Another great video man, you have such a wonderful grasp on DPDR, it is the truth, I had years in high school I don’t remember because I was so dissociated and coping with video games. It’s crazy when your mind is clear again. Keep these up, you are the MAN!

The memory feels volatile in this state, like the influx of information is processed but just leaves straight away. Even long term memories are extremely difficult to access. Thank you for dispelling our fears!

One of the best videos on KZread explaing this, thank you for sharing this

Thank you so much for this video. Came across your comment in an Fb meme and got curious about how depersonalisation affects our memory. For a long time now I felt that I was bad at retaining my memory and felt embarrassed and ashamed of it, slowly but surely I started feeling detached to everyone I considered close to me. I felt insecure about my bond with them and no longer recalled what brought us closer. I did feel a strong sense of care and appreciation for them and 'recalled' how we used to have fun through the emotions i felt then, but for the life of me no longer remembered what exactly happened or even what we conversed. I used to read alot and enjoyed it, but lately it has been difficult to retain the information I have been reading. Only recently, I tried to really put my focus and attention into the thing or experience I want to remember and I suppose its working? Afterwards I'd try my best to recall and will myself not to forget the experiences or things most significant to me I try my best to recall often and so now I feel I dont forget as much or as badly as I did before. Again thank you, sorry for the long comment😅 I felt now this video helped clarify my worries and somehow justified what I experienced before.

I am glad that the video helped! No problem for the long comment I do that often. It's fantastic that you have experienced improvements as well.

It’s intresting how our minds record and stores memory during dp/dr but disables the ability to access them. All because it is too internally focused trying to protect us from stress. I feel like certain information I tried to remember several days earlier can pop up randomly in my head at times where I don’t really have need of them. I’ve made progress enough to have days where my mind works effortlessly like it should.

Wow, I can't thank you enough for making these videos. I've seen this and other topics explained by other mental health professionals but I think your combination of detailed illustration, clear communication and of course having actually experiences these things really make this content easy to understand for me. I relate to basically everything you have said, the inablility to remember things, to focus on anything, to learn, a horrible perception of time, really affected my identity because I feel so detached from most things it's hard to know who I am, it's also really hard for me to watch any kind of show and stay focused and enjoy it, reading is very difficult, I also heard you mention 'visual haze', I'm not sure exactly what it is but I experience this thing where I look at stuff and it just looks foggy and I can't exactly say what i'm looking at with any degree of confidence, for example if I am driving and I look in the side mirrors to know if it is safe to switch lanes I can often find It very difficult to decide if it is indeed safe to do so because it looks foggy. I don't know of that is indeed what you meant by visual haze but I will look into it more. Sorry for the rant, just felt good to have a better understanding of these things and be able to Express them, you are right in that the fear associated with not understanding is one of the most difficult things. I've had these symptoms for years now but I think during quarantine things worsened. Thank you so much again, love from Trinidad (Caribbean)

Hey bro! How are you now?

It has happened to me. I have started learning quechua (native Andean language) and I was repeating a reading and suddenly I asked myself "have I already read this part?", because I couldn't remember a thing of what I had already read. Curiously, I have retaken German learning too but it doesn't happen to me. Maybe because I started with German long ago before this DP times? Very useful video, keep going. Greetings from Peru.

Hi this is a very informative and well explained video.i have been a dp sufferer since 4 yrs,my dp was triggered by some sort of meditation that dint suit me and I dint understand the key to my dp initially ,as meditation is known to be generally positive and so I continued exploring n doing different kind of meditations that would help dp,but none really helped me....The latest one that I tried by dr Joe dispenza ....got me into real trouble ....with intensifying my symptoms I was in a pathetic brain fog in the last 6 months,have had a poor functional memory and I have been battling all this since 8 months.i have restarted on medications,n it has helped me to a certain extent.it has been a rough road to recovery.

going through this before this I was working as Cg artist and software I learned Maya max c4d blender all that information is there but I am unable to grab it and now my days are going like at the end of the day I don't have any memory of all day or the previous day its feels like I m stuck in a time loop some time i feel like totally normal and sometimes it feels like I can't control my emotions and feeling and can't even think straight

It's normal to experience memory issues with depersonalisation/derealization, as I mentioned in the videos. I am not sure what website you are referring to, I don't have a website, just a Twitter account but did not see any messages. It is always best to speak to a therapist first and consider focusing on reducing the anxiety and stress first as these contribute to the DP/DR symptoms

@@HeartAndSoulOfHipHop In the past I did have experiences with finding it hard to remember things accurately yes, it did feel like memories were distorted. I think this is simply because when we can't focus we dont take in the information properly. Focus on reducing stress, anxiety and calming your mind - it takes time but the moment I was able to start doing this my memory gradually improved - simply because my mind was able to focus and take in information to later recall. When we are in the anxiety/stress state and may not notice it, our mind becomes preoccupied with the symptoms and thats why i find, it was hard to remember things.

I need someone to talk😩😩😩😩

I saw a video where this girl is talking about how her and her psychiatrist are working on two routes to see if it’s anxiety focused or psychosis focused so now I’m confused could you help me?
