I hear you. I feel this exact same way. At least we know this isn’t forever. It feels like forever but we’ll make it out of this. Watching these videos is really helping me honestly just knowing I’m not crazy or the only person has helped me. I’m here if you need to talk ❤️
Reality is just electrical signals interpretated by your brain. You don't see it but you perceive it in your brain.....In your brains visual cortex......that's located in a tiny dark place at the back of your brain.....even YOU and your loved ones are just your brains interpretation. All your senses are just electrical signals. You hallucinate everything you know and love inside your head. Me and everyone else is just programmed by your brain to act as if we are real but nope....you have subconsciously wrote this comment also. I am you and so is everyone else. I hope that puts you at ease Sleep well 😉
10/4 we all already through it from a whiles no one on planet still normal the words about to get remove from dictionnairy from language erase from reality! 🤪
@@ahriman46 I play video games, eat some pretty bad foods, I don't really go out because of covid-19 and Im bored a lot inside and my mind feels like it wants to disconnect from reality. Being home all year made it hard to feel normal. My anxiety went up. Other day I had some intrusive thoughts but they left. Then yesterday I felt nothing like nothing my left chest felt empty and Im like is this how it feels to be normal? and then at night I started shaking because Im like "am I gonna feel like this forever?" I dont even remember how it feels to be happy, good and normal and I get scared like I don't wanna die as a teen. Im scared that I will go crazy if I disconnect from reality. I sometimes feel like humans even look weird.
@@maytegonzalez6444 SAME. i feel the exact same things as you...I’ve been feeling so disconnected for the last six months and I’ve had intrusive thoughts for about a year :/ don’t hesitate to reach out to a therapist! I’ve waited for so long but I’m finally gonna tell my therapist at my next appointment
Hi Anxiety Ninja/DPDR Guy. I don't know if you remember me, but I still remember you! You helped me 2 years ago, when I was feeling derealized and depersonalized. I'm all okay now, I will not forget you.
In my experience, the recovery process just naturally happens. I’m definitely still feel symptoms but over the course of time you start to care less about feeling normal and worry more about what you want out of life (which is actually your form of normal or connection). Just keep going and stay strong !
@@Dave.mcclinton I hade dpdr for 2 years. Before any videos were on it. You will feel normal again. You have to fight for it. And seek any medical help to relieve your anxiety
@@BHarveyProductionappreciate the response my brother question did you ever have any emotional problems as symptoms like emotionally numb and body numbness?
To anyone who's been despretaly looking for an answer/reassurance because you thought you were literally going crazy and alone, YOU'RE NOT ALONE. It's the most isolating frightening feeling ever. But trust me, it fades away !!! The last thing i could think of when i was going through it is the actual possibility for this to go away, it felt impossible, i felt stuck and trapped therefore going crazy. But eventually it started fading way, just go with it, dont fight or resist it, dont overthink it, i know it's difficult to do this while you're going through it but you CAN, resisting it only makes your anxiety spike even more, try to distract yourself with the things that you like to do etc, go on with your life normally,dont obsess over it please, you will feel like yourself eventually,patience is key. (Also thank you so much for this video, it was extremely helpful and reassuring ❤)
I’m so scared right now, I’m trying my hardest to find something to help! I feel like a different person. I hate it so much! Wish me luck ;-; I’ll do an update
This is the scariest time of my life. Going through this for the past 9 months and everyday feels the same and waking up from a sleep is the worst. I don’t know what’s it and I feel like committing a suicide until I realize I’m not alone in this.
I remember what normal feels like. I thought derealization had something to do with my eyes. I got eye surgery. Nothing changed. I was in a situation of a lot of anxiety for a long time and it became autopilot mode. My derealization derived into maladaptive daydreaming. Thoughts that give me pleasure and help me escape reality. Very similar to an addiction that I can't beat because the root cause is so deeply embedded. Loneliness. Abandonment. It's very hard to connect to reality. To be normal. I want to feel love from someone.
Hi there, read UR post & totally understand everything you say. I’ve been in this state 12 yrs & no Therapy has helped and some made me worse. Have you recovered? I’d like to know if U have & what helped you. I’ve severe Trauma and CPTSD- Residential Trauma Care was recommended 12 yrs ago yet it’s the only Treatment I’ve not had due to the cost for a few months of intensive therapy that treats the Whole Person. I’ve no help, no support, can’t think or make life decisions & feel hopeless & nowhere to turn...💔 I pray U found help & I’d appreciate any info U have as to if Uve recovered Love & Hugs, Diane😇
anyone else feel disconnected from there emotions like you can’t feel love n affection or sadness , like my brain can’t connect to reality so i can’t feel emotions cause of that
@@anonymouscommenter4586 still tryin, when you connect with ppl like no weird stuff but like say a girl grabs ur hand or sum i try and connect what i’m supposed to feel when that happens and i can actually feel something. I’ve jus been goin to school and interacting with friends n stuff and it’s helping a lil bit
With u bro. Act like nothing is happening trust. Trust your body to do what it needs and try not to overthink things. The reason this is happening because when u got high, you were fighting the high. Now ur body is in flight or flight mode because it cant decide what is real and what is on thc. Allow your body to do the work u jisy gotta feel calm
Even with this being so common, it still feels mentally draining and it doesnt help the process at all. I feel so lost and incapable of coming back, im so bipolar and randomly i feel lost and the public feels so dream like
@@hungryburger6195 surprisingly im recovering well, a lot better than id expected to tbh, its not impossible to recover and i learned that through experience
@@hungryburger6195 trust the process. Stop thinking all the time, go out and enjoy living (get some fresh air hang out with friends and family), stop being by yourself as much as possible in secluded areas to ger your mind off things, getting physical activity Anything that keeps you moving and not sitting still and thinking, dont sit in your situation and let yourself rot in agony, its gonna get better and its not gonna be a smooth ride
@@hungryburger6195 its gonna be one bumpy and bipolar ride, one moment youll think youre recovering and a week later youll think youre going back to having no progress, keep a positive mind and keep pushing through, stay positive and keep thriving man
I am 100% on board with this. I've become so used to being in this anxiety state that "normal" feels abnormal. So I understand. I'm with all of you family ❤
@@billiejodix4560 do u have a good strategy to recover because all my days are bad I don't even know what good day means anymore it more like good moments for like 30 minutes a day then I go back to my endless loop of unreality😅
This is so uplifting. I went through some of the worst months of my life and still go through stages to this day. IT GETS BETTER. it feels so lonely and like you are losing control of your mind but please as a “survivor” of this if you will, it gets better. it may take time, it may take life adjustments, maybe some trial and error. but it works! and this channel is complete gold for discussing issues like this, i really respect and appreciate the content bro
I had an instance, about at most 5 seconds, I felt back in reality. I was like “what is this, is this anxiety?”. But it was just such clarity and honesty eye opening. I crave that again and I am determined to get there so it’s 24/7. Of course my anxiety is trying to doubt what I experienced was just something else or a different anxiety. But no, everything was so clear and different, that is what “normal” feels like. Progress!!
Same! I was just sitting in my history class around a month ago and after 3-4 years of not feeling “normal” I just randomly felt more grounded for around an hour and then I just went back to feeling less grounded
I really like your approach of explaining this and these words are very encouraging. So I'm currently trying to recover from a panic disorder, and after 4 months of pretty much constant derealisation, I experienced being "normal" again. Have no clue why it happened, just sort of woke up and felt great. I was thinking this exact way (and honestly sometimes still am), but I feel my "top ceiling" of overall well-being is raising and the same goes for the "bottom-ceiling". So yeah, whoever is reading this, just know that yes, this is the toughest battle of your life, and yes, it seems like it'll never get better, but trust me this, as someone who has been thinking this exact thing, IT DOES GET BETTER. Keep fighting - every day, day by day, and you'll start to feel like you're going somewhere. Take this "opportunity" to change yourself for the better, learning more about your body and mind, and then one day, we'll be able to live life to the fullest once again. Keep fighting guys, we've got this!!
@@mrpurposeless5971 I have actually gotten through a lot of it. I ended up checking into therapy, after the diagnosis of DP/DR, I got a medical check as well to rule out anything medical, I was doing therapy 3x a week and the panic attacks came less and less and I was able to connect to my surroundings a lot better and quicker than I was expecting. Therapy is totally worth it and I’ve also started medications for anxiety as well. I still have moment of derealization because those are from anxiety and dissociation more than anything but they’re handled much much better, there is hope 100%
Has anyone else been searching up different mental health things like schizophrenia & serious things like that because you just don’t know what’s going on ?? 😫 like guys I’m so tired I have this huge fear of slipping from reality… I could literally cry from typing this & im a man I’m built to hide my emotions… that says something… I’m just mentally exhausted 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
I’ve been dealing with constant Dp/Dr for about 8 years now, I had lost hope but the other day I got my first sleep paralysis and as soon as it stopped I had a 30 sec of feelings normal. It was the most euphoric and best 30 seconds of my life I think, that’s what after 8 years gave me back hope, cause I had a proof that I am able to feel connected again.
@@kenwrik Maybe you're still trying to fight it in some ways. Your sub-consicous might be still processing a traumatic event that happened. So sorry for you.
I’m been feeling so out of reality since 2019 when I was in highschool, I was not taking care of my Body and passed out. After I woke up I have been feeling like this for over a year after it happened. People have told me they understand how I feel, or have felt the same when I reach out the people about it. Trust me when I say this prayer really helps me. Just giving my worry and fear to God.
I have tried things like listening to loud music, feeling cold things, smelling things that are strong to try to use my senses and they help temporarily
I had it happen to me through smoking a whole blunt as a non smoker. I went for a run in the forest after 2 days without my phone/music and it went away. Maybe this will help you.
Been living with DR for over 16 years now... I'm 35. I honestly don't remember what normal feels like, and DR became my new normal a very long time ago. It's sad and hopeless, but I'm glad you're sharing this video. I have yet to give up hope. I'm determined to get to some semblance of normal again.
I'm so young and I have this. I've had it for 4 years now and im honestly done trying to fight it. I'm just gonna live. I can't keep myself from living my youth because of this. I'm not even afraid of having forever. I dont care. Yeah it does suck but when I die it will go away. I've forgotten what being in touch with reality and I feel like I've been like this my whole life even though I haven't. I'm done fighting. I'm just gonna live.
I just had a break from my dr. Your video allowed me that. Your guidance on this is so encouraging that I felt that incredible feeling of not being disconnected for a moment and there’s nothing to describe how incredible it is.
A great term I heard recently was a ‘glimmer’ which is the opposite of a ‘trigger’. It’s a little window into what a return to normal connectedness is like!
I have the exact same thing and if any of you do aswell like it feels like a permanent high and like dizzy and lightheaded 24/7 I found out what can help is not constantly telling your friends because they really don’t care but to get your mind off things by staying occupied and busy find new hobbies and try to stay happy
How do you feel now? i had a bad trip yesterday but it wasn’t like any other one i’m guessing it was this... i remember stoners talking about feeling this way at least some time in your life but i always thought it only happened to ppl that weren’t in a good state of mind
@@cruzyt9536 any drug with psychoactive effects can cause dpdr in easily susceptible people. even if you are in a good state of mind and it feels as if it shouldn’t be effecting you. it’s not your fault and it could happen to anyone. the good thing is though that it is not permanent no matter how it is brought on. its a variable condition and as long as you break the thought patterns contributing to it, it will fade away completely over time. easier said than done though for sure :)
@@cruzyt9536 im not sure if you’re feeling better or not but if it makes you feel better, you’re not alone. im still dealing with it as well after a similar experience to yours. it does get better. right now im facing a setback but i can tell you that i was improving a lot which shows that you can recover
@@jacesnowberger4986 any advice I smoked a new strain a few days ago and this is exactly have I've felt I know I'm not in the best state of mind I struggle with depression but this is a completely different feeling it gives me anxiety just thinking about it I keep zoning out doing things I feel as tho I'm somewhere I'm not supposed to be
Jordan thank you for helping me. Our one on one session really helped me regain my confidence. After suffering with dpdr for 5 years I can truly say I feel fantastic!!!! I FEEL FANTASTIC!!!!! God bless you bro and God bless everyone who's struggling with dpdr. Stay positive!!!
Ever since ive done weed ive felt like this. Its been like 7 months but I tell you, it has gotten sooo much better. I can only hope for this to continue and to finaly feel normal. Im saying this because this does get better. Practice meditation and calmness and overall just stop thinking so much.
I normally don't really comment on videos but i just wanted to let you know how much better this video made me feel and how much to look forward to it gave me. Just 2 weeks ago out of nowhere I had a huuuuge breakthrough when it comes to DP after YEARS of experiencing it. Although it constantly got better over time, this time there was just a switch that clicked. And even though I'm still not completely through it i'm all of a sudden making rapid progress. To the people reading this: He's right, you WILL know when you're back im reality. It's such a huge difference. Like, you can't miss it, it's impossible. And this is coming from someone who probably was as deep in it as one could be with no hope of revovery ever. I wish everyone here strength and a speedy recovery. It's the most terrifying thing i have ever experienced but i've gotten through it (or will have soon) and so can you. ONE ❤️
I still can feel anger, envy, jealous, joy, and fun. But there’s something about my visual’s off.. I already had an eye check up earlier and they found out nothing wrong. Is this still depersonalization? :)
depersonalization has made my vision really weird. i think that’s because when your body is experiencing dpdr, your pupils dilate and your mind is constantly “on the look out” for a threat or outside danger. this can make ur brain really tired and make your vision seem blurry or cause you to see floaters and other weird visual effects. i’ve been dealing with it for 3 months and sometimes it gets worse but then it gets a little bit better. but just like you, i’m getting some emotional feelings back. thankfully.
YESS it feels like as if everything’s is fake, you’re not alive, YOU SEE stuff but it’s like, t doesn’t look the same anymore. It looks like stuff is unfamiliar or like you’re in a movie.
Yesssss thank you someone who I can relate to so you still have this if not how did you make it stop plx answer I’m 16 and it’s getting me really worried
@@rahilkhan9740 i think, I’m getting back to myself. But there’re are moments when i feel extremely dissociative from myself and reality. Thanks for asking!
Mindfulness meditation will connect you back to reality its gonna take time though. you brain is constantly running away from present moment to avoid these fears which looks to us as derealization.
Mindfulness meditation, you might end up doing it without meaning. We all know how to do it, we probably did a good part of our lives and never noticed. Don't force it
Your video's helped me a lot! I have DP/DR for 5 years now... and never realized where it was coming from. So i started doing breathing techniques and noticed my body feels very stressed for a longtime. After 5 years i realized my DP/DR is triggered by stress and stress triggers anxiety for me, and i'm just amazed what 3 days of breathing exercises did for me. I feel way more connected. Feeling normal is getting closer and closer, I CAN FEEL IT! :D Thank you for helping! and for anyone that's struggeling right now! Stay strong! You'll overcome it!
The problem for me is that i've been feeling this way since i was 5-6 y.o. and i don't remember the first 2-3 years of my life that much. Because of this, It feels like I've never felt normal... I am 23 right now so I've been feeling like this for 17-18 years. It sucks, i hope i start feeling normal and connected at some point in my life. I can't even imagine how peaceful that would make me feel. I'll talk about this with my therapist and hopefully she can help me. Thank you for this channel, i was not sure about what i was going through until I found you. Please keep doing what you are doing
Thank you. Sincerely. I am close to tears and I am only 3 minutes in. I have always struggled with anxiety and OCD my whole life, dealing with derealisation as a side effect of these issues. I am currently going through a phase of derealisation and my anxiety is through the roof - questioning the meaning of life, why life is the way it is/looks the way it is and it makes me feel crazy. But I'm glad to see an explanation for it which is explained so simply!
Guys listen I just wanna say, I was drugged back in July of 2020 I am 18 about to be 19 and yes I’m still dealing with dpdr plus hppd. But I do not let this stuff scare me. Remember either you control it or it controls you, be patient and grow with time my friends I know it’s hard and I know you wanna break down but continue to live life and do what makes you happy, go to the gym. Go out the house. Go to work talk to people get it off your mind you will be okay. And this is coming from someone still facing through this battle with you saying this. Do not let it take your life. Let it grow you, I love y’all say strong and god bless ❤️
Ugh, this is so me! I have no idea what it’s like to relax. I had a panic attack last night because I thought I was dying. I know better to google symptoms but I did it anyway. 🙄 found this channel this morning, I am feeling a little hopeful! I can’t wait to learn more and beat this!
I feel like recognizing things don’t feel right is part of the problem, I know my mentality and why I go through a loop of feeling like I’m dreaming and it makes me feel sick but it’s fine, I’m just overthinking.
I'm here to claim my Lamborghini!! Now seriously, this video was incredibly helpful, to me the most helpful information I've come across. You made me realize I'm stuck in freeze response. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Also I'll admit, I had to rewind a few times because I did get distracted in my mental fantasy world.
Its good to know that you're not the only one going through something. Well I've been depersonalized and derealized for 10 years now. Mine was due to trauma, a lot of crazy stuff happened in my family when I was a kid even till now, it really messed me up. Everything feels like a dream, objects around me are wider and flat and seem farther away from me. I get panic attacks like occasionally. I'm also aggressive towards people even though I don't wanna be. Sometimes I come back to reality, and then I get really scared and start screaming and crying involuntarily cos even though it looks real I'm just so used to seeing everything distorted and then i revert back to the dream state. Also I tend to laugh alot, also find it very hard to focus. I find it really hard to make proper eye contact with people. It's just really crazy.
The eye contact thing is the worst part for me, I hate it.. I feel like if I'm having eye contact with people they can see that I'm looking at them like they're something other than what they really are 😆 I find it kinda funny now tbh, because I realize how ridiculous my mind is, but I still can't help but behave like that
I literally recovered just from this video im so happy!! I had been feeling like this and was super scared because I didn’t know what was going on and if i was going to feel like this forever which lead me to more anxiety and then depression to the point where i even contemplated suicide. I started deep thinking to see what my trauma was and i discovered it and started relaxing in bed and telling myself that im ok and my trauma is just in my head and is not a threat. I recovered at least 85% in half an hour I’m so happy right now.
To keep from triggering others with the original comment, it's gotten bad where I literally feel like I can't see. I get intrusive thoughts of not being able to think, breathe, see, swallow.
I am so thankful for the internet for stuff like this. I’ve had to dig through so much stuff on the internet to find out what was happening to me. Thank you. Postpartum anxiety brought derealization on and I flipped out and it has continued for a month now and the feeling of not being a competent mother has been so debilitating. I never thought I’d feel normal again and explaining it to therapists was difficult because I didn’t know what exactly was happening. This helps so much. I am in tears while listening ❤️ I have subscribed and will be going through all your videos
@@jaedot4306 it’s gotten way better tbh, I woke up one day it it seemed less then wat it was it actually got better when I started talkn to a therapist but tbh from wat I noticed dpdr comes from stress an anxiety bc I was anxious for months after the hospital an it stuck with me I stayed home quit my job an etc now it’s gotten better I leave the house and do things more I still have fear that I’ll freak out an it’ll come back but it’s gotten better u just have to put urself out there an show ur brain that it’s not as bad as it thinks, sometimes I still get that feeling like this isn’t real or my body but it’s way better, when did urs start happening and wat triggered it
I started feeling Dpdr from weed the other week and life was miserable until I watched this video you truly already lowered my stress from just talking about it
@@lanemarti2389 I mostly had to calm myself down and just think of a moment in my life that reminded me that i was actually real. And i was in reality. Just gotta remind your brain you’re actually there
I’ve lost my sense of reality for awhile, and assumed it was derealization but I just ignored it and continued to bottle my emotions. About a month ago I was talking with my friend and venting to him about how depressed I was, and in that moment I tried to imagine eternity throughout the end of the universe and the meaning of our lives. Once I attempted to imagine eternity, which failed as humans can’t imagine it, I started freaking out and things felt less and less real. For the past month I’ve just been getting worse. I moved from existential thoughts to a more nihilistic view and I believe that I will never feel normal again. I got a therapist, and he’s trying to help me piece together all the traumatic events that have happened in my life that led to that moment, but I still can’t get rid of my new fear of death and eternity and how our lives our meaningless. I have no comfort, a suicidal person has the comfort of death with them, but I have nothing as death would bring me closer to eternity. Is this derealization or depersonalization? Are these normal symptoms of it? Will I ever feel normal again? Will I ever see meaning in my life and lose my fear of death? I was never afraid before, but that moment of when I thought of eternity seemed to open some part of my brain that I had never interacted with. I don’t know what to do, I’m scared, I want to enjoy life, but I don’t think I ever will be able to. Nothing is real, help me. I’m only 17 I just want to feel real and live a normal life.
This video helped me ,I just started having these thoughts that I wouldn't know what normal feels like but now that I watched this video it showed me a different view thanks 👍
watched this video few months back and coming back to it. my anxiety caused this 100%. during a panic attack i found the only thing that actually relieved me which my therapist adviced, guys please try this: i start describing objects in room, what is actually happening at that moment, using my senses (touching something and focusing on how it feels, listening..) , i do not believe you can just suddenly recover without doing something and going “against the anxiety’s will” that idea never helped me but this… simply ground myself in reality , had gone relatively long without panic attack for the first time 👍🏻👍🏻
Everyone here in the comments says they are scared, and some help others, talk to them, support them. I do not know about you, I am not afraid and do not need support, I am just desperate. I just want to get back to myself because my time is wasted on moments I can’t seem to feel.
This channel is a hidden gem. It's encouraging to hear someone talk about dpdr. I had to specifically seek it out and I'm happy I did. I got lost after point #3... I think there was a 4th point but all I could think about was that lambo. Haha. But in all seriousness, keep up the good work 🙂
Made it to the end. This is driving me crazy. My anxiety over it has turned to eye rolls and dread and general unease, but I’m so depressed over it. But I feel a little hope. Sucks that it might take years.
The problem is that you can only appreciate not being in the depersonalization state is When you are back in the depersonalization state,😢 like when you are having a good moment and realizing that you are out of dp then you go right back at it....😐😐
I smoked laced weed not knowing it was laced , freaked me enough to take me into a panic attack , as if a panic attack isn’t bad enough already Imagine being high , all I wanted to do was go to sleep and I couldn’t . I feared for my life , the next day I felt detached from my body , everything was a question to me what was real am I even awake right now ? What helped me over come it was going out with my girl and just telling her how I felt and showed her what I was going through , moral of the story get someone who you are comfortable with and talk to them about it . It lasted about a day but watching videos like this really calmed me down , don’t panic don’t over think you are safe ! I over came it and you will too!$
@@yyeseniaa crazy part I did it again to see if It would happen again and it did! And this time it wasn’t just one day I’m still feeling it lol but I can somewhat control it
Thank you. I’ve been trying to put a finger on how I’ve been feeling for a while now. This has been explained brilliantly and now I know it’s something I can overcome
i was in like 5th grade now i’m a freshman i’m starting to get better like walking around town and stuff i feel normal sometimes but not completely normal like ik it’s there but it’s foggy
*hugs* I was a young child when I started feeling this way too. I'm 34 now. It's gotten somewhat better but still a struggle. Hang in there. Seek help if you can!
@@jaceerickson642 How do you feel now and do you feel like the way you were feeling when you were a kid? Like the days when you were very happy , joyful , easily scared and emotional
I got derealised by smoking skunk (strong weed). My way of over coming this is by meditating, I’m in the process of meditating regularly and I find that it helps MASSIVELY - this proves that it is a fear and anxiety based condition because that’s exactly what meditating defeats.

This will help you get in tune with the felt sense, which is how you will start to feel muscle tension during your that is happening subconsciously. -Frequently throughout your day, take 3-5 seconds to release the tension in your muscles. You can release only the tension you feel in specific areas, or you can do what's called "The Wet Noodle" and release all the tension at once. Then focus back on your day. This will help muscle tension from building up and causing you to enter sympathetic nervous system dominance. -Make sure to have a solid morning routine and read the book "Atomic Habits" for tips on forming habits. -Also do your best to avoid constantly researching your symptoms as this will make you feel overwhelmed. -Focus on living your life as normal while staying in tune with the felt sense and releasing muscle tension through your day. Those tips will help you get started. I hope this helped and have an amazing day my friend and I hope to see you in the inner circle!
Dude have you learned anything about this I smoked stronger stuff than normal and all day I've felt out of place almost like a dream and feeling almost automated idk I just weirdly feel like I'm somewhere I'm not supposed to be
@@michaeljessup okay congratulations for smoking even stronger stuff, how impressive, and doing so everyday disregarding your mental state, you must be really smart. Okay sarcasm aside if I were you it sounds like you need to see a therapist immediately the way you’ve described it is like you’ve passed derealisation and you now may be suffering from psychosis perhaps schizophrenia (because that’s what derealisation tends to lead to if you make it worse).
Meditating gives me anxiety. I've had dp/dr since I was 12 from getting so high I had a major panic. I accepted DR and I dont obsess anymore therefore I'm cured. The pain is in the obsessing.
I've been leaving time capsules of my emotions in certain places that I have been and I would like to write one here to discover in the future. I've been having derealization since August/September 2022. I have a long history of trauma from my childhood and this feeling has always been around but it was a small thought that I could forget quickly. But then suddenly it came really strong. The feeling of "being normal" is something which I have forgotten and sometimes scary to say with everything that happens I don't know if I ever felt "normal". This is made worse by the feeling that those around me are not real and that they can't help me. Its got much worse over the past month to the point where anything is scary. As soon as I feel any of my senses I'm dragged back to the world and the derealization starts again. Going to sleep is a massive challenge for me because as soon as I lay down in bed I'm left alone with my thoughts and the derealization. This has had a catastrophic effect on my health. Because not resting makes it so much worse. All my doctors and all my family tell me "Just go to sleep" "You will better in the morning". But they don't understand that sleeping is hard and they don't understand the hell I'm going through. It's so easy to feel hopeless, alone and helpless because of the feeling you're alone and no one is there to help or understand. Some days I don't even know if I'm alive. It feels like if being locked in this strange prison called "Life" and I don't know how to escape. I don't know how to feel alive, how to feel normal again and worse yet I don't know if I ever will. Some people tell me they have derealization for years I've only had it for a few month and it's already hard it would hell having it for years. The only proof I have that I'm alive is my memories of the past and the hope to make more memories in the future. The thought that I'm alive for a reason I'm here for a reason. My family even though they don't know what I'm going through even though there advice is normally "Just get better" I love them and even though I'm suffering I hold on for them. I hope to get better for them. Because even if I do feel helpless and alone I know deep down past all the fear I have them and they will always love me. Edit: I also like to re-watch 3:28 when ever I'm scared. Even though its just words it means a lot.
Jordan Your videos help a lot. If I’ve had dp since I was 21/22. You’re right, I don’t know what feeling normal feels like. In fact when I have no anxiety, it feels strange.
I want to say to anyone out there that i had depersonalisation for about 2 years. The best strategy is find out the cause of the situation, stop smoking weed, remove people from your life who bring stress/ anxiety.
@@МартиненкоМаксим-р4ъ am perfectly fine, don't focus or dwell on it, let it be in the background focus otherthings and keep yourself busy. Stop drinking, taking drugs or anything that alter the mind.
guys if you read this let me tell you, YOU WILL FEEL NORMAL AGAIN. It’s not permanent , you are trapped in a disconnected state but the trap is your mind telling you you’re trapped, relax into it KNOW it’s not permanent… I’ve been through this five times in the last 28 years.. You are not alone, other people have felt exactly the same as you.. i’m not the exception, your not the exception it’s all part of the anxiety keeping you in the loop of thinking.. The best way to get back to your normal way of thinking relax breath and accept where you are now.. It will go as quick as it came, recovery is not a slow process, once recovery starts its game over for DP it’s gone very quickly.. You will feel exactly as you did before without even remembering emotionally what dp felt like.. Fear is the problem, lose the fear and recovery will happen quickly.. IT IS GOING TO BE GONE SOON.
My biggest problem is my vision, I can’t see correctly, and nothing feels familiar, I’ve been so scared these past four months, your videos are extremely helpful
same with me. theres times to where my vision is fine but sometimes my brain starts to think that how im looking at stuff is not normal in which is not true because what we are looking at is real so its just a weird and uncomfortable thing to deal with
I am always in my mind 24/7 I question everything I feel like everything is fake and like if everyone is against me this is really scary I am afraid that I stay like this forever.
hi love, i'm a big fan. i'm so sorry you're going thru this, and i hope you are feeling better/start to feel better soon. i'm in a bad episode rn and i feel so alone. seeing someone i've looked up to for so long speaking about it helps me feel more normal. sending all my love and i hope you are doing all right
I've held on till the end lol, Thanks a ton I really needed this, as soon as you said it's a survival mechanism I calmed down, and I got out of Derealization
Hey I have a question I’m 15 and I recently started having this fear of life and we’re we go after death and disappearing into thin air or god coming back and being scared to look up at the sky this started happening after my grandpa died and watching a movie abt the world ending and started having dreams abt it and I feel like I’m in a dream or watching myself from the outside of my body and I feel like I’m going crazy because I can’t ever get it out of my head do you have any tips so I can feel normal again or say feel more connected and more calm and are these common symptoms people have?
You just made me feel so much better. I have these same thoughts and they make me panic so much. Just know that God wouldn’t do anything to hurt you or scare you. He is love and he’s got you
How r u feeling now mentally? And bae ur not crazy I feel the same way to I freak out and feel like EVERYTHING IS FAKE AND A DREAM I cry all the time and it freaks me out huh someone if u feel that way and deep breath (it’s funny how I’m giving u pointers and I can’t take my own advice I b freaking out)
I don't want to live I'm always so worried I want to feel the love I can't feel it When my dad tries to calm me down is doesn't work I'm so scared. I'm scared that I won't ever get out of this
its so weird, every time i do something-once its over it feels like remembering a dream, even if im still at the same place. I´ve had the 24/7 version of dpdr for over 2 years now and its getting so hard. I dont even want to go outside because then i notice it more because of the lightning and stuff.
This is EXACTLY what I’m going though! It’s been getting worse! I keep praying for a miracle and just did an MRI. I hope we can get this fixed because it’s honestly the worst thing ever
i first felt like this when i was like 7 or 8, now I am 15 and I had no idea that this was a real thing until now, it's such a relief that I am not alone, I hope you will all recover soon, be safe guys
I’m still so young and I had since I was 11 now I’m 13 I’m scared I just wanna live life I love every thing about life I just wanna be myself I’m scared and I cry every day I just wanna be normal pleases or I should just end my life tbh
Hi does anyone get scared by the very existence of their mind and conciousness?? That we have thoughts..that we have a mind..that we are aware of thoughts..its getting very hard
Yes, it's actually a quite common fear among DPDR sufferers. Basically every question without an answer can trigger anxiety and panic attacks. Recently I've managed to snap out of the reality questioning obsessions, however death and afterlife topics scare me a lot, and I've been very into philosophy and religion before DPDR, so it does not help. Life is a nightmare now, however I encourage you to try intense physical exercise daily - it made some of my symptoms diminish or even disappear.
