The best part of my week so far has been seeing your videos and realizing more things about myself and realizing that I might have certain issues and talking to my therapist about them who helped me get treatment for what ales me. ^^
Yung Cris yes! And when I close my eyes everything feels so distorted! Like I can imagine certain objects and they’re just a liquid or something it’s so weird
Idk if this contributed to maybe why I feel this way, but when I was younger I saw a trailer about a demonic presence attacking people through mirrors with exact copies of themselves. It scared me shitless so I hardly looked in the mirror and I’ve never been a vain person anyways, so I hardly did it before watching that trailer. I hardly took pictures of myself or allowed others to take pictures of me. Sometimes I look back through photos or I catch a glimpse of a child in a picture frame, but have zero clue how she came to look like me. There’s days where I’m petrified of looking at myself in the mirror, bc I don’t feel like I look like myself. So, like a crazy person I start talking to my reflection, threatening to break the glass if it pulls some creepy shit... It never does. Then there’s days when I’m not bothered because I recognize myself in the mirror. Then there’s days where I feel like she’s watching me with knowing eyes. Like if it were possible to step through the glass and see what’s on the other side it’d be an alternate universe where she lives a different life than me or at least she’s living at a different time of our life. Ik I sound crazy, but I’m certain that I can’t be the only one who’s ever felt this way. Idk if it’s this derealization or depersonalization stuff, I try not to self-diagnose.
I have this memory as a child. I would stare at myself in the mirror while saying my name over and over. Just normally. Maybe after the first ten times I said it, I started to not feel like me. Like I was... blank and looking at a sad little kid. To this day, I don’t know why I started that. No one ever told me to do that or nothing on tv ever said to do that. I just did it. It would scare me. I couldn’t do it now.
I have cured my depersonalization and derealization the day I took 2 tabs or Lsd and In the madness of the most intense trip of my life I found the reasons why I felt like I did. It takes looking into your head to get past this. The lsd trip helped me realize a lot about myself and really has helped me with self esteem. I’m not suggesting you do lsd but just sharing my expierence with this and how I fixed it for the better. Looking back on how I might’ve caused it i know that it was the weed
I do this to snap back into reality. I know I’ve had both for the longest time and got diagnosed. I live in my head I feel like I’m not here ever it’s hard to live in the moment
Who else constantly feels like they are on the verge of losing their shit sometimes and familiar areas look like you are seeing them for the first time??
Yea i remember to have this for the first time, at that point i was on that direct place and instantly forgot where i am. like 3 or 4 seconds later i realized where i was again. That shit freaked me out
I'll just be in my bed and then suddenly I'll be like "damn I'm actually living, this is my only life." And I'll just cry. It's very scary and unsettling. It ruins my whole day when it happens.
These past few weeks I’ve been worried asf about dying. I know I still got a whole lot of years ahead of me but the thought of dying and my whole life just going blank after this. Will I even see god or will I go to limbo? Hell? What happens after this? I’m so fucking scared 😭
I don't know what to do for you man, I feel the same. But you need to go to the doctor, tell them, go to a therapist. It will help. I promise, you are ok. We can be twinsies :)
I had months where I couldn't stop thinking about it and it got really bad as it got closer to christmas and there was about two weeks where i just kind of blanked out because it got so bad. I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that i was gonna die some day. All i remember from those two weeks is christmas day and baking cookies a few nights before.
this usually happens late at night when I can't sleep. I usually try to sleep closing my eyes and relaxing my body and then it happens like I watch at the blanket that cover my body and think about the fact that I'm living like I'm watching a film and my eyes are the camera
I remember going through my derealization episode. I went to my best friend and kept telling her "I know I'm talking to you but it doesn't feel real, nothing feels real." When I looked at myself in the mirror it was like someone else was looking back at me instead. It really does feel like a long never-ending dream coupled with panic attacks and constant anxiety. Had to get prescribed a high dosage of antidepressants after locking myself away for almost 2 months. It gets better but it's a real hard journey.
when I talk with my friend on discord to work on our thesis, it doesn't feel real at all, it feels like I'm observing myself from the 'outside', it feels like watching a film of myself
it’s so hard to try and explain it to other people. i’ve tried to tell my mom about it but it just never makes sense. she just thinks i have anxiety or depression or something and i probably do but it’s all because of this
Hi Kirsten. I had a dpdr episode yesterday and Im just about recovering now. Can I ask if its a constant thing or does it sometimes just happen to you. Mine was cannabis enduced and i feel mostly back to normal now
Does anybody keep 'waking up' to reality over and over and over again? Like I'll be driving and all of a sudden every second that goes by I 'realize' that I'm driving. Time goes INCREDIBLY slow and the moment your in seemingly keeps restarting. And you realize again "Oh Im driving". "Omg Im STILL driving". "STILL driving". And this happens atleast 50 times in a row and you cant get out of it. Anyone experience this?
Yes!!!!! literally exactly what i’m experiencing in my depersonalization! i’ll be walking to the kitchen to get food and as soon as i arrive at the kitchen i’m like did i really just walk here? did that even happen? it’s been a month now from suffering from depersonalization from weed
I used to have this often and in those moments I needed some seconds to recognize my surroundings again. Once I stood in the kitchen holding a flipper and forgot the movements I needed to do to use it. Or I was in the bathroom and suddenly expected the exit to be on the wrong side and got disoriented. I needed a few moments to actually get out and my bathroom is really small. My boyfriend sat in the living room and was confused that I was so confused and sometimes you cannot even describe these strange twists to others. After lots of therapy I don’t get these “fall out” moments often anymore and the distortions in my vision have decreased. I guess it does get better somehow but still nothing is real and I don’t exist. Although I do feel like I am somehow getting closer to that non-existent something. Because it has to exist behind this fog. You know?
I just wanted to say as a person who experienced dpdr for month’s, I just wanted to say that it gets better and it goes away and it’s really a mindset thing don’t overthink it keep on living no matter what. And remember the more you fear it the worst it gets so instead of fearing it distract your self, cut back on your stress, and learn your stress limit and I promise you, you will feel better soon. Have an amazing day and if this help make sure to like you got this, stay strong❤️
@@aduckwithsmallfeet I'm just dropping this message to affirm what you said. The person who posted what you responded to was lucky enough that it went away, but that doesn't always happen. Some people are going to be dealing with it their entire lives. You can learn better ways to live with it, but it definitely isn't guaranteed to go away.
A bad part that can drive you insane even more is when you try to explain to people and nobody cares or acknowledges it, makes you confused even more..
The first person I told was my best friend and she thought I was overreacting and fake self-diagnosing. I also told my therapist and she was saying there is no way to actually get diagnosed which is weird cause this video literally just said there is. It just feels like no one actually understands it.
I don't usually care about people's like that, exception for my family because it's pitiful for me. Think about this: A person who doesn't think of others don't know how to think to themselves nor understand themselves.
okay so yall have frickin cartoon profile pictures there's no way you can tear your reality apart and fully convince yourself that everything we know is a lie. Cause I fuckin think elves are all around me and geometry and shit. not to mention me crouching in the kitchen
I mean, derealization and depersonalization are symptoms (although they can be there because of Depersonalization/Derealization disorder). I personally experience them as symptoms from my anxiety and depression.
@@jamieisnotokay3298 I'll delete this comment if I'm talking shit. I feel really ashamed around my Parents and staff generally. It's one of only a few Emotions I've been able to feel the last 5 approx months. The others being: Apathy, confusion, regret, sentimentality, pain, and fleeting joy. I struggle to come to terms with not hearing Feedback from anyone 4 so long, Sincerely. So I've reinforced my putting Self down into myself.
This feels so complicated to describe. It’s like a scary feeling of feeling though everything is fake even your self. Not only that you start to think about what happens after death and if there is any thing after this life. It is probably the scariest I’ve ever felt
ru-vid.com/group/PLLJYuBgviqU_BQ9j2IhfjA7ADknro3_f6 I made this playlist when I was recovering to help other people who are experiencing it since there's not a whole lot of info about it. I hope you're doing okay, stay strong friend! ♥️
What the hell, this is the exact same thought I had where I used to think after life after death and wheather this world is real Or am I living in a simulation
It feels as if everything is one thing rather than separate objects. There are no longer "rooms", "inside" or "outside", "this" or "that", it's all just one infinite 3D thing with different shapes and colours that have no meaning. It feels like you're in a different, alien dimension. When I would first get it I was extremely terrified, it felt like my entire life would suddenly be violently torn away from me and I was left with just an infinite void of meaningless and insanity. One of the best things to do is not think about it. Keep yourself busy.
same, sometimes you'd see me cooking, shitting, eating but i'd look completely out of it, since i feel like im moving somewhere else, like in another body. i'd see things meant to be blurry but completely seeing it clearly. i feel like its all so repetitive like a script code, and i'm an auto afk machine. I can sometimes feel that i'm seeing things not meant to be in my pov, third person, second, first.
Yeah! I always feel like I'm just watching a movie, and my eyes are the camera, but somehow I still manage to talk with people and do things, even though I feel completely detached
I literally started crying when I found out about these disorders and their symptoms. I never even knew that these things I’d been saying and feeling just needed to be said to a doctor
I've experienced this for a long time around 9 years (I think) but when I found out about it I didn't get help right away when I did my family doctor basically said "Your overthinking" I'm not lying when I had the most intense massive mental breakdown. I don't even know how to deal with this situation (I'm not saying going to a doctor wont work but the medical industry it just feels like you really have to go so many times to actually find if there's something)
@@clairelu606now what's ur feeling.are you ok.how it occurs? Because I am also suffered .i really disappointed after many years our thoughts are too worst . sometimes regretting .heart is heavy.
@@pranavgolukonda1696 I will say I misinterprets some feelings but I will say it was quite intense at that time. I don't remember the details but my doctor was telling me I was overthinking my symptoms which looking back was messed up. But I'm feeling so much better, I'm really proud of myself from coming out and building myself again. I can look pass it now. It mainly occur with being isolated and started to spiral with covid.
i feel like i’m so deep in my head all the time that , at times, i realize i’m in first person mode and i get freaked out and then i wonder : how the fuck does being in 1st person freak me out if that’s all i’ve ever experienced in life
@@arionas26 I don't have the disorder, But I have had several episodes. and if that's you all the time, or almost all the time I would see about trying to get help if you can bc it's hell and you totally deserve all the love and support
TheDauntlessGirlonFire I sometimes go through a mixture of both. It’s hard to explain. I just feel like I lose control of what I’m doing, and my body is moving itself. As if my brain is disconnected from my body.
Agustin Vazquez How did you--- I legit self diagnosed myself as one (not like I was sure it was just my label untill I got the balls to get real help) and now... Now I know.
Hannah Kohl I have had thoughts about killing my classmates so empathy is thrown out the window 😂😔 I'm luckily better now but it's really scary to laugh while people are suffering or dying,
Yes.i watched my beloved cat getting put to sleep and didn't feel anything, while my father was crying.she was also like a child to me.but i was so in dpdr it didn't got me
One thing that gets rid of my derealization: closing my eyes for a couple minutes. The outside world is so overwhelming sometimes that blocking it out helps. I can't share this with enough people lol. Hope it helps, and if it doesn't-- just keep trying stuff. That's how I got here. update: sunglasses >>>
I was watching a lot of videos about simulation and suddenly a thought came in my mind that what if this world is just a dream ?? What if all the people i love are just my imagination that sh*t is scary to imagine and idk why I'm not getting over this fact i just feel like I'm trapped inside my own imagination i dont know how to explain it but please if you're reading this help me.
@@garrygrewal4321 I'm really not sure how to help. However, I will say this-- you are not alone. You are surrounded by people and loved ones, all of whom are real. Have you tried pursuing therapy? It might help to talk to a therapist.
@@cilantrolime i haven't talked to a therapist yet but I've told this to my mom and she tried to explain it to me but nothing really worked I'm afraid to tell it to my dad,I'm only 15 and I have no idea how to get out of this hell.
@@garrygrewal4321 you might approach your parents about therapy. this sounds like it could help. I'm very sorry that you're going through this, I hope you find a way out soon :)
@@cilantrolime I've just learned to co operate with this thing now. Whenever the thought comes in my mind about "what if it's all just a dream" ? I just say cool and don't think about it anymore,thank you for helping me out.
Exactly. Every time I interact with someone it's like I'm not even there and I can't feel anything. It is terrifying. I'm not diagnosed with derealization, but I strongly believe it is what I've been experiencing for the last year or so. I just have to find the courage to go and seek help, but it's like my body refuses this as a possibility. Like it's emotionlessly saying that I don't need it. It's getting kind of scary to be honest, but I still think that this is great as a copinig mechanism and I can't bring myself to even actively desire to get rid of it. I dunno if that makes any sense. Does anyone feel like this as well?
@@aliciaf4744 i promise it won't be forever, i thought the same thing. Please try not to worry and stress about it. The best thing is to try accept the feeling rather than resisting it
Emily Mahady thankyou x yeah at the moment i‘m trying to not think about it, but i‘m even more out of it because i‘m not actively trying not to feel zoned out (if you get what I mean lol) - I really hope it does get better but I’ve seen so many comments of people who’ve suffered from it for years and years
Y’all ever just stare at a mirror and be like “that’s me, I’m controlling this body.” Edit: I think if you stop smoking 🍃 you’ll do better with it. Atleast that’s how it started for me. I’m just speaking from experience. It also wasn’t as strong when I stopped and waited like a month later
I’d describe it similar to the feeling you get when you experience deja vu. Everything looks the same but it feels so weird and almost new. You could experience deja vu in your living room you grew up in, but in that moment, your living room feels foreign and different. Imagine that feeling constantly along with the feeling nothing is real. Like you’re just observing the madness. I’m glad to report I don’t suffer it anymore. It went away by itself with time. Just distract yourself as much as possible.
I thought I was the only one that had this for forty years I really don't know what the answer is and anxiety medicines work but doctors are hesitant to give them and I'm getting scared that my doctor will take me off of it talk therapy does not work🙏
Honestly i always thought it was just me because when i told my doctor about this at a young age, all she did was tell me “but you can’t believe symptoms that google gives you” its so hard to be taken seriously when even professionals dont care enough to help you
To realize that this is a thing other people go through is so comforting because those around me really struggled to understand what I was trying to describe. It feels real and valid now
being at school, look at the desk, feeling like I'm watching it in 3rd person, realize that I'm an human, struggle with understanding what I'm doing, recognize that I'm alive and that I'm doing a lesson, focusing on something else, feeling normal again
YEA this happened a couple weeks ago in church 😭 i was just setting there and i all the sudden started thinking this and my heart like dropped?? and my face got so hot and numb and it felt exactly like how i did when i got high which is what started all of this shit
That honestly sucks so bad. When I had depersonalization and derealization, I felt so fake and it made me feel so depressed. It's gone now but I can't imagine having it lifelong
I've had derealization since sixth grade... It feels like I'm in a simulation with "characters" and there's no exit button. Things as simple as fruits can look so strange to me at this time as well.
I know this just looks like a comment on video to you, but i assure you i am a real person with real thoughts and experiences. You aren't alone in the world.
Worst thing about dpdr disorder is that you can't feel beautiful things. Like , if you're trekking to some beautiful natural place or an exceptionally beautiful fountain in some skyscraper city , You can't feel shit. It just seems like you're watching some RU-vid video in high quality and shit. This is what I fucking hate fucking most about this shit. Even if I'd bought a luxury , car , it doesn't feels much amazing than simply feeling like you're in a moving box. And it's constant. Since years it's been fucking constant. I've now started to feel it as normal and think that's how my life's gonna be. My emotions are numb. Yeah but i can feel and understand people's feelings but not their emotions. It's literally made my brain numb.
Agreed. I don’t talk much about my diagnosis of DID because of how often people misunderstand... But DID sufferers experience both depersonalization and derealization so it’s a step in the right direction.
HERE’S THE FINAL CURE!! I had it for 5 years. Tried all sorts of pills and etc. , I tried this and I'm finally curing depersonalization/derealization. methodderealization.blogspot.com
This is different from dissociative identity disorder, which is when one has multiple identities ( or alters ), but is still part of the three dissociative disorders.
Being diagnosed with DID, BPD, adhd, and having an Infj personality type etc.. these videos and quora are the only way I genuinely come to connect with people and learn more about myself other than my off again on again therapy sessions. Thank you.

I had derealization for 4 months after a bad high i lived in constant panic thinking I would be like this forever. To anyone new to this it will eventually go away, stay strong.
With derealization, i will constantly feel like I'm dreaming. I don't forget where i am but i have to remember where i am if that makes sense, is that anyone else? Edit: omg I really didn't expect people to see this, but I'm so glad that I'm able to put it into words for some people, I know that was something that would drive me insane. Just not being able to put it into words. You guys aren't alone!
I feel the same, I even have trouble going outside because I feel like I will get lost, I have to remember myself that I'm on the street or in my house or I start to feel scared.
Tip: Dp Dr symptoms do NOT get worse. You will not go crazy. You are NOT alone. I’ve been dealing with this for a month now and Im learning to not fight it but to live with it and not think about it as much. I hope this helps someone.
I tried to not think about it, just like you. It was ok, but recently I get very stressed, and it became only worse. I cannot stop thinking about it, I feel like I’m going crazy. And I’ve had it for much more than a month…
@@skyeereenyou need to fight the cause, not the symptom. Mine has gotten a bit better after I get treated for my anxiety and depression, tho it still returns when I relapse sometimes.
I feel like I'm in the matrix or a dream, it's scary and I just wanna have my old life back EDIT: My life has gotten better since I made this comment about a year ago, I started going to therapy and it helped a lot. Anyone going through this like I did I just want to tell you it gets better, dont give up ever.
Alex its the red pill, there’s no going back, accept it, it is a gift, I have been in this state for 8 years, it was scary in the beginning but now that I have started meditation I have started to realise this is the evolution of my consciousness, getting into new dimensions. Feel lucky
It’s very nice to know that other people feel the same way as I do. Sometimes I look at my hands and I realize that my life is actually on, and I’m actually living and functioning and that’s my only purpose. Like I’m only here to breathe, and eat and sleep.
Depersonalization: 'woah wtf, i'm not in my body' Derealization: 'woah wtf, im not im my world' also, do you ever just depersonalize and you see that it looks like another person is using ur body and ur just lik
I remember yesterday , i was in my bathroom and there's huge mirror in there so , i took some time and stared my face and i was like "Is this me"? I tried hard but couldn't feel it was really me. I didn't believed it was my face. Very numb feeling it was.
@@dakshs9528 been there. It's almost as if your super realizing that you are in fact, a living, breathing human. Almost panic inducing tbh. If you take a second, and think about where you are in the world(as in telling yourself that your real) it's almost as if a flush of anxiety runs over you because you tried to wrap your head around existing without a purpose.
when I depersonalize it feels more like I’m in control but not really. I’m telling my arm to move but I really have no control. It feels like a tiny piece of my consciousness is in my body and the rest is just in the void
I don’t feel like everything is a dream, it’s that nothing feels real. Like I know everything around me is real, but it feels fake. I don’t really know how to explain it. Nothing’s distorted and objects are “normal” sized (?) idk
ive been experiencing both of these for about three weeks straight. it gets better and worse, with both derealization and depersonalization, but it hasn’t gone away completely. when you have either or both chronically, you can also feel severe fatigue, which isn’t mentioned in this video. its the worst part of it. everything is so much harder to do. i was a daily marijuana user for about four months straight, and one night it threw me into such a bad panic attack that I had to go to the er. when I got there, i expressed to them that i had really bad anxiety normally, but this was the first time I had ever had anxiety from marijuana. the medical staff laughed at me when they didn’t think i could see/hear them anymore. i was so convinced that i was going to die that it threw me into this state where i felt everything and nothing at the same time. there in that moment, i couldn’t express what i was feeling because i wasn’t sure how to describe it, but now that i can almost think with a level head, it’s exactly this. it’s incredibly hard to deal with, and if you’re going through it you’ll find it gets harder by the day. the constant fatigue, the dizziness, the sinking feelings, the disregard for emotions. i came back to my parents house after the initial incident, and i felt like i didn’t know my family. my family had always been everything to me, so in my opinion thats probably the second worst part. i’ve discontinued all drug use, tried to seriously limit stressors and anxiety, and set up therapy. the hardest thing to do, which you have to do to get out of it, is be patient and not obsess over the condition. when you’re constantly worried if its getting better or when it will get better, it won’t. if anyone has any questions or tips for someone who is currently experiencing this, please feel free to ask.
i became like this for years and still going, i'm literally a walking dream machine. Can understand but things come to mouth before going through my mind thats how it feels, sounds insane but im ok with this, i may recover in the future pieces of emotions that broke, or find someone who will trigger these things, but at this point i think its better to be like this, such emotions as love come with psin so for me, i don't want to risk it all for something that will make a worse me, maybe if i get s point where i can tank and prepare to manage emotions that are sleep, i will look for them, otherwise in this sad world we live in, its better to be disconected from most of it, so you don't suffer or care that much.
@@tekmerus2714 how u doing now ? I just started having this tonight. But I’m over thinking I just need to relax. Hope ur doing better! Scary huh? Just came outta know where
Helpful advice when you're experiencing depersonalization and derealization: 1. Count your fingers, do you have 10? ✔ 2. Count your toes, do you have 10? ✔ 3. What color is the sky, blue (or typical to your environment)? ✔ 4. What color is the grass, green? ✔ 5. Are you breathing? ✔ Grounding techniques like these help a lot, even in anxiety attacks, it reminds you that you're still here and breathing.
I have a depersonalization and derealization-disorder and I would say, that your advice just helps when you experiencing DR/DP for a couple of minutes and for the first or secound time - or something like that. If you have a disorder like me, every week, every day and every minute feels unreal and your grounding techniques doesn't help. :( Nevertheless I hope that you helped someone with your advice. :) I hope that one day I will live a normal life again. (Sorry for my bad english)
I've struggled with derealization since I was in early grade school. I use to keep my favorite stuffed animal in my backpack so it was on hand to keep me grounded. Touch always helped me and being able to snuggle with my stuffed loin help better then a trip to the school counselor. I hope this helps anyone who is currently struggling or knows a child who is. You are not alone
honestly i don’t even know wtf i have anymore, i just don’t feel real. i know i’m real, i know i exist, but it feels like nothing around me is real. none of my actions feel like they have consequence, nobody i talk to feels real. it’s like it’s just a movie, or a dream, and at any moment i can just wake up. everything just looks like a pop-up-book. not to mention, i really need help figuring out something that’s genuinely driving me crazy; i always feel watched. non-stop, every day, all day. it gets so bad that i have to hide under blankets or towels to avoid it, it’s like i’m constantly on a stage in front of hundreds of people. please give me a reason that this could be happening, and no, i cant seek out any help. i just need a reason so i can live normally for once.
Every time you think someone’s watching you, you add your own observation to the list. Then the person under the sheets who is thinking about all the staring eyes is really just looking at themselves. The crowd will get stronger and bigger unless you can take hold of who you are. I don’t understand why help isn’t available to you but saying it’s not there’s a few things that can help calm people down: Just have a drink of water - hydrate and breathe, become your most natural shell. Don’t try to assess the rationality because clearly you know it’s not rational and that fear of being irrational probably exacerbates the original fear. It’s like the fact you can’t sleep if you think of sleeping. Instead, try to imagine the thoughts your having as a river, a moving image that started without true cause. Being in the moment and just letting these thoughts be in your head without giving them weight, but just acknowledging it’s existence it will eventually subsidise. Sometimes it won’t and you’ll have to outlast the episode. I’m not sure what grounds you. For me, I used to become completely disillusioned and I would just tell myself it’s a time game - wait it out, I know who I am, this is just something that has attached itself to me but isn’t me. If none of these things help just know that there other people in the world in your shoes who got through it. We know it’s possible. I know it’s possible. Good luck, I hope you can reattach because I can tell you want to.
@@catfanciermonthly @Wilko This exchange between strangers was admired. Thank you both for your honesty and openness to acknowledge and reach out as well as listen and extend a hand to one seeking bit of peace. That was real :)
Im not good helping but if you didnt know, the 'feeling of being watched constantly' is called Truman's syndrome. People with this usually feel like their whole life is fake and are being watched by people behind a tv screen or stage. Btw its based off a movie
The other day I was talking to my therapist, and she told me that she would help me come back to my body and reality. That almost made me cry because I realized I don't really know how it feels like 😪 Everybody always told me I was really absent minded, and now I realized it was a defense mechanism
That defense mechanism doesn't help me most of the time because I think we should experience the disconnected feeling in moderations but I experience 24/7 even while typing this comment...
I have both of these disorders and it's really hard on me. Unlike depression where you can breifly forget it, you can't ever breifly get rid of DP and DR. It is going on all the time everyday and it makes it so hard to live life. I also do have depression and anxiety. It feels like I'm not a real person and my feelings don't exist.
Ill give you the cure. You'll feel better once you stop watching these. Stop researching. Your brain is tired. You need to stop looking at this. Just forget about depersonalizatoin and it will forget youn
@@wildnight5396 Even worse to be honest. I went from derealization to complete dissociation and stuff. It sucks. But thank you random youtube person for checking in on me. I had an awful day lol.
Sometimes I feel like I am in an RPG game in first person view. It's really weird. I feel like I'm floating and nothing is real. Talking/singing to myself helps becuase hearing my own voice makes me feel like I am real and the rest of the world is also real. I don't have any of these disorders tho. It only happens when I am tired/stressed.

I'm 14 and once Corona lockdowns started, I was coping by having full conversations and scenarios in my head because that was the only thing keeping me feeling like I was living a normal life. I felt so out of control of the whole pandemic and the reality in my head made me feel in control and helped my anxiety not get worse than it already was and get less depressed but I think I've created an overidealized world in my head where it feels like I constantly live in my head and the outside world is just an inconvenience. I hate this feeling so much because now that I've been interacting with the real world since things are opening up again, and I've just been so irritable and it doesn't feel like I'm living in the world, it feels like I'm just watching it. I hate it so much because it's made me so numb and instead of being able to enjoy the moments I'm in, I feel like I'm just wasting time in my head. I've been zoning out constantly and I don't know what to do. I really hope that once I'm fully back in school in person I kinda just get used to being in reality again but I'm typing all of this to ask if anyone's been through anything similar, what are some things that can help because I'm desperate at this point.
I'm 43 and bipolar. I have made up scenarios in my head and had conversations with myself for years. I used to think I was completely insane and I needed to be observed by a health professional or something. I was about your age when I was abused by my mom. Later in life, I was abused my partners but I'm now safe. What always helped me was writing. Since I made up so many scenes in my head, I started writing them down and creating plots and characters. In my spare time, I write short stories. Another idea would be to journal and get some feelings out. Write down your conversations or anything you like. Sometimes you can go back and re-read what you wrote later and it makes sense and you can sort of untangle the feelings you felt at the time. I have also learned to do yoga for grounding. This helps me breathe and relax when I'm feeling overwhelming anxiety. I am personally struggling with some severe anxiety at the moment so I have been doing some quiet poses and even some meditation. A lot of information and ideas can be found for free here on RU-vid as far as yoga and meditation are concerned. I also like Calm which is an app that helps me. I know how hard it is to be a teen and feel overwhelmed and confused. I wish you the best and hope I could be of some help. 🖤
This sounds a lot like Maladaptive Daydreaming(I could be thinking of something else, forgive me if the term is incorrect), if you have an adult you can trust I suggest talk to them about finding therapy if you think it would help. (I'm the same age as you, btw) Also I have a very similar experience - I knew I was always a daydreamer and always loved playing with dolls and action figures and stuff as a kid, but the way I did it felt a little different from everyone else, and I've always been in my head. Never once in my life have I had just a moment of clarity - and I think that's due to my ADHD, which I'm working on getting a diagnosis for, but it got so significant and noticeable when the pandemic hit and everything shut down My mom says she watched me and my sibling kind of close in on ourselves, hiding in a sort of shell, like a turtle🐢 My daydreaming is a bit different than the way you describe yours, for me I create multiple 'bubbles' of like different worlds, or alternate universes of the worlds of shows and movies I like - like a self-insert, but It's all in my head and I don't talk about it much.(there's no romance or anything though, I'm aro-ace) The one I've been 'building' and interacting with the most is ROTTMNT(Rise Of The TMNT), because it's my current hyperfixation - although it feels a lot more significant than a hyperfixation, so maybe special-interest is a better way of putting it. I kind of act out some of the scenes, and they repeat over and over again in my head as like a stim, and I often find myself pacing around the same room for extended periods of time, mostly at night, especially when I think of an idea to add or an interesting arch for one of the characters that I can intertwine in with the rest of the story.(so far I've never found any ending, and I don't really want it to end because I find comfort and joy in it, despite the anxiety that comes with the derealization that causes and/or amps up the feeling of the world not being real.) I could go on about this for a while about how these 'world bubbles' work and the way I view them, but unless you want to hear more, I think I've said enough. TL;DR: I can relate heavily. also I'm sorry for the giant wall of text /gen
I am going through the exact same thing as 16 year old. I want to stop pretending I live in an ideal made up world. Because I don’t experience the present happy moments of real life. It is torture…
I started having heavy derealization episodes when I was 10, it was really scary, I had no idea what was happening to me and even less of an idea on how to word or describe it. I'm glad videos like this exist now because when I did eventually discover that what I was going through was derealization there were only a very small and obscure handful of videos that talked about it. It really helped me later on to meet others that felt the same way, and it's really comforting to see everyone else commenting on this video with scarily similar experiences. God Bless
Same, mine started when i was like 8-10, it’s been a few years now, and it’s still not away. I have gotten used to it, but i still get lots of episodes.
@@jellyrose263 I don't have harsh episodes as often now. I don't know if I've ever come out of derealization or if I've just become so used to it I can hardly recognize it anymore.
The feeling of just hovering near your body. Floating like a soul. Looking around the area, constant thoughts of, why are we alive? who am i? Is it necessary to live? why do we survive? Whats the point of living at all? No one knows.
Thank you so much, this has been happening for a week I think mainly due to stress and I almost started bawling my eyes out in class from it, I think I was just so scared and it made me stressed out even more, now that I know there are thousands of people who feel the same way it makes me feel more comfortable
After a few traumatic events in my life I started experiencing depersonalization/dissociation. I felt like I was outside of my own body sometimes, looking into a bubble of reality from a very dark outside. I was disconnected from emotions, from people talking to me, it was hard to think and hard to remember anything while these episodes were happening, and I didn't even realize how bad it was until one day, the day of my uncle's funeral, I collapsed. In the moment I was simple walking, then a feeling, or rather a lack of feeling washed over me, and the world fell away and turned black. I lost control and sobbed, screamed, convulsed for what seemed like forever (later I learned it was 15-20 minutes). My father held me in his arms and I couldn't say a word. I felt so empty, so scared, "why is this happening to me?" I'd ask myself. After that throughout the rest of the summer I'd collapse, never losing consciousness but always losing control. Whether itd be lulling my head because of the inability to keep it up, or full on falling down and convulsing, I was trapped and broken. I experienced delusions of hands grabbing at me, pulling me down, voices haunting me with urges of suicide and self harm, a depression I thought I already escaped. I was hospitalized twice, the latest time being for five days very recently, and brought to the emergency room a countless amount of times. Eventually, I started seeing a psychiatrist, and she prescribed me Lithium which helped take away that awful depersonalization/dissociation. I still collapse sometimes, and it's surely a rollercoaster, but through the support of friends and family and treatment and God, I'm getting help. I'm getting better. Hopefully this can help someone and give hope that there is a way out and that this can't really just be left untreated. If it didn't help too much then I just hope it was an interesting read lol. God bless
@@FaultyTwo sorry for hijacking your joke, but to people that dissociate, like in the video, saying stuff like this can be really harmful? Even if it's just a joke to you, I know that if someone said that to me, I would genuinely question my reality and panic. I'm not trying to pick a fight, just to inform you
Does someone remember being like “clicked” into those conditions? idk how to exactly explain. I was at school,talking to some good friends gettinf ready to go home (as I usually did it by myself on foot). I was sitting, and as soon as I got up i felt i was transfered to a mind state where i was seeing my life but felt like i sat in a couch inside my head and started watch myself do everything and get aware of every single movement in my body making it feels weird. That was when i was about 9/10,and now Im 18. U just kinda learn how to deal with it, but sometimes still can get very scary. (sorry for some mistakes i may have made due to bad english :P)
Yes, I was just sitting in my chair one day in my room and I was just looking around and I just started thinking so hard about everything and just felt like I was going insane, so I had just forced myself to go to sleep. This was boutta a year an half ago
Yeah, I was at a camp and all of a sudden everything just felt kind of fake, like I was dreaming. And that everything around me was slightly blurry and distorted, but not really. And it felt like all of my actions and all of the words coming out of my mouth wasn't controlled by me. It lasted the week of camp and into a day or two when I got home. I was terrified it would last forever but I eventually got back into my normal headspace. I can't imagine you having to live your life for years in that state of being.
Yeah, I used to have a horrible feeling of “I’m going to wake up-“ or “What if this is a dream and I have to do the real thing in a few minutes?” Whenever I’d get out of school. And there would aways be a huge pit in my stomach and everything felt,, gooey
Yes! I was like 10 years old (so 35 years ago) and our family was just getting out of the car to go into the science museum in Toronto and the next moment I'm just spectating myself going through the motions like a 3rd person perspective but with input where I saw fit. I literally snapped into "Spectator Mode" in a blink of the eye. It lasted for 2 months. I had a manipulative and abusive stepmother that had appeared in my life in recent months and I suspect that snapped some connection in my adolescent little brain at the time. I know I intentionally kept the unsettling experience secret (unsettling in hindsight; it wasn't at the time because I was by definition 'detached' kinda just spectating) because I especially didn't trust her to not exploit it to try vilifying me to my dad as was her favorite pastime. It was the first of a host of childhood psychological difficulties to come that didn't abate until young adulthood, all of which I 100% lay at her feet. She was a monster garbage person, and from what I'm told she never changed and leaves a trail of misery and destruction behind her to this day.
I had one of the most severe cases of this I had ever had . Had to admit myself . I was on the brink constantly . Thankfully talking to people and keep going on with each day helped me so freaking much. To anyone struggling IT GETS BETTER . I have severe PTSD and that got better to . I know you all will just believe even if you can’t function rn . I have been there
I have depersonalization. I noticed it when I was in my 13s. Some things that help is looking in the mirror a lot so you can get used to how you actually look like and it doesn't feel like you're a stranger. When you feel numb or feel like you're not in control of your body, rub your hands together and be aware of the things you touch so that you can see you're in control and feel things.
@@archival_cryptid I know a better way to use mirrors. Get a small mirror (handheld) and look at things through it! Get close to the mirror and look around you through the reflection. Don't look at YOUR reflection, look at THINGS. Your brain should be engaged because you don't typically see things inverted. That means it's actively processing your surroundings. It's not a cure, but it provides some sense of REALIZATION. Haha
@@archival_cryptid Also, search up Wake Therapy. This here is gold! Basically sleep deprivation does stuff to your hormone levels and "resets" your brain. It isn't a cure. Usually it's for depression, but it has done wonders for my dissociation. Once you snooze, you lose as your hormones return to their base levels. I stay up with the help of a strong dose of coffee at night. Once again I really, really recommend you look into this! And try it!
I Love how Psych2Go tells everything in such a calm pleasant way! It's very healing and beautiful to listen to. I have struggled with symptomes of both depersonalization and derealization. It can occur from moment to moment but it's key to stay calm and focused and to let go you're feelings. I know intense feelings can feel very strange at first, but with progression and enough will power you can win this battle.
What if it’s not a “disorder” but the way my brain helped me survive? What if being able to escape to a kinder place was what I needed. I trust my brain to let me know when I am ready to remember. It’s got me this far. I will show gratitude rather than label it dysfunctional. I will think with positivity so I can live a highly-functional life. My brain did the best it could and it’s still working hard to keep me alive. The pursuit for answers that brings me here is my brain helping me to survive. It could have given up a long time ago, but something keeps me fighting for true inner peace. I did what I had to do to survive and live another day. The ability to escape myself was a gift. I shudder to imagine if I had nowhere to run and nowhere to go. When the world grew cold and dark, I had a safe place filled with love and light. Now that I’ve studied complex and chronic PTSD, I understand what can happen to those who are never able to free their minds of the pain in any way. Maybe my inside world wasn’t real to anyone else... but if it felt real and it helped me live another day, why is that so awful. Why not forgive myself? Why not go easy on my brain? If I think about it... when I needed someone to love me and everywhere I turned I found more pain and abuse, my mind took hold of me and yanked me into a better place so I wouldn’t break. Then when it was safe, it let me return. That to me sounds like a hero. Maybe my incredibly, complicated and beautifully delicate mind is making a heroic effort to keep me here because I am needed and loved and wanted. Maybe I am the hero I desperately needed but never got in the “real” world. The world says “mental disorder.” I call it my “super power.”
It IS a coping mechanism (especially for children since they have a "more active imagination" and it can be a response to neglect and abuse) but it gets out of hand sometimes and becomes a HUGE problem.
Having depersonalization is a TERRIBLE experience! I'm constantly having it since I was 13 (I'm 19 now). Once I had it all day every day for more than a week. I can't remember any of the things I did, said and learned because I can't assimilate anything, even though I'm watching myself doing things.
i’m 19 too, and have had this 24/7 (mostly derealization) for about a month now. i often think i’m going crazy or am going to have a mental meltdown and/or black out and like ruin mine and other peoples lives or somwthing
same but when I was 10 and I'm 15 now although it's about identity for me I dissociated from reality and time too but then idk if it's depersonalization. I can't even know which dissociate disorder I have and it is annoying 😞
I learned a lot this week! I just got over my depersonalization! I haven’t been feeling like myself since i can remember 😅. I’m starting to feel truly happy
Vivian Viti don't loose hope, I'm still having dp/dr and in my experience (about 7 years now) you need to live healthy, get enough sleep, eat your veggies etc and try to accept it, that made it much more bearable. Maybe mindfulness can help you it worked a little bit for me. wish you luck!
If it's recent, it will probably just go away. Try to not focus on it and aknoledge that it is most likely a symptom of anxiety. If the feeling is to umbearable, seeing a therapist can be a good option. But even if it doesn't go away, after a while you learn to live with it and it isn't scary anymore
from my own experience .., here what helped me -Dog -meditation -try to mange everything stresses u and not run away from it ( but in baby steps nothing comes in a blink of a eye) -socialize -get out and have fun with ppl u trust\ -understand that this will pass -sports like running... -cuddle/funny videos can lower ur stress level too :) - focus one thing at time and practice mindfullness im not an expert but .. ive experienced it for like 2 years and im improving .. step by step .. u can do it !!
I’ve been diagnosed with both of these, along with gender dysphoria and anxiety and I’m currently working on exposure therapy to help. Today I made a huge step in this, so trust me, anyone who has this, it gets better. I love you
im also suffering from derealisation, gender dysphoria and anxiety and im actually also in exposure therapy! its great to know im not alone and i hope this makes u feel that way too. like u said, it gets better :)
I've been through a tiny month of depersonalization/desrealization when changing meds and, I can't imagine the hell it must be having those episodes with dysphoria, you can't trust your brain at all. Like, I got terrified of going into public areas because what if in the middle of an episode I looked like a crazy person, letting object fall, gazing at my hands, standing in front of my reflection for too long... Much love and support for all of you, everything gets better with time, even faster if you actively work on it. Keep it up 💪🏼
I experienced temporary derealization and depersonalization after suffering several life traumas and then had a major a triggering moment caused by an intense cannabis high. I smoked, had a huge panic attack and woke up in what I describe as a dream like state where my environment seemed fake. You almost feel like a spirit. I initially thought I was dead. My reflection in the mirror was distorted and i didn't recognize myself in pictures or passing reflections. This lasted about 3 months. Certain environments such as malls, grocery stores, parties, places where stimuli was extreme, set my symptoms off so badly that id basically become incapacitated. If you are going through it and have never experienced anything like it before, you will feel so frightened and alone. How do you express your feelings to family or friends? Its a helpless feeling... But know you are not alone. Many have had it and many after you will as well. The more primitive parts of our brain express themselves in these situations. Our ancestors must have needed to disconnect from traumas in order to survive. I found out that the symptoms were caused by anxiety. Once I addressed my anxiety, the derealization went away slowly. For those who are looking for a cure, Id say be patient, go to the doctor to get help with anxiety, even try an anxiety calming medication for awhile. It will get better. You just need to keep yourself grounded in the moment.
I had a similar experience when I had an intense cannabis high as well. @Psych2go if you see this, do you have any info on drug induced depersonalization? Also Wisc, have you quit cannabis because of it? It was a useful stress relief before the depersonalization occured, but I'd rather not feel like a robot again.
Henry I smoked a few times after and it usually triggered anxiety because I was afraid that I would trigger the DP/DR again. So I decided it was best to quit. So, its up to you.
I have been heavily affected by derealization for 12 years now, I’m currently 23. I’ve done a great job managing it all these years but it’s still always there and it bums me out. I have depression that comes and goes and the combination of depression and derealization is a recipe for no motivation. It’s just so hard to care about/do things in a world that I feel so disconnected from. I’ve come to terms with my derealization and didn’t let it bother me too much and even embraced it and accepted it as a unique ablility in a way for many years, but lately I just feel like I’ve missed out on my own life. I’ve been living in this desaturated version of what my own life is supposed to be/feel like. Also my memory of my life is very spotty. I don’t remember too well what the world felt like before dr, but I do remember I felt present in the world and reality felt stable. I just want that againnnnnnn ugh, coping every day is tiring
I understand you, I'm 15. You feel like you're just being suffocated and unable to see clear. I can't remember a lot either, I miss being able to look up at the sky and think clearly and love it. I know this is not living, I'm so sorry you had to live like that. It's a horrible feeling and I hate it. I haven't been diagnosed, because I don't talk about it. I don't treat it like it's a big deal.. but maybe it is.
i completely understand you. i’m so sorry you feel like that. i’ve had it for a few months and i really hope and pray it goes away. it’s genuinely depressing because i feel like i cant even enjoy life anymore. when i do anything fun that i would normally enjoy doing, i cant even enjoy it because i am constantly thinking about it. i have never been so depressed it’s terrible. i hope we can all get over this shit, it sucks.
You have a book on derealisation where the cardinals from Vatican have hired few writers to make a fictional writer to reveal third secret of Fatima and suppressed realities from the diary of St. Faustina. There you can actually learn about true sources of derealization, and how to destroy it completely - there is a prayer you can learn to pray that destroys derealization if you pray every day. If the prayer destroys this, then its diabolical in nature, as is schizophrenia. It is prayer of divine mercy, or rosary of divine mercy. You can find that prayer on internet, and in that book also in the first chapter. SPREAD THE CHAIN OF INFORMATION ON THIS TO DESTROY DEREALIZATION AND SET THE CAPTIVES FREE.... if it helped you then spread the chain of this book....rosary made me free from derealization completely... thats what makes a difference - when you have a derealization you just know that you can never break free from it, and when this prayer frees you once, and you get that opposite feelling that you just dont have it anymore, then you can see how wrong you were, and that something was done to you......................................
I'm 13 and I believe I have both of these, but more on the derealization side. Everything seems to have a blurry filter on it, like a foggy feeling/look. It feels like I'm watching a movie, except in first person. Everything feels so... staged and set up, kind of like that movie the Truman Show. I can't even concentrate in class sometimes because I feel so detached from everything. I also have deja vu, like almost everyday, at random times.It's really scary.
Ok wow that sounds really weirdly similar to some things I experience. If you don't mind me asking, is the deja vu of real events that actually happened? Or does it feel like you're remembering something but you know it couldn't have happened?? It's ok if you don't want to answey
@@Sarah-ko3mx yeah thats exactly how it is. like sometimes ill go to a new place, and it feels like i have been there before. like i have this wierd "memory" of a log in a jungle, and then i hear this rumbling, and then and scurry on top of it and then the "memory" ends
Hey just wanted to drop in and say that I went through something very similar. I was confused and scared at first but think of it as a gift. Look into Kundalini, if not that's cool, have a fantastic day!
I relate to this alot. i also struggle with derealization everyday and it never seems to stop. Im 17 and I got it from doing too many drugs, specifically weed. I thought they were just "high thoughts" at first but slowly started to realize that i felt high whenever i was sober and alot of the time it feels like im in a dream. I start to focus on oddly specific things in conversation and everyday life such as a phrase someone says or something on tv and ill start to think alot and overanalyze it. whenever this happens i just try to ignore it and ground myself in reality by counting things, looking somewhere else, do something with my hands, etc. the more you understand it the better you'll feel about having it and the better you'll get at ignoring it. anyway i wish you luck and i hope this helped.
I sometimes feel like I’m trapped in my life.. I’m very aware of the world around me but I feel like I’m stuck on this planet in a situation that will never be solved and it’s depressing I mostly feel this way when I’m alone
Anyone ever ask themselves sometimes “How am I able to see everything from my point of view?” It sounds like a silly question, but for me, sometimes it’s weird to think about.
When I was a kid I used to think all the time that life shouldn't be experienced in first-person, something about being the protagonist or the POV of a story made me feel very uneasy
I can’t stop thinking about how my eyes work and some reason I feel like I see out of my forehead or that my brain is making all the decisions… idk what it is but everything starts to feel like a cartoon or something man it’s rlly hard to explain
Finally! After all these years to finding what the hell is wrong with me, and why i think that irl is a movie! But in a first person View and everything is just a made up or just stuck in a dream!!!✨ Thank god! Bless this channel, this channel helps me(and others too) alot!💕✨
I get these “fits” (I don’t want to call it that) where everything sort of fuzzes out and the world is both too fast and too slow at the same time. It’s too blurry and too sharp. I don’t know if this is derealization or not
That’s derealization yeah. I feel my mind get really fuzzy, like I can’t properly concentrate on things, like talking. I see things happen in front of me, but they don’t entirely register. I was in a car crash the other week and it didn’t even feel like I’d been in a car crash, it just didn’t seem to register. It registered that my friend could have been hurt, but it didn’t really register that I was in danger. I was in the front passenger seat.
I used to get that a lot when I was younger. It felt like everything was really clear but everything was moving in slow motion?? But I don't really get that anymore. Now I just feel like i'm dreaming or like I'm "not here/real" like all the time. I don't wanna self-diagnose, but idk? 🤷♀️
I have those too. It usually happens when I'm tired. But sometimes it's random. I don't realize it happened until it's over. Then it's like thinking of a dream but I can remember all the details. I haven't had a really bad one in a while. But I do get the fealing of me/the world not being real, constantly. Realizing that I actually am here and real is almost as scary as the episodes themselves.
I was having derealization when I was at a retreat when a teenager. Everything felt almost dreamy and my hands didn’t feel like mine. I felt this way and ran into the bathrooms, then having an anxiety attack because I didn’t know what was going on and why I was so dizzy. I didn’t rlly understand that I had derealization and I didn’t know how to explain to my friend why I was crying bc- i didn’t rlly know how to answer it. Watching this video and hearing you describe it makes the memory and feeling more clear now. Love your videos!!💖💖💖
Omg this describe my whole life. This is exactly how I feel and have Always felt. I just thaught I was weird or something. It's great to Finally know When I told my dad once by mistake he taught I was making it up for attention or something. But I have just never told anybody about it.. Feels like no one understands
jenniferahgren !me, since I was a child. I assumed EVERYONE, felt the same. Then I mentioned it to some friends in convo over the years and apparently not. Like, when I'm doing my makeup, I only look at that one part of my face in the mirror, brows, lips, lashes as all together, it just doesn't make sense and scares me. Reading through comments, a lot of people have found relief by seeking psychologist or CBT etc which is hopeful.
When you talked about depersonalization, I thought I was alone at this.. I often feel like my kegs are just moving by their own. I hear things that aren't there, and I just feel myself in a totally different place. I've felt physical feelings, too. Like someone groping my hand or neck
it is currently 5:02 AM, I am in the East Coast (NJ), currently laying in bed and have finally found the name for this. I woke up and had a panic attack and decided to actually start acknowledging and looking more into this feeling/sentiment that I have been going through. It is not often I read “symptoms” online and then I start to wonder maybe I have this. But this, this is so spot on. I am glad to have finally attach a name and proper way to describe to what I have been in the last few years.. it is time for me to seek help. Also, I second that to the spacing out and sipping back into reality while driving comments.
I have very high anxiety and trauma. I can be completely for one day, next thing you know, the thought suddenly hits me: "Is any of this real?" I'm just now recovering from daily depersonlizating after 2 months of going through that hell. My hands actually felt numb, because I just couldn't get myself to grasp onto reality. I could hear the cars, but they sound so..off. I could hear people, but I didn't understand the language anymore, despite how I ALSO knew what they were saying. I would stare at people, wondering if this person is just some figment of my imagination. This isn't the first time this happened, and this definitely isn't the last.
That’s EXACTLY how I feel and I really don’t know how you could explain it so well. It’s so hard to put this into words. Thank you for sharing and greetings from Spain❤️
i used to experience derealization a lot when i was younger but ive always described it as "feeling fuzzy". it always made me feel so uncomfortable and it was kind of frustrating because other people couldn't understand what i was feeling.
@@КристиянТрънбашев-ш6г i did experience confusion but im not sure about happiness. it would just be very dream-like and i couldnt manually "switch off" the state so it really annoyed me.
I've been fighting what seems like a losing battle with depersonalization for about two years now. ive been struggling with a violent addict in the family who I care about and I've had to see them constantly interchange between either a hospital prison or just on and off the the street. I feel like I can help them but it feels like the more I care the more I get hurt when they relapse again. this has made me feel like I have been slowly losing grip between myself and reality. I've looked towards my parents toblean on support for this but I live part time with my mother and father due to one of them working abroad most of the time, I feel like I can't vent towards my mother since she is also recovering and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder. whenever I watch videos like this it helps me come to terms with a struggle that I have a hard time putting into words and gives me a small glimmer of hope for a better near future.
literally as you were explaining depersonalization i felt it shiver through my body. ive always described this feeling to people that it felt like i was a balloon attached to my body. it is a constant thing i battle everyday...i feel sick now 🙃😫
I am so relieved that I found this, I thought I was the only one with these crazy thoughts. I’ve been through this at a young age for a week or two, and it has come back. Sometimes in the middle of the day, I watch myself thinking about how I can see everything in the first person, our brains are crazy...
