I'd been getting a little bit better, but its back worse. Cant look in the mirror, dont know who i am, feel disconnected from everyone and have no emotion besides fear and sadness. Wakeup and the 1st thought is who am i, am i still dreaming. I stopped researching it and tried to get on with life alongside it. But its come back really really hard so ive found myself looking at videos for comfort again. Feel nothing for my wife and kids at all, got tunnel vision. 3 years now
Had it since last month and i feel you. Don't know how long this will last, but i feel i just exist, i still have all my instinctive behaviours from before but i always find myself questioning them and analyzing them from a negative and critical standpoint. Like, what even am i? Why do i and other humans do this? Fucking shit. Its created new thoughts for me that never occured to me before.
Same thing, 4 years now. It's really hard. It's my 2nd dpdr.. in the middle. Weed helped me to stop thinking those.. now again one day got panic attack and slowly started again. my brain getting tired of thinking on this 24/7... Unwanted thoughts. can't explain 😢. Literally feeling like let's finish up here.. but still hv little hope.. living my life to Jesus
I just got hit with this. Its now 7am. Slept last night 7pm and awoke at 12am and can't sleep. It's been 4 days of panic attacks. Every minute, every hour. Sweaty palms. Fear of going crazy. Fear I'd have stroke or seizure from having no sleep. Fear of heart attack from heart racing. Insecurities and feeling of detachment. You've experienced all of this for 10byrs. And i can't thank you enough for helping us understand that it's normal and controllable. You're a blessing.
I’ve done a lot of research on this topic and can honestly say this guy is spot on with everything he’s talking about, very good description and you’re helping so many people with this, thank you
Thank you for this. I cried yesterday praying to Jesus to help me from this horrible feeling. I felt so afriad that I was going to develop psychosis or have a stroke. 😰
@@vcaziy1728you have to let anxiety ride and surrender to it while building trust with your body ( light exercise, allowing yourself to feel your feelings, progressive muscle relaxation ). It’s never going to harm you ❤.
I’ve had this for a few month now and personally the worst part of it is the dizziness like I need something to hold onto when I’m in shops and stuff , and the horrible paranoia
Really hard to tell for me if I’m experiencing this. During my panic disorder I did go into a different state I felt that I changed and couldn’t be the person I used to be. I was stressed all the time and couldn’t feel joy for anything, just constant underlying anxiety and fear of panic. I felt I had changed for the worse and just ‘not right’ all the time.. everyday just battling it sometimes feeling I’m crazy. But.. I’ve seen people on forums desrcribe dpdr as literally feeling outside of yourself and I’m not sure I can relate to that, it’s quite an extreme description much more than what I think I’ve had. But definitely the disconnection to myself my feelings and my life is there. Thanks for the description you are very good at communicating and very insightful, cheers
Thank you so much for explaining DPDR out in detail I have this horrible illness for months now and it scares me so much makes my anxiety worse with panic attacks
Really good advice.. I get bouts still and when I do I know I'm over stressed so I try relax more. At the start of my panic/agoraphobia I hadn't a clue what was happening to me but doing my own research on it I was overjoyed that it had a name and I wasn't going crazy that weirdly made the dpdr less scary and I managed it better. now I just let it come and go 🙏
Great Sharon. And you are not going crazy in any way shape or form. This is all so bewildering when we don't know what's going on. But focusing on the FACTS that it isn't harmless and doesn't get worse etc just offers that reassurance and we can start to accept it and leave it alone knowing it will heal itself.
The only good thing about dpdr for me was I had experienced it back years ago after having my children only then it was known as an identity crisis so this last seven months of dpdr coming in at times it took me some time when hearing you all talking about dpdr to realise that it was the same thing I had had postnatal depression. I keep telling myself you had this before and it eventually left so I stopped fearing it. Keep going people facing your fears Glenn is right eventuality your system will heal and you will slowly see the light at the end of the tunnel. Never give up. Make yourself a promise that you will never give up even if setbacks come.
Wow, thank you for this very informative video, OP! May I ask, in your 10 years from suffering from DPDR/ Anxiety disorders. Did you ever go to a psychiatrist and take medication for this? Or at least go to therapy to coupe with this? I started getting panic attacks and DPDR last August of 2022. They been having consistently since then. I've also been diagnosed with H. Pylori recently, a gut infection. But I believe that has to do something with my panic attacks due to the Gut and Brain axis. I'm currently getting treatment for the H. Pylori infection. And I also recently started going to therapy in hopes of that it can help alleviate my mental disorders since I've been through a lot of trauma in life and have lived with high anxiety most of my life. I'm just kinda worried about taking psychiatric medication. I've read stories about developing Post SSRI Syndrome from them and would rather not play Russian Roullete with my brain chemistry.
For me what happened is the generation of new symptoms since it only begun at me since 8 days ago. I really wanted to do something to return to normal as early as possible. Because I am experiencing some early symptoms and I am aware that it only happens at me since 9 days. Will it go away?
Does it make sense when your freed from it. Like do all the weird dreaming ideas seem stupid after because it feels so real and I can’t tell if these thoughts are fact or not
Is emotional numbness common with dpdr? I can’t feel happiness, anger, fear, sadness, nothing, just anxiety and panic attacks. Is this a dpdr symptom or is this a more serious condition?
@@marioncarbonell6047 Yeah memory loss is a common complaint. When you have DPDR your brain goes into survival mode, DPDR is the freeze response. When your in the freeze response your body thinks your in danger so turns off specific parts of your brain which is why you feel a slight decline in your cognitive function. Also maybe get checked out by a health professional just to make sure it’s nothing else, better to be on the safe side, good luck.
