memories and everything in my life like doesn't happened and also music i loved and every detail in my life...myself my personality like not myself anymore... and also that i feel that everything around me is weird and like im not living in life and environment around me like trees and everything so strange! It's like I forget what normal is and who I was as a person before.. And also related my sensation of weather and environment and seasons? And when I talk it's not seem like me And my head like it's not mine Feeling like I'm not here...

I have been struggling with Dpdr since 2015 until now nothing seems to change it's just getting worse, I have felt suicidal a lot

Lamotrigine seems to work well for me. I'm thinking of stopping Aripiprazole so that I'm taking only Lamotrigine and see how that works for me. I've had moments I was only on that while waiting for my other medication or switching.

I’ve suffered with depersonalisation off and on for 25 years linked with anxiety… but recently Ive been stuck in dpdr for months and I freak out thinking about myself, hearing my own voice, feel numb, feel mentally unwell, feel confused, brain fog 😭😭 You sound so strong I’m not sure how strong I am 😢x

Thank you and I Love you 😊

I just want to say how happy I am for you. I've been going on 7 years with this and know what absolute hell it is. I'm so glad to hear you're doing so much better.

I didn't realise that dpdr are a lot more common than I thought, it's a horrible disorder but you do come out of it a lot stronger.

Lamotrogine didn't work for me. I was put on that for about 3 weeks.

Thank you so much for this. I’m at rock bottom and try to use anything to hold on.

I can read most things I want to read but if someone gives me something and asks me to read on the spot I get the same feeling, I get a few words in and a fuzzy wall comes down and I really have to focus to read it.

I want to give lamotrigine a try before I come-off my venlafaxine, besides this terrible disorder is about to destroy my whole life, I want to go and study in Canada, but I'm too afraid that thing may get worse, so disappointed 😥😥, I hope that lamotrigine makes the difference for me ❤️

💕

It’s important to just keep doing the normal things and concentrating on what you are doing and not how you are feeling (symptoms)

This looked phenomenal! And great production of the vid too 🙂. You're so brave, and inspiring! Well done Dom xx

Hiya do you get anxious about going new places? Im struggling with agoraphobia because of my dp, like i'm scared of getting lost?

:(

Amazing 🙂

Loved this video! I'm getting back into running now after a year and a half of being inactive. I was able to get a spot in the 2022 NYC Marathon next November - it will be my first ever!. Thanks so much for sharing your story - I'm really excited to build up my miles between now and next November!

<3

i get it i feel like that all the time

Just wanted to say I'm so happy for you and proud of you. I've been watching your videos for a few months now and they really help me with my dissociation. I don't have a supportive family at all and to see someone else describe what I'm feeling makes me feel a little less alone. And I wanted to thank you for that.
