I would never wish this disorder on my worst enemy. It's the worst feeling and leaves you feeling lonely and numb.

Sometimes i get so scared of myself. I feel like i can never love anyone wholeheartedly, not even my parents or my friends or myself.

I clicked on this because I was trying to figure out why I can't feel love towards another person

The music/sound in this video is horrendous and distracting.

I feel that I am unable to love anyone anymore..it feels like after waking up I am just acting to be a son, a bf, a friend, a brother with different people.. literally just pretending to be myself..it feels like I am employed by me to act like me.

I feel like im in a dream and every second im gonna wakeup but i never wakeup

Anyone ever get scared about relationships because not sure whether your feelings are correct and feels artificial?

So much ignorance in the comments, you don't know the pain until you experience it. 2 years of DP for me and counting.

i cant feel love for anyone anymore. but like..i know who i love. i just don’t feel it.

DP/DR is a blessing in disguise. It's the beginning of the ego not being the in drivers seat all the time anymore. The ego thinks it's dying. You're not. It's actually a very beautiful thing that is happening. You are waking up. Give yourself time to go though this process. The greatest help I found in my process was this:

It starts at any time but usually at early adolescence or early adulthood. It appears as a defence mechanism against severe anxiety, trauma by switching of reality. You know that you love your family but you sort of know it academically rather than feel it.

I always feel like I am no longer human. I am just existing doing role-playing in real life.

This is very real, and it is hell. I've had depersonalization disorder since 2004

I don’t want to be one of those people that self-diagnose them selfs but I relate to everything in this video 😐

Waking up and you can just end it all, cause nothing feels real, nothing. It sounds so simple but you have no idea how scary and empty it feels

Everyone in this comment section saying you a living with this...holy hell. I had no idea something like this even exists..this is like hell on earth..I am so very sorry and I wish you all to return back to normal asap. Doctors, specialists, scientists where you at??

I’ve had it for almost 2 years. Honestly it was the worse feeling ever waking up everyday having panic attacks, feeling like I was in a dream, looking in the mirror and freaking out. I hope everyone that’s going through this recovers. You will and you can. The gym honestly helps and self care. Keep taking care of yourself and eating healthy foods! Keep surrounding yourself with great people❤

I suffered from this for less than a year. It felt as if I was a passenger in my own body. I sometimes stared at my hand and asked "who's hand is this"? Words coming from my mouth....it was me but it didnt really feel like me. It became quite frustrating trying to break out of this bubble.

I believe there is a form of this where you can love those close to you but still have an overwhelming feeling like you are never really there with them, even if you want to be. You can be sitting right next to them and be a billion miles away.

I don't love anyone. The concept of love is alien to me. I feel like we're conditioned by society to follow an order, love, marriage, kids, family and friends, but doesn't come naturally to me.
