Adam (23) developed Depersonalization Disorder last year, triggered in part by anxiety he experienced while coming off a supplement. He struggled with DPDR and its symptoms for about 8 months. As he described the symptoms to me in a coaching session: "I felt disconnected, my vision seemed off -- It was almost like I had taken a very strong edible!"
Fortunately Adam has since made a complete recovery! In this interview Adam tells me all about his experience with and recovery from Depersonalization Disorder.

    Hello everyone!❤️ It all started a month ago when i was going to take a shower & suddenly had very strange & scary feeling that i'm in a dream and life is not real anymore! I was alone at home... And from that moment everything changed! I began to think about it non stop! I dont know how to cope with this awful, stressful feeling! I'm very joyful, friendly, kind and active person but its already 1 month that i forgot myself, seems that i lost my normal life🙈 I experience this very first time in my life before it i had only intrussive thoughts which i could eliminate! Now i'm powerless. I dont know whether i could describe right my feelings or not but wanted to share it with you all! Now i want to bring my normal life back but have no idea how to do that!

    Hi Sean , I’m currently suffering from DPDR and have been for the last 7 months and it started from a bad panic attack from weed. One other thing that I think has been keeping the cycle of anxiety going is that I use testosterone and i think it may be over stimulating my nervous system and throwing my body of balance . Would you say coming off of the testosterone and fixing my hormones would help with the anxiety?

    Shaun, sometimes when I’m calm, I can sometimes think of some of my special interests, but others are further from reach. One of the big ones for me was towards a group of content creators that actually helped pull me out of feeling depressed during the last time i struggled with DP. For some reason, I feel like I can conjure up at least a twinge of my past interests for other things like certain video games, or my love for nature and science, but this one interest, which has become a major component of my life since my last instance of DP, just feels totally gone. I’m scared of losing it forever. It sounds dumb, but it means a lot to me. It’s like it’s become a joke where it used to be. I can sort of think of a lot of my other interests, but this one, why this one? Am I just convincing myself that it’s what’s going on? Am I just lying to myself about it? It feels like anything that happened to me since my last 3 years of recovery and growth was wiped away. Almost as if I’m back to being the person I was BEFORE or maybe during my first bout of DP. I hate this so much. It hurts so much. I can’t lose touch with it. I can’t just give it up. It feels like my life’s been thrown away. Even when I don’t feel anxious, even when I feel calm, that interest is just… not there. It’s only been 3 weeks. Less than a month! How can I feel like I’ve regressed so far in so little time?

    The fear of it goes away bro. It doesn't actually scare you anymore when it tries to come back. It's like when you were a kid and you were scared of the sun exploding or something but then you realized that wasn't going to happen for millions of years from now. As a kid though you didn't know and you would get scared. Its the same with DPDR, you're scared of it now because you're barely starting to understand what it is. It takes time to realize its nothing dangerous and it takes time to truly believe that. Its just a heightened state of awareness because our anxiety is very high and we tend to look internally for answers. Over time when you start to realize that this isn't something to fear it gets weaker and weaker and weaker and it does not return. I had it for a long time because I didn't understand it but now I'm back to normal and when it has tried to come back twice in the past it lasted literally for a few minutes and it was gone because I realized i was just tired and needed to get some rest. I promise over time this will all go away and you'll be a much stronger person because of it.

    Hey, thanks for your comment 😊 I know DPDR can be scary but just remember that it’s a natural reaction to stress and anxiety, and people experience it all the time. The National Institute on Mental Illness estimates that up to 75% of people experience at least one depersonalization / derealization episode in their lives. It's part of your brain's natural defence mechanism and usually it only lasts a few seconds or minutes at a time. It's only when it's focused on as a separate problem (feeling like you're going crazy / in a dream etc) that it can turn into a feedback loop with the anxiety that caused it in the first place. But no matter what caused it or how long you've had it, you can always switch it off completely by stopping that anxious feedback loop. Make sure to carefully read through all the articles and info on my website at www.dpmanual.com and my book The Depersonalization Manual. And if you would like to speak to a medical professional please don't hesitate to do so. I would recommend finding an anxiety specialist if possible as they will likely be more familiar with DPDR 👍

Substances tend to cause a certain reaction in our bodies and our natural response is to go into fight or flight due to the unknown of what's happening to us. The time it took me to recover is irrelevant because everybody is different. Just know that whatever you smoked didn't cause permanent damage or anything like that.

    @@Userr368 every single person that I’ve talked to that has gone through DpDr has some “biggest problem” or they say “the thing for me is” doesn’t matter what you feel man the point is to just let it be there and label it as anxiety and just live your life. This DpDr doesn’t do anything to you but make you feel really weird and uncomfortable but with time it’ll go away. Even if it takes months. For me it took a good year. I questioned and doubted a lot but it’s nothing man fr. DpDr is a liar you are safe and are good bro.

    I know DPDR can be scary but just remember that it’s a natural reaction to stress and anxiety, and people experience it all the time. The National Institute on Mental Illness estimates that up to 75% of people experience at least one depersonalization / derealization episode in their lives. It's part of your brain's natural defence mechanism and usually it only lasts a few seconds or minutes at a time. It's only when it's focused on as a separate problem (feeling like you're going crazy / in a dream etc) that it can turn into a feedback loop with the anxiety that caused it in the first place. But no matter what caused it or how long you've had it, you can always switch it off completely by stopping that anxious feedback loop. Make sure to carefully read through all the articles and info on my website at www.dpmanual.com and my book The Depersonalization Manual. And if you would like to speak to a medical professional please don't hesitate to do so. I would recommend finding an anxiety specialist if possible as they will likely be more familiar with DPDR 👍

    Headaches + head pressure are a very common symptom of DPDR and all anxiety-based conditions 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-exhaustion-and-muscle-pain/
