These videos take a weight off my shoulders so much. Thank you for being a great source for discussion and questions. When im having a bad phase with DPDR, one of these videos make me feel better for weeks. This is a great community and i wish everyone the best on their recovery/research

Omg that memory thing is so accurate.. he has named what i have veen feeling for years

I know this is all a symptom of anxiety but sometimes it’s so hard to live like this

damn brother ive been stuck constantly in derealization for 4 years due to brain damage. dont even remember what its like to not feel like im in a dream. cant drive or even walk around my block. its good to see other people recover tho, living like this has sent me to the absolute depths of the existential rabbit hole.

This is exactly what I’m experiencing!!

You’ve gained a fan and I came across your channel looking for help for my 18 yr old daughter who is suffering so much with DPDR. I’ve never heard of it until she told me. I don’t know how else to help her because she truly thinks she’s going insane. The psychiatrist gave her Prozac but I would like to know, besides your manual. What’s better? A therapist? A psychologist?? I don’t know how else to help her. I’ll share your channel with her and I’m sure she’ll feel relive. Thank you

My head feels like covered with air bag feels like i can't understand what i read and hear ,feels like there not absorbing in my brain,.and then Fears come i feel like everythings unfamiliar even my body is unfamiliar for me like im going to forget everything even though i know all

I have this super weird symptom and im hoping im not the only one.. i feel like i see everything in my vision, but im not SEEING anything... almost like im not percieving anything. I can clearly see and interact with my surrounds, but it legit feels like im blind at the same time.. its such a weird feeling bc how is that even possible??? It feels like im going crazy.

hello, I see everything unreal, like a dream and I feel like I'm going to lose consciousness or forget everything and I don't recognize myself in the mirror. I would like to know if this is harmless and by losing the fear of the sensation I can head towards recovery.

Hahah holy shit i tried to describe this to people and no one understood what I meant when I said it felt like “I was forgetting things as they were happening” lmao

I can't explain exactly what is happening to me. But I get feeling of fear whenever I am outside the home. My body shakes, and my mind sometimes just shuts down. I was not that lazy, but now I don't find any motivation to do anything. Nothing feels good. Also, i am having personal issue of infertility. I am not able to ejeculate. Will I ever recover ? 😢

thanks shaun. i have alienation with my head. this is som hard for my. always 24/7 i dont know who i am. i dont know what is this. every day i lost my head. when i talk or movie his is so alien.😑😮‍💨😔does it dp? my head scared my always and i cant stay alone. what is this? please tell me.

Somebody on here please help me because this isn’t making any sense . When upon waking I literally can’t think at all just a blank mind. No reaction to anything or anyone . Is this normal and what’s causes this . This is not normal waking up this way . Is this normal

I can't understand what I'm going through at night, even as I move from room to room, I feel my surroundings have changed. how can i heal

Are symptoms supposed to go right away or do some of them linger over time and go away little by little? Most of my severe symptoms went away after a few hours. Feeling like I’m in a glass bubble, being a self observer, memory loss, etc. But when I look outside things still seem off. Buildings look cartoonish and hazy. And cars are moving in slow motion. I have visual snow and I’m seeing tons of eye floaters when I look at the sky. Whenever I look outside the atmosphere seems empty, bliss and peaceful, like all of the chaos in the world suddenly got muted, I don’t know how to explain it but it’s not a bad feeling. I’m also getting deja vu more frequently and suddenly getting scared of existential questions that I wasn’t scared of before. I feel normal for the most part, though. But something feels off and I’m very anxious. Do I still have symptoms of derealization or is this just in my head? I still struggle with severe anxiety. It’s like these symptoms disappear when I forget about them and the come back when I remember. Is this just ocd? Or am I still experiencing dp/dr symptoms?

For as long as I can remember, I've felt like my body is not mine, and I'm not here. When I look in the mirror, it isn't me. I have never been diagnosed with a dissociative disorder and my symptoms are mostly depersonalization rather than derealization. I'm not concerned; I don't know any different, but I was wondering about smoking marijuana. I'll use it occasionally, but I don't really like it. It never relaxes me, and my depersonalization symptoms become worse. Do people with dissociative disorders like using marijuana or does it make the symptoms worse? I'm curious about it.

I’ve been lookin for someone who understands that amnesia thing

I feel like I’m outside of my body all the time like I’m watching myself every second of the day it never goes away can that be a symptom with it?

can nausea or feeling light headed be a symptom of dpdr? it seems that every time i get into that panic dissociated state, i tend to get really nauseous and sometimes i can get lightheaded as well.

Saun did all those who recovered or infact you got back all your physical senses? Confusion, fumbleness and memory problems were with you ? And did all go away and are you now able to read and sing to a high pitch or tone? I can't write also.

My brother Paul and Sean, is the tobacco cigarette straining the situation?

hi shaun I wanted to ask you: I'm in a very bad dpdr state and it's like i can't even do the basics things like holding a normal conversation without saying something illogical and i'v been this way for 3 days ( i'v been struggling with dpdr for two months) is this Normal to experience? I'm afraid of loosing control over what i say I'm really affraid

I also want. A video conversation and want to share. My dp experience

Can dpdr make you notice yourself blinking like you’re watching yourself blink I know it sounds crazy but that’s a symptom I’m so worried about

I just want to appreciate this man’s English skills. To express yourself on such a deep, complex topic in another language is no easy feat, so bravo! Speaking of which, learning a new language is a fantastic distraction 😊

My feelings of disconnection seem to be fueled by terrible intrusive FEELINGS…despair, hopelessness, impending doom. Thing is, I have no clue WHY I have these feelings, they just showed up during an anxiety attack. I'm not feeling hopeless ABOUT anything in my life (other than these crappy thoughts) if that makes sense. The circumstances of my life are very enviable, and I don't have much external stress. But as a result of these horrifying thoughts, I go around all day feeling so upset that I don't feel like I used to feel in this situation, or this situation, or when I see my cat, or when I see that tree...do you know what I mean? I am disconnected from my normal, happy feelings, even at the smallest things. Can this approach still work for me?

I had a very similar journey to DPDR. Lots of psychedelic experimenting and a relentless weed habbit eventually triggered my breakdown from just one joint of all things. What you said about reading too much into the DPDR experience was especially true for me. I too have a strong intellectual appetite for the field of ontology and I remember thinking that I was passing into another dimension or surfing some astral plane of existence where reality was forver broken to me. I annoyingly developed a nasty case of visual snow and static as a symptom which encouraged me to seriously over indulge in these fantasies. Truly the most terrifying experience I think one can go through. I managed to recover and have quit all recreational drugs ever since. Apart from the insane nightmares that were primarily the result of quitting weed and dreaming for the first time in 7 years, it was actually quite easy for me to give that all up as all I had to do when I got tempted was to think back to how terrifying things were for me in the peak of it. In many ways, my experience, as scary as it was, was probably the best thing to ever happen to me. I ended up quitting a job I hated, started going to the gym, lost 15kg and then got my dream job. It fundamentally changed the person I was to the point where my closest friends and family would comment on how i was a "different person". One hard truth I have come to realise is that these thoughts can creep back in but I am much better equipped to manage and deal with them now. Do full recoveries actually exist without the risk of relapse? I went 11 months without any such thought and then one day recently I had a bit of a wobble but bounced back from it.

I’ve been struggling with dpdr and existential anxiety for about 3 months after a bad trip and it’s taken a huge toll on me. I’ve just been prescribed prozac/fluoxetine and I was just wondering if that’s helpful for dpdr? I’ve tried researching it but I can’t really find anything?

What does this illnesa derive from? Like what is this phenomenon?

🙏🙏🙏

Did anyone else experience extreme tiredness? Then when you try and sleep u can’t??

Yes weed has dark sides
