DEPERSONALIZATION: DO's and DON'Ts - *MUST Watch* 

Think of it like quicksand, the more you resist and fight it, the worse it gets, we will all get through this, don’t panic. Positive thoughts only

This kind of videos is the only thing that makes me calm down when it’s really bad, it’s really hard to except the feeling when it feels like it going to take over your body to the point u don’t know anything about life anymore. But thank u, and it’s really nice to know u never alone and many out there is dealing whit this right now too

Man thank you so much. Your one of the only people on youtube that talk about dpdr that really resonates with me. I love what you do. I havnt seen you for a while i hope you keep making videos. Hope your well. Thanks again

Thank you for this, I subbed ❤

i am so thankful for this video!!

Thanks bro, great video

Thank you so much , you made me better 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💌

Since I found your videos it’s been so much easier to cope with dpdr. Even when I have major setbacks I can come to your videos for reassurance so thank you 🙏❤️

i am hoping that quitting marijuana will strengthen my memory eventually, make me feel in the moment again, and make my anxiety and panic less

hello. thank you for your video. after the pandemic, i started having dpdr i think because of a really hard family situation. it’s been really bad the past few days and i’m not sure why. i can’t even sleep. i am writing this at 3 in the morning. i sometimes feel like banging my head against a wall because of all noise in my brain. i don’t know what we did to deserve this. i hope that i can be normal again and just accept that this is real life. i’d rather just believe life is this than keep having existential crises.

Please come back Swamy G. Just talk to us. About anything. You are marvelous!

THANK YOU ❤️

My dr lessens with watching this video… Wow. Thank you so much, I’ve been so afraid

Not all heros are wearing capes!

It’s hard Swamy! But thank you for making these videos! It gets hard when you feel like you’re getting better then it gets worse and you’re like ahhhhh what do I do now. My main symptom is feeling like I’m una VR like my eyes are VR. It’s just something that feels so UNREALLL like how is something like this possible 🙄 especially me being a hypochondriac this feels sooo much worse I assume. I’ve been doing meditation and reiki and I just have hope that it will get better ! Again thank you for what you do. 🙏🏻

thank you from france

Swamy i am in the stage where anxiety is really low,memory is getting better and derealization is lessening

Nice said...35 years non stop i am exausted,have no idea what life is like,reality,self...

I always think of who am I? How am I different from others? Are we not like the same machine? Who actually myself is ? How I was created and how I exists? What is soul? The sorruding enviroment and people look so weird that even I can't explain how weird it feel to me...I wonder how I see dreams...where my eyes are towards when I am dreaming...and all such weird things .......😭😭😭do any of you feel like me? I recovered 2 to 3 times from this derealization but it triggers again when I am so sad that my sadness reaches its worst.

I was litterally having an attack when u posted this thank you! so much

Stop researching the condition, no caffeine, if caused by drugs STOP TAKING THE DRUG, meditation videos, sleep sleep sleep deep sleep is key for healing the brain, grind games focus on somthing like that games, movies drawing, puzzles, plenty of water. These are some of the things I did I’m about %90 recovered had it for about a month now reach out if y’all need help

Thanks so much tho

I'm 25 and been dealing with ongoing DPDR since I was 17 from Marijuana panic dissociation. I'm nearly 90% recovered but I still feel a deep subconcious connection to dpdr and it affects my life choices and my outlook on life. I still feel very apathetic and just unmotivated but I want to move on with my life. Would you recommend medication like clomipramine or lamotrigine? And thank you for your videos your grounding meditation helped me a lot man

6 months after,my memory got better,all symptoms are vanishing more less,I'm going back to work in a few days. Reconected to life,i am not 100% still,but in highly liveable condition now,comparing to 3 months ago. This was a nightmare,and hellish experience but thankfully coming out from this hole.

I don’t care about a quick recovery.. but I haven’t recovered in ten years so I’m struggling with being impatient

I am concerned about one point. I almost can't do the usual things and live my normal life, because everything has changed. A long-term relationship ended, my parents divorced, I'm working now at a new job, I had to move. It's a very untidy feeling. Slowly, but of course I'm getting better, but it's very hard and I think I will never recover(((

Mine came after taking a delta 8 gummy. I had taken them a few nights prior and nothing happened. Then one night while searching for a vacation spot I got hit by the worst panic attack I’ve ever had. And had felt high for 6 days. It went away for a week or so, and came back after I couldn’t remember someone’s name. (During the first few weeks of the new year, I had a cancer scare and covid. So the stress was at it’s all time high. And the anxiety was horrible so I think it call came crashing down at once.) I’m at work all day and my job literally requires no thought at all so I’m in my head all day. That’s when it’s at its worst. And it just gets Worse the more I think about it. Then I start talking to my wife and family and driving home I start to feel better. Then it comes again the next day. It almost completely went away again last night and it’s back. My symptoms are just feeling ultra tunnel vision and feeling like I’m in a dream. Just day dreaming all day long. But I’m mentally sharp and can have a intellectual conversation with people and continue to create art and play call of duty 😆 but I just ignore my surroundings subconsciously and feel like I’m dreaming. I have accepted it, I am aware and I’m safe. Just mentally exhausted and tired of it lol I have a long drive in May… 9 hours. So I’m on my path to recovery, I feel great. Just super mentally foggy and dreamy. Basically feel high 😆 Life is going to get a hell of a lot better for us all. Be patient. Be aware, learn from this. We can do anything! This channel is a gem

Sometimes I feel I not having dpdr instead it is another else mental disorder I'm going through ..but the many symptoms of dpdr matched with my symptoms

Hey again Swamy, i have hyper awareness and i dont know if its anxiety, stress or both and if it is what can i do because hyper awareness is hard to accept i get feelings in my stomach and sometimes i get a heat felling in my chest when i realize im alive. Its the lowest ive ever been in dpdr and i wanna get rid of hyper awareness so i can continue my recovery. I made a mistake before i got hyper awareness/ anxiety i would look for cures and think about the past sometimes and stress about the smallest thing's that i couldve ignored or not care about.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is DPDR, so I was wondering if anyone could relate/help. It all started after a substance-induced panic attack, at first I was really feeling weird, thoughts of going crazy, the world and people looked different, so I recognized it as DPDR accepted it and moved on with life. Now, when I get in a stressful situation or stress myself out with overthinking I get "overanalytical" about the world, for example during a test I'll see the professor like a human being that has a particular role, and then I would zoom out and think about humans taking particular roles and everything would seem pointless and meaningless. A similar thing happens when I'm watching a movie, I can see the acting and can't really enjoy watching movies. Also, birds and animals seem like some biochemical machines and I really used to love them :( Is this still DPDR? Where can I restart and take the blue pill instead? Sending love to you guys xoxo

Swamy? I’m taking risperidone for anxiety but I’m worried it’s messing with my head, I want to get off and face depersonalization alone. But I’m scared of withdrawal, I messed up again. I was on antidepressants for 2 years and when I tried to get off hell broke loose in my head, I’m worried it’ll be worse. It’s all my fault and now I have more consequences to face, I’m very nervous rn so sorry for typing a lot it just, it sucks having this feeling

Hey Swamy, maybe you'll read this, hopefully. Sometimes when I'm really anxious I kinda have the feeling of hearing like a sirene or something (in the distance). I mean, Im not actually hearing it and I know it but its still very scary sometimes. It feels like im imagining this particular sound. Any advice? Is it more than dpdr?

Hey man ! I just want to ask, if you were experiencing extreme inner fatigue and tiredness in your head while DP/DR. When im derealizing, i'm suddenly very tired and have to rest my eyes. Can you relate? And another question master :) Did you also have permanent tiredness that you can't sleep away? I mean when i had no DP/DR and were tired, i just used to go to sleep and next day i felt normal. But now WITH DP/DR i feel tired, i go to sleep and next day i still feel tired, like i never slept. Thx :)

Hey Swamy, is it normal to feel unbalanced and dizzy with dpdr, are those one of symptoms?

i feel like i’m going to go crazy i feel like one day i won’t be able to think so won’t be able to walk talk ect or be totally not conscious

Hi Swamy, did your OCD thoughts and fears completely go away?

I just feel like there is no "me" to accept the symptoms anymore. I don't have any thoughts about DP or my symptoms. I feel like I'm forgetting that I even have DP anymore. Don't feel fear or anxiety... I can't tell if I've accepted it, or if I'm just so far gone that I can't even tell I'm disconnected anymore.

Would you consider doing the Wim Hoff method fighting it??

Also how do you deal with the restlessness at night that usually causes more anxiety

Hi, im 20,5, may i have a question? I don't think i've dp/dr but the problem i have is that i definitely don't have automatic/spontaneous thoughts. I mean, there is no thought comming up to my head without my control. I can, t have them naturally flow into my head, if i have to think i have to force myself, its very frustrating and unnatural. My mind is blank almost all days, i lost interest in everything. I have this for 7 months, and i feel like its getting worse. Everything started from extreme OCD and racing thoughts, i had a lot of stress, also i was worrying a lot, i had a lack from sleep (like no sleep for days, or not too much) and i finally ended with this state of mind. And now my ocd, anxiety, racing thoughts are gone, what I was worried about before, I don't care anymore, but my blank mind is still left. I also remember i was overthinking something that was very stressful for me, i was thinking only and only about it, analyzing it, couldn, t sleep for days from this. I realized many times that it was Just a self destruction. I, ve never been to any psychiatrist/psychologist with this, because i really doubt that they could help me with this. I dont think that there are any meds which could help get my thoughts back, also they maybe may don, t know what it is, or if it exists. I don, t want suicide, but im not planning living like this longer. Its destroying my life, piece by piece. Everyday is hell since it started. Is there something what i should/can do to get my spontaneous thoughts come back? I dont think that i had any trauma, but just everyday chronic stress, i, ve been having headaches from stress too. I just hope that this state of mind is not actually pernament...

@RealSwamyG can i have a fear in my mind and feel tightness in chest and fear

I have a question... I've been feeling much better than a few weeks ago, but still feeling some sort of sensibility to my eyes and a weird feeling of pressure in my head. I've been living life as if I've got nothing but still this specific symptom persists. Is it normal to don't feel like very anxious but still got a symptom after feeling a little better? This one symptom keeps in a sense of hypervigilance, but I don't feel detached and I can feel my emotions and everything else. I only got this worrying thinking about this specific one that drives me nuts.

I’m not anxious anymore, but i still feel it? will it go away?

Im 16 and do counseling for my dpdr and social anxiety. My dad only sees me on weekends and im very calm at his house so rarely go into an episode unless im in the shower or backseat of the car. With my mom im always nervous to go in public with her because I know if I go in an episode she will get mad at me. My mom doesnt understand dpdr and says I need to sleep and that Im acting crazy and it turns into a whole big thing. So I feel like I cant feel my symptoms and feelings of dprd and only try to avoid and fight them. I feel I could only practice this if im alone. So Would it be considered unhealthy or strange to purposely put myself in a dpdr episode to practice accepting the feelings? Im scared to do it but really want to learn to manage myself

Hi Swamy! I just started college on campus instead of online. My dpdr is terrible because of it, I don’t know If should go back to online or if it would help to stay.

My dp / dr has decreased (I take medication and have practiced acceptance) but I still have existential thoughts and doubts. I feel like I live in a memory or in a circle. This is normal? Is it related to anxiety and depression?

I wonder if anti depressant or anti anxiety med prescriptions are allowed or would that be avoiding the problem and not letting ourselves to heal naturally?

My fear is that my vision will just become farther and farther distant the older I get. Is it possible for my vision to become so fake and far away that everything will eventually look so far away that I have no control over anything except to view everything from a distance? Another thing I have is, you talk about letting go and acceptance and all of that, but how can I do that if I don’t feel like I’m in control of my actions or movements or words? How do I tell myself to form a routine if it doesn’t feel like I’m the one doing it? These are questions no one answers.

Hey swami i just have a question that in dpdr i get thoughts like i would forget everything in life about life and what i studied till now is this common??

I’ve had it for 3 years and I feel that it’s getting a little better but I feel like my brains protecting me from something and I can’t seem to think what it is does anyone else have this problem

Hi Swamy, I bought the program from dp no more, with e-mail support for 30 days. I respond to the e-mails with the specified e-mail address but I do not receive a response from you… maybe they don't arrive correctly that could be. I have a lot of questions, can we get in contact?

how can you tell if you are going through a spiritual emergency or just dp

Hey Swamy the last 4 days ive had bufferflies in my stomach over what my mom and dad said my mom told me i used to hug her and tell her i love her and my dad said i used to ask questions about stuff and when my dad asked me that i felt nothing then hours later something triggered me when my mom and dad told me ringed in my head made me feel regret and sad and the last 2 days ive been crying over what my mom said and still do now and i see the regret, i went to visit my mom for 1 month and that whole month i didnt socialize enough with her and now thinking about it now makes me sad and cry i haven't been able to eat right or concentrate right because of this regret which gives some stress the thoughts are low but the feeling of sadness is high idk if i should accept it or visit her again and do what i didnt do, only then will i resume my healing process pls lmk?

But how can I accept it and not run away if I still don’t believe that I’m real and suffer from existential anxiety as well?

Oct 9th it's been One Year i smoked weed & the Hangover is still there in form of Dpdr

Is it okay to have a fast beating heart all the time

Has anyone tried SSRI medications for this and did it help with the anxiety?

Hey Swami , i had recently been in a lot of trauma , lost my father some months back. I had nearly recovered and rarely feeled disassociated. But recently it has come back ! Along with a lot of anxiety and more horrifying , plz tell me what to do 😭 . Idk y sometimes I feel like I will forget everything and everyone , and that's my biggest fear

Swamy...how come you don't make any new videos?

I do normal things like talk to my friends and go out with family but I constantly feel like I am stuck inside my head and that feeling scares me. I feel like something is terribly wrong with me and I don't know how to "think normally" anymore and my thoughts are not my own. This is a constant 24/7 feeling please tell me what to do

How can i contact you?

I have dpdr 4 months now .. i keep worrying over that this is psychosis, i DO NOT have audiotory, visual hallucination or delusions, but just living with this is so wweeiirrddd, its like i dont remember what normal feels like :(

When it hits me hard , i start to sweat alot, red in the face. It’s feels weird. Like a panic Attack

Hey Swamy!I wanted to ask:In DP/DR do you get hyperaware of senses as well?Like panicking over the fact that you are alive and have the senses you have?
