@@RealSwamyG Hi, thank you for your videos. How do you feel about the fear of death? Is it a common experience to develop this kind of fear along with dpdr and then to lose it when dpdr goes away?
This came in such good timing! I was okay for about a week after a rough 7 weeks and then suddenly I got all the symptoms and started researching the condition again!
The most intense time I feel derealization is when started to get in a deep convo with someone, looking at them feels like walking into/under an illusioned bridge
This is exactly how I am feeling , few weeks back I had it in the morning , noon , evening and night used to feel less better and more dp but now I'm feeling a lot better and less dp. Also I have mild depression and anxiety which comes and goes , felt better after watching this
This is my 13 month i accept and i start work on it.. just exercise like jogging 15 minute daily without holiday .. Yahooooo. Now i am in my final destination . i mean 90 percent recover...
Wow thank you for this video! Amazing information your a blessing brotha! Normally I get super discouraged thinking that I’m not getting better but just getting worse but this was such a better outlook on it!
It's healthy to vent about your frustration, but all some people do is vent all the time. It doesn't help them, it also doesn't help others. Stop paying attention to what these people have to say.
Dan Sarbassov don’t give up and take care of yourself man. I wish you the best. But just because someone’s had it for years doesn’t make them negative or bad energy, they’re just more lost than others. I feel so bad for those people. Some of them have tried all they can and might not have found the proper recovery methods, or had the right people to talk to, or maybe have no one at all. This thing is different for everyone and there’re levels to it that can easily terrify someone for so long and it’s not their fault.
Danny Passenger thanks brother I’ve actually improved quite a bit and had some symptoms go away completely. What’s still left is the emotional numbness, tension headaches and racing thoughts so I hope those go soon. And by negative people I meant people on forums who literally say “DP is permanent and you will never get better I’ve had it so and so years.” There are plenty of positive long term sufferers as well.
Dan Sarbassov I feel the exact same way. I immediately panic when I see someone who mentions they’ve had DP for ‘years’. I have not been professionally diagnosed with DP but I’m 99% I have it because I have almost all the symptoms and it was caused by a bad weed trip that induced DP and a panic attack. I’ve been feeling this way since last Wednesday so not even 1 week yet but I’m terrified how long it is going to last for and I have also been getting freaked out by people commenting on how long they’ve been suffering for and how nothing helps them. They most likely haven’t tried every single method of trying to get better though. You never know what ‘trauma’ they’ve been through as well or how their chemistry is different than ours. How are you feeling now by the way?
@@amethystclouds8750 how are you? I get these too from weed and give me panic and dp and Dr. Although I had these for 3weeks straight. These people give me hope. I just think logically that this is only a thought. So in 1 and half months I manage it and I can control it. Don't let your intrusive thoughts control you. Always keep moving forward. Even you feel it. Even now I get it sometimes when I think of it. Well I know now it's just a thought.
I’ve had DP for 14 years. I feel like I’m never getting over it. I’ve graduated college, married, opened a successful business and have two beautiful children. It’s hard living in fog every minute of everyday, but you have you find the little joys in everyday life.
Is it common in dp to feel extremely weird thoughts, feel strange to see natural thing happens in human like,, having constantly thoghts and sensation in our head seems so strange ..this world is totally strange ..
Hi swamy I just want to ask you Why me setbacks is very fast? I mean like day is good and the other day is bad and sometimes i feel good for like tow hours and its back after that What thats mean? Thank you you are great man ❤️
hey I vape heavily and I know you’re not supposed to have nicotine because it’s a stimulant but I can say I’m addicted so is it still possible to recover even if I vape through the process .
Hey Swamy, after watching some of your videos I made a huge leap in progress, resulting in 2 months of near complete relief! I do have a question because I am now having a setback. I know that this is normal but what's confusing me is thoughts that did not bother me before, or thoughts I had already worked through have been causing distress again. I was wondering if this is normal to have old fears resurface during a setback? Thank you!
Congrats on your 2-month break. This is exactly how a setback will feel. You'll almost feel like you never recovered in the first place. Setbacks will try to fool you. Don't fall for it. This is why I tell people to write down something positive when they feel better. Like a note to yourself telling that there will be setbacks and that's ok. Don't worry, weather this setback using the same principles that worked for you the first time. You'll get a break soon. This pattern will repeat for a while until your body and mind decide that you are not treating DP as a threat.
@@voltzwalker72 well enough! Mostly fully recovered except I still have the nagging anxiety of having early onset Alzheimer’s every so often but I can usually break from it within a day. Soon those fears will melt away as well. I now know that this is 100% an anxiety condition and while I have overcome the main symptoms of DPDR, the anxiety itself is slowly working it’s way out. I would say I feel absolutely no symptoms 90% of the time, but eventually all symptoms will go away.
Im having downcycle again , it is hard to accept again that it is not harmful and just setbacks because it hits again and again and makes us to feel that its permanent in our life ,,😑
Is it okay that you are feeling fear even while you are pushing yourself to stay busy and distracted. Because its impossible to not feel fear with it. Also as you are coming back to reality is alot of crying and fear of reconnecting being scarey common?
We don't fight fear, we accept it. We say "Ok, I feel fear, and it's sometimes intense, but I'm gonna keep moving forward". Tell yourself it's ok to feel fear. I'm not sure about the second question. If crying and sadness comes up, process that. Accept it. Don't try to escape DP/DR. This is where many ppl go wrong. It's here. It will leave you sometime on its own. The more you try to escape it, the tighter it's grips become.
Also. I get a setback once a week after my trauma therepy for about two days. But my days are getting better and the setbacks are not as intense is this a sign of recovery. I do completely forget how normal feels when it hits again though
I’ve been dealing with this like 2.5 years and the pst 2 years was good I was going up and then the past 2 months it feels like I took a step back and the begging thoughts and fears came back and the symptoms increased. I just told my job about my anxiety and pretty much fired me which I think sittin in front of a computer made it worse. Any tips?
I know this was a yr ago but I wonder the same thing I try to research it I think what we wait for is neuroplacisticy to take place and some articles claims in take 4 and a half months or 63 days which I know is weird time frame but I have the same question because I would do anything to rid myself of bad stress and anxiety
@@cansuka I’m better definitely no where near how bad I was I’m scared to drink alcohol though and I’m scared if it retuning it took about 6 months to go away but I’m also in therapy
