It’s such a terrifying feeling I sink into these panic attacks about existence and it’s just awful, scariest feeling ever ... plays on my mind all the time. So many unanswered questions my brain cannot fathom :(
s b It’s hard. I know. I keep thinking about what happens when we die, why are we here etc. It makes it even harder as there is no straight answer to these questions which gives me little a bit of anxiety. Fear of the unknown😬
@@RealSwamyG what is really hurt me Swamy is emotional numbness, i really need to feel again, i can't feel anything, how can i feel again . The numbness casued as a result to depersonalization fear , when i felt so much anxious about dp ( because it was the very first time i face dp) i suddenly disconnected, i can't go back again to my real self, any steps to follow swamy ? Thanks
@@RealSwamyG "I don't know" is another answer that I find helpful. I subscribed to your free course and it has been great by the way! I am feeling much better. I'm reading the Power of Now by Eckhart and it's really good. So we sit in the peace of the Now, and stop asking any questions. My irrational mind will say go that "Isn't that just placation?" But I think I've come to see and accept that my mind and thoughts can be wrong. This includes things such as philosophy and meaning, reality is too absurd for our minds to model objectively. We do not even understand how consciousness works or where it even exists. I don't know all the answers, so I should be inspired with curiosity. I am afraid of death and not finding out, but such a thing may be a delusion of my mind. I guess we are all searching for Truth. But what even is that? The only Truth we have is the Now.
Thank you a lot I’ve I had anxiety attack since then I’ve been having Philosophical question about my reality and my existence it’s super overwhelming and scary but your videos are comforting thank u I thought I was Krazy for a second man
My anxiety stimulated from the new “simulation” theory and then I went into DP/DR and started panicking everyday cause it made that fear worse. Then I wake up every morning wondering if I’m going to feel/worry about that again
This is my experience exactly. The panic and stress hit me like a bus and I couldn’t stop the thoughts. Then I practiced meditation, I watched tons of videos about life, space, and healthy thinking. I hope you get more subs and views, I subbed. This was so helpful.
Your story is so similar to mine. I've gotten through the most acute phase of fear, but it has still been a near constant rumination and inner dialog about these things. This video really helped.
Before I experienced depersonalization I was fantasy by life the earth and our space and I would always loved to look at the sky or the moon but ever since I got dpn I just feel scared to even go outside to experienced life again or like look at the moon or the sky I feel fear for some reason and not at peace like I used to. It sucks that I don’t feel the same anymore and my days doesn’t feel like a new day as well. Like my mind doesn’t adapted things normally.
@@nirmalraj2571 I got recommended on these supplements that is super beneficial to help you out with you anxiety and they really helped me because I was get so panicky and my head would feel cloudy but the supplements were called 5htp if you wish to check them out pls do because they honestly saved me and I hope the same for everyone of you who are going through this.
@@nirmalraj2571 I believe so because after I gone over my dp I felt like myself again but sometimes I would feel a little anxious or I would get those feelings again but I just simply distract myself for a while and I’m fine again or sometimes I simply go to sleep and I feel better but this is my own experience. I recommend you to do your research about this pills before you take them they don’t do any harm.
If you’re going through dp stop watching these videos.The moment you accept the feeling will be that moment you actually get better.Go About your day like you normally would and don’t give it any energy.You will be better Soon hang In there.
Thank you Swamy for sharing your wisdom and personal experiences💙 It's important to remember that these questions aren't bad, as you said our safety is attacked and that's why those questions seem horrible. I'm slowly starting to see that existential thoughts are actually really important and some kind of gift to see world with a deeper level!
@@aishaibrahim9719 it is to me! I have a hard time remembering my past and whenever that happens, I start to question if the remembrances are fully true, and if they are, why it is that I don't see them very clearly...it is very difficult to explain. I suggest you to try an holistic therapy where you can talk about your genealogical tree, our ancestor's non solved life experiencies/problems are mostly the ones we still carry.
Thanks for this video man. Ive been having this maybe since a year now and it sucks. I was fine for a couple months but now its coming back and it sucks, I thought I found the right way but I didn’t. What annoys me is that I used to love thinking about these stuff and one day I got massive panic attack and ive never been the same since. Whats also annoyings is how you dont wanna think about these thoughts but you dont have a choice, thats what makes you feel unsafe. One step is also to accept that you will never be the same again, these thoughts will always have a certain way with you than they used to.
My DPDR triggered thoughts about solipsism, "is everyone conscious like I am?", it's as if I cannot fathom anything existing outside my own consciousness.....it's a weird and unsettling feeling. At its worst, I lose trust and faith in the world around me because I feel everything may be an illusion or a facade.
@@adentran241 I wouldn't say I'm 100% over it yet but I'm doing much better. I have no problem going about my daily life and I still experience enjoyment. It's been mildly unsettling at it's worst in recent times. Once you learn how to deal with the anxiety, the feelings reduce.
Thank you so much! It really comforts me watching all your videos, i felt like i still have a shot in life. I'm really having a hard time dealing with my DPDR, especially now that we're on community quarantine because of COVID. I really apprecite you man!
we cant go off of feelings or even are own opinions, many people feel and then believe certain things are true. How do we know what truth is? Jesus said "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, King James Version Casting down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ That verse if perfect for what we are going thru, putting down every argument, reasoning and imagination that exalts itself against knowledge of God Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing BY the word of God. one more And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus when you think your life is over and theres no way out God will make a way he made ALL things, he is mighty to save.
Just after stepping out from the examination centre after giving exams today I felt like every single person there were just my imagination!! It was a cold January afternoon and it was very chilling , and my derealization was at peak! 😢My friends were talking ,smiling and I was going crazy looking around me as a maniac thinking it was all fake, everything around me!! But I had to hide it from everyone and there were a lot of people!! It was terrible! 😭
I’m so sorry this has happened to me as well. But we have to think there is no way at all this is fake it’s the dpdr and that fades over time. Time heals every wound God bless
I have been experiencing emotions for a short duration. For instance, if I feel bad about something, I would feel it fleetingly for about a minute before it would vanish. I used to feel quite intensely before. If I look at the sky, I know its pretty but don't feel it and not do I feel the music anymore. I can't differentiate if I am doing something wrong from right.Also, the when I wake up, it feels like a continuation of the previous day. I don't feel like it's a new day. Are these part of DPDR?
I feel the same way, like days and hours are just one weird stretch of time. I was just wondering about it today, thinking if it is normal in dp and dr. I guess it is! Also same with the emotional numbness. Very bizarre...
So me always living in poetry and philosophy - and occult stuff... thank you for your divine video's you helped me through severe zombie-derealization-attacks
I’m suffering from dpdr already 10 years and it was caused by childhood trauma, but the only thing which doesn’t allow me to move on is a thought Am I real? Like how can I prove myself that I’m real and it’s not my simulation, what’s even the word simulation? For what we were created and bla bla and suddenly I just feel completely lonely like no one can save me and no one lives in my world and it’s kinda scary, and I’m just trying to escape, to hide from it cause I can’t accept it without answers and distinctness...
Hi Swamy, thank’s a lot. What’s about this feeling : looked the mirror and saw a stranger or even hardly to regnognize myself in the mirror ? As if something is brocken but you dont know what is brocken...
This is one of the quintessential DP/Dissociation symptoms. Many people experience this. Nothing is broken. When DP fades away it won't happen that often.
@@wesleymouedineassaby1035 No specific tip. There's no instant cure. Cultivate patience. Accept these feelings and symptoms and continue living life. DP will leave on its own over time.
@@isseisharma9418 recovered ! And very happy to be recovered ! In fact, i did qigong everyday (7 minutes), Meditation (5 minutes), drink water, do 2-3 running session per week, see people, discuss about my bad feelings... and finally i'm now recovered. :) You need patience, and find your own routine and things will be OK. Life is like clouds, sky can be sometimes grey, but be sure, at a moment it will be blue!
I feel weird when i think about my brain , its process of thoughts..emotions.. it got freak me out everytime ,,i can't focus on my study because of these thoughts sometimes the suicidial thoughts pop up because of these scary thoughts.😥
Bro because of these thoughts I fear about getting psychosis or full blown schizophrenia, because I fear going insane and lose my mind, can you help me?
I have a question: what if you have a hard time believing the idea that you will ultimately get better? Objectively speaking, I know that I probably will recover, but when I say that or think that, I dont feel it or believe it. Is this normal? I am afraid of giving up hope and I'm fighting every single day to get towards recovery but my doubts really shake me up. I've always believed in the idea that there is always a reason to have hope and to have faith, yet whenever I start to feel hopeful I start to doubt.
Hi Cory, it's hard to form a new belief. Right now, your old beliefs have made hard neural pathways in your brain. This is why you usually think the same thoughts. BUT nothing in the brain is fixed. You can form new neural pathways, which creates new thoughts and beliefs. This is called neuroplasticity. What I'd suggest is you keep at it, every day. Keep believing that you will recover. Write it down in big letters and post it in your room so you'll always see it. It's ok for doubt to creep in, that might happen. As humans, we are prone to doubt. Don't fight it. But keep affirming to yourself that you'll recover. Slowly a new neural pathway will form. Then this belief will feel more natural to you.
Archita Sharma I actually am and have fully recovered! Knowing you’ll be okay but not “feeling” it in your gut is totally normal. As a matter of fact, I had another panic attack not too long ago due to me getting a frappe that accidentally had 3 shots of espresso in it, and the feelings of DPDR cake back, but because I had already recovered and just recognized it as a symptom of anxiety, I didn’t worry and within a few weeks it was gone. I don’t view it as a disorder anymore, I just view it as being “anxiety drunk” or having an “anxiety hangover”. You will recover just keep at it!
Brother please help me, I get thoughts like "DP/DR is also generated by my mind and it is not real and no one and nothing is real, everything is mind-generated". Please reply.
its more than thoughts...what ive exprnced and some other people i know ..they are depersonalised ie they lost thier whole persona literally , and derealised ie detached to reality ie people dont feel real , u r living on surface level ie so much anxious that u r total numb....feeling like an entity watching all world playing its game....like a person view ...not in body sort of ...relationships are gone..goals and peace of life are gone...feeling total numb and no thoughts at all or existential thoughts at certain time...its scary man..if one be in it for long like 1 to 10 yrs , thier whole psychie literally turns upside down...and tough to heal also especially if occured through physical exhaustion and trauma..its fuckin* hard to turn it off..
Hey Swamy, so I have anxiety. And I've definitely been feeling this lately, but I don't know if what I'm going through is existential anxiety/existential OCD or if I'm going through an existential crisis. In your view, is EX anxiety/ocd the same as an EX crisis? Thank you.
Your fears are irrational. You gotta show your body that nothing is going to happen by being outside. Expose yourself to your fears, but take baby steps.
I understand what you say, but what if my belief is that there's nothing after death and that consciousness is the product of the brain? This is the closest to the truth from what we have learned until now and based on how the modern world functions, that our awareness is basically an illusion. This would imply that we all die and nothing happens and that makes me believe that everything we do is ultimately meaningless in regards to the Universe - this gives me deep existential fears and nihilism. Do you have any thoughts? :D Thanks
You don't have to if you don't want to. You can learn to ignore such thoughts (ignore and don't fight). Best to pick up a project or hobby that will draw you in.
@@RealSwamyG thank you so much sir 🙏🙏 I'm so much improving because of you , i am applying all the principle you mentioned on 7 part email series and you tube videos🙏🙏
@@RealSwamyG sir sometimes I feel my mind is empty everytime confusion sir whether to eat or not whether to go out or not this things automatically runs in my mind it creates havoc in me sometime I feel that i am thinking wrong about others while thinking correct also sometimes i am not able to think its like confusion irritability when two persons are talking to each other automatically i feels like i am talking on their behalfs plz help me from this hell sir what is it why it is going automatically 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
My advice is to get curios with these thoughts if you feel interested in them. If these thoughts don't interest you in the least bit, then ignore them. Don't indulge in them. Let them just come and go.
Hi Swamy, I bought the program from dp no more, with e-mail support for 30 days. I respond to the e-mails with the specified e-mail address but I do not receive a response from you… maybe they don't arrive correctly that could be. I have a lot of questions, can we get in touch?
@Anony mous Vor ca. 2 Monaten. War bei nem Kumpel und haben nen Joint geraucht (ich hab echt selten gekifft und war auch immer mega vorsichtig) und hätte da halt ne kleine Panikattacke, die halt diesem Derealisation Gefühl schon echt Nahe kam, also ich hatte auch das Gefühl, dass ich mit selbst zugucken konnte und so. Naja und dann einen oder zwei Tage später hat es dann halt auch Zuhause angefangen mit so Panikattacken und die erste Zeit war es auch echt krass. Hatte halt das Gefühl, dass alles um mich herum fremd ist und nicht real und so und auch da schon diese Existentiellen Gedanken. Hatte auch irgendwie das Gefühl, dass das nicht meine Eltern da am Küchentisch sind und so. War schon echt ne harte Zeit. Das war so für zwei Wochen oder so wo es mir auch echt schlecht ging und ich keinen Hunger und so hatte. Also dieses Fremdheitsgefühl hab ich nur noch sehr selten. Die Fragen sind erstmal geblieben. Aber im Vergleich zum Anfang geht es mir echt gut. Hatte auch ein zwei Tage wo es komplett weg. Die Fragen kamen immernoch, aber es war okay dass ich da keine Antwort gefunden hab. Also quasi wie es normal sein sollte. Wie ist es bei dir?
Das wichtigste ist halt, dass man sich dagegen nicht wert, gegen dieses Gefühl, dass alles fremd ist. Ich hab mich dann meistens einfach zurückgelehnt und versucht locker zu bleiben und mit alles anzuschauen. Klappt nicht immer, aber manchmal schon. Akzeptanz ist das wichtigste. Auch das man es seinen Eltern, Freund/Freundin erzählt, dass sie wissen was bei einem gerade los ist. Auch das man jemanden hat mit dem man reden kann. Meinen Eltern hab ich ein Video von einem deutschen RU-vidr gezeigt "frei von Angst" heißt der. Damit die sich was drunter vorstellen können. Das Video kann ich dir auch empfehlen. Der erzählt nix neues aber wenn jemand in Ruhe erzählt was los ist. Das hilft ja oft, wenn man ne schwere Phase hat. Ach und ich geh jeden Tag raus an die frische Luft für ne Stunde. Ich hör Podcasts oder Hörbücher dabei. Da bin ich immer fast symptomfrei und hab klare Gedanken. Überlege auch ob ich mit Joggen anfangen und früh gleich ne Runde renne. Also einfach draußen sein und in der Natur hilft mir mega. Hab auch aufgehört Kaffee zu trinken. Mit Kaffee wäre es noch krasser 😂
@Anony mous Hast du auch immer das Gefühl nicht so richtig zu den Menschen zu gehören 😂. Ich find das immer krass, dass wir Menschen als Affen hier nen kompletten Planeten dominieren. Gerade so Fernsehsendungen wo man anderen Menschen zuschaut. Find ich immer krass. Also ich find das immer richtig absurd.
@Anony mous bin gerade wegen Online Studium bei meinen Eltern, will aber in 14 Tagen zu meinem Studienort fahren und gucken wie es mir dort geht und zum Arzt gehen und dem mal sagen, dass ich mich gerne mal an nen Therapeuten wenden würde.
Can they slow down tho.. like once dpdr is gone fully will they stop being so constant? Like I would hate it if even when dpdr is gone that existential thoughts still circulate in my head all day
Hello, I am now having this. I am 24/7 having this thoughts. Still thinking and imaginating what if this all is a kind of a dream. I am having a serious feat causes panics for example when i am talking to someone and then the idea comes - telling me the another one whom I am speaking to is not real. Causing me a deep depression of imaginating myself to being alone. Now i am having Zoloft 150mg and neurol 0,25 (benzodiazepim), but neurol i don’t know if it helps as it should do. I don’t know if it is a kind of depersonalisation or kind of anxiety disorder. I am really affraid of any psychosis or so. I am still trying to neutralize the thoughts. I just want to be normal and forget all of these fears and situations. I hope i won’t get crazy...
parth mithrandir Started slowly during this carantine time. I am usually working very hardly on my business, meeting people, having really a lot of appoitments. Suddenly almost all of this was switched off and I was sitting at home and thinking. If yoi have or had ocd you probably know how thinking and free time could be dangerous switchee of this neurosis. I studied political science and philosophy, also i (sometimes unfortunately) was tested about my IQ (results were very high...someone could be happy, not myself so much). Everytime when i am having so much free time i read and write a lot (i am also doing sports like working out etc.). Unfortunately i do have these thoughts which are coming very suddenly and me myself, I just must find an answer and then i am havin dialogue with myself and all of this causes my intrustive thoughts. I really like Descartes, Foucault, Nietzsche (mostly), Plato, Artistotle, Kierkegaard and so on. I love philosophy and thinking about difficult questions, but combined with so high level of imagination, I am able to close myself in my own head or brain and stay there till I satisfy myself with finding answers, axioms and another “neutralisation” of my thoughts. I am knowing these are “only” my thoughts and my imagination, but imagination of scenario of being alone makes me fearfull - human is ZOON POLITIKON and imaginating these scenarios could be kind of self devastating.
hm..philosophiCAL LIFE QUESTIONING STUFFS MIXED WITH FREE TIME thinking and al causes it too. especially if one is more into philosophy and art field ..im a poet and once i had an awakeing experience on near death expereince then all u know ...✌
Swamy G thank you so much guru ❣️ I’m ok now ! But I’m not be able to create underlying sense of safety this time ! Last time I managed and it weared off in a month and now after two month it came back with excess intensity ! I’m troubling to cope up ! Kindly leave your face time or Skype I’d ! Else reply me sir pls
hey first of all ,scizophrenia is not a disease or psychosis ...medical science is unable to explain what it is ...its just a change in perception and frame of referance commonly .. actually its a gift if utilized ..ok if one dont want gifts...then calming the nervous system is the best way to heal...ita a part of flight fight freeze response ....when freeze happens for longer it causes all these perception and persona change ...so avoiding stimulants , calming agents , and grounding are ways to heal ....also healing that trauma and reseting nervous system is must too..and its pretty tough ....dpdr is a sort of complex ptsd or an awakening to a gift which is also traumatic too..✌
I always was a curious guy i was asking a lot of existence questions to myself and read religious books and become interested with religion, i was in the army 5 yers ago and i was smoking drugs with my frindes a lot and when i was high i noticed the feeling of dpdr but i know that i was high, but one day i was reading a religious book that said that i need to thank god about everything even the bad things so i was laying i bed and started to thank god for everything and i started to feel like im laying on cloud like im not feeling my body like im floating, i thought that it is a spiritual process it was feeling good but very scary, then i wake up and everything was looking strange to me i had a lot of existence thoughts alot of philosophical thoughts and i became a believer in god, and i became a religious and all the time when i was detached from my body i thought that its a part of my awaking because it was like this in the books i read, but i sew slowly that something is wrong because i started to afriad from everything from philosophical thoughts everything was strang people, animals, the sky, the moon, i thought its a part of the spiritual path, i was reading alot of books alot! ,But then i was searching in Google and all the symptoms of dpdr was like my, and i slowly started to be afrid from spirituality and god because in the beginning i thought i was so afriad because its a part of the spiritual thing like it was written in the books i thought that im holy or something 😂 (i was smart reading a lot), meanwhile in the 5 years i was okay i was doing everything like a normal person i was in the army after i was working and then got married have tow kids, the dpdr was on and of but nobody know that i have something nobody noticed anything starngh with me, but since 2019 it started to a permanent all day 24/7 and i became really depressed in the first time in my life im like this all ready a all year, and now i have a strong fear that i had a psychosis when i was in the spiritual process 5 years ago, and the thoughts not living me alon, help me please somdy had something like this ( sory my einglish is so bad)
Same here , i just can't watch these philosophical things , i cant watch motivational videos and ,spiritual speech ..even i haven't watched movie since i got dpdr..
Hi will my depersonalization definitely go away? I have it through vestibular migraines, if the vestibular migraines don't go away will this depersonalization go away? Im loosing hope so fed up with this 😒
One of the philosophical thoughts I have is if anything you believe becomes true in your life, then what should you believe? If you believe you can fight dp with meditation it will become true, if you believe you don't have dp and that's just a common stress it will become true for you, which means something becomes true only if you believe is true, and something becomes wrong only if you believe is wrong? Before I recognised dp & Dr I believed it was nothing but a panic attack and those thoughts were induced by devil (I am a muslim and I have strong faith in god) and that helped me overcome it, when I searched about it, it turns out it was some kinda mental disorder and this idea coming from a muslim made me soo confused and skeptical in almost everything. If anything you believe is true becomes true, then what is true and wrong?
Hello brother I’m a Muslim also. I understand your feelings completely. If you want please let’s be friends and we can talk about everything. Don’t worry god loves us. Leave everything to god brother.
Hey Swamy, 6 months in with DPDR now. I have a question, these last 2 days when i went to sleep i dreamt a lot, but i felt like i was inside the dream like the dream was reality and it just felt so weird. I'm scared this may happen tonight again, because when i wake up i'm like was i really doing stuff or was that just a dream? It's just really weird and i'd like to know if it's normal with DPDR or if maybe it also happened to you.
Can you please help me with my existential question, I would really like it if you could give me some advise. My dpdr started on May 27th, I knew I had a weird condition since 2013 but all of a sudden, idk why, probably because of isolation and my already existing anxiety and the condition to overthink has put me in a situation of dpdr My question is always like "What am I seeing? Is this whatever I am seeing, why am I seeing it, and the worst part is that my brain and mind don't collaborate, like if I se a glass in front of me, I know there is a glass but my mind tells me that I am blank, the entire day I keep feeling weird with this same question, it's like there is a gap between my mind and brain. And with that I also have dpdr which bothers me throughou my day. If you could help me.. please..
If you're expecting me to say something that will instantly calm you down and make this go away for you, then you will be disappointed. Your mind will take time to get used to this new stimuli. Give it time. Don't fight these thoughts, but let them come and go. Try to understand that you are safe and not in harm. Again, no easy quick fix, it just is going to take time to settle. Cultivate patience.
