You’re not and it’s totally normal to think that. You see the system we have as humans that detects dangerous things is outdated, for example back in the day when we were like cave men, when we would see something like a predator we would get frightened and run or freeze and have other anxiety symptoms. But in today’s world we don’t really encounter things like that anymore what we deal with is modern stress which causes you to feel anxious but you’re brain doesn’t see imminent danger like a bear or a lion so then it’s starts to think well if I don’t see shit like that then I must be going crazy but ur not it’s just “modern stress” and once you understand that and chill out everything will be ok, I dealt with the same thing but I went to a physiologist and he helped me understand how anxiety works and I’m fine now :) hope this helps you and others 👍🏼

It feels like my soul left my body.

nothing feels real after i had my first panic attack which happened at a random time. one of the hardest things ive ever had to deal with

I started with DR in 2001 after extreme depression and childhood anxiety/trauma. I discovered the same as this guy really on my own (the dp manual is a great guided tool). I had it for 10 years as I then suffered post natal depression with my son which I had for about 5 yrs, DP was awful, I’m not sure how I did it , it ruined my 20s, but when I had it was when there wasn’t much known about it, nothing on the internet, thought I was going to lose my mind. Doing this technique and taking citalopram saved my life. Stay away from excessive drinking because a hangover brings on DP and steer clear of too much caffeine & cannabis! If I go somewhere new, I still experience DR for a few days, but that’s only because I had it for so long in the first place, but I’m used to that. I’m 41 now, my son is a wonderful 17 year old and an Oxford University candidate , things I genuinely never thought I would live to see.,but I find so much pleasure in the little things now. I’m finally happy & it’s left me with a wicked dark sense of humour 😊x

I've dealt with it since I was 7. The moment I found that state has a name, and it's not dangerous even though its incredibly terrifying, it subsided. The moment I realized it's in fact not as scary as it seems it went away. And it's true, as long as you think "oh my god, I'm going insane, what if I never go back to normal??" while in this state, it continues. The moment you realize what it actually is, it's gone.

The scariest part is growing up this way and coming out of it as an adult. Wouldn't wish this on anyone. I feel like I'm going absolutely insane but I'm more me than I've ever felt.

I have some questions: 1- What the guy said is false right? There are moments where you don't feel derealization, there are moments where you feel connected, right? 2- According to what I told you, am I on the right track? Am I making progress and soon will I get over it completely? 3- I saw that in a video you explained that currently you only feel it when you have a lot of stress, is there really a way to control stress so that you no longer feel that feeling once it is over? Will the feeling always come back to me at some point? Or at some point is it going to disappear permanently? Pls if you answer my questions it would help me a lot.

"Scared I was going to be stuck like this forever." SO accurate, as is everything said in this clip.

I'm going to try to simulate my DPDR as best I can. I wake up, and I'm in my room, looking at my bookshelf. Then BAM! All of a sudden the bookshelf doesn't feel like it's mine, and the way I've always thought about that bookshelf feels altered or weird. I continue looking at the bookshelf trying to remind myself that it's mine and I think about when I bought that bookshelf, and then I'm thinking about how I felt when I first got the bookshelf back in 2002. "Wait a second, is it 2002? No, it's 2023," I keep telling myself to ground myself in the present, and then for a split second, I can't remember if buying that bookshelf was real or if was a dream. I begin to sweat because I'm looking at the bookshelf through the eyes of myself back in 2002. Snap out of it! That was just too weird. Then I stand up. Oh no! I thought it was over, but it's not because now I can't feel my feet. I look down. Are those my feet, or am I dreaming? I march in place looking down, the impact from my feet touching the floor feels like 0 gravity or something. Wait! Am I dreaming that I'm marching right now? My heart starts beating faster. When was I looking at the bookshelf? Was that 2 minutes ago or an hour ago? I look up at not just the bookshelf, but my entire room, and my heart starts beating even faster... Why doesn't my room feel like my room? It is my room, but it's not! My chest tightens. The more I breathe, the more staggered my vision gets. Woh... Did I just spend 10 minutes looking at my bookshelf contemplating if it's mine, or was THAT a dream? Wait, it's still 2023, right? We're not in 2002. My phone rings. Oh thank god, its Joey! Talking to him will snap me out of this. Joey answers, but he doesn't sound like him!!! Is Joey actually my friend? Joey tries to tell me a story about our friend Lola. Wait, is Lola real? I get a pit in my stomach and the panic attack begins. And each time Joey says something it feels like I'm going to throw up because I can't tell if he's really talking to me, or how long he's been talking to me. Am I alone? I feel so alone. I panic again because I get overwhelmed thinking that this will last for eternity. What will I do tomorrow? ...heart beats faster... And then the next day? ... heart beats even faster... And then next day? ...And the vicious cycle continues

Went through DPDR back in 2014. I'm 100% myself again. Took me a few months to get out of it. This will pass! You got this!

Congratulations you found my comment. The only way you can get rid of dpdr is by accepting it as a part of your life. No matter how scary or weird it becomes (like remember the times you got startled by your own reflection?). First give the experience a name. Criticise and laugh at it. Because the way you feel, it doesnt get worse dont worry. Once you can accept it you can live your life normally. And soon after the acceptance stage it will go away without you even noticing and your mental strength becomes even stronger. I wish you all luck with your issues and remember Allah is always with you.

Your nervous system is biological, not psychological. So while accepting it might help you ride the waves of mental anguish, to stop the waves, you have to do that physically. Please try (in order of importance) iron supplementation, vitamin d, a multivitamin (for trace minerals), and vigorous exercise. You will see vast improvement & Immense RELIEF. Peace to you all.

@@ioanna3572 absolutely. have you had a chance to read reddit, there’s a good amount of people who attest to finding relief through iron supplementation. furthermore, a lot of the respondents on the dpdr forum report low magnesium, calcium, etc. since your nervous system is electrical, it stands to reason that replenishing the metals (iron/magnesium) and salts (calcium/potassium) will improve the system’s operation and your experience. there are also medical studies which found associations between panic and anxiety disorders (dpdr is one) and low iron. best of luck to you!

I thought that I was the only one and wondered if anyone else was experiencing anything like this. I didn't even know derealization was a thing until today. Idk if this has anything to do with it but this is also something I experience. I'll be in a moving car and I'll be looking in the distance and everything will seem so clear then I'll feel like I'm falling and have to hold on to something so I won't float away. It's the worst feeling I have ever felt. I'll close my eyes till it goes away, I'll tell everyone that I'm just tired so I don't have to explain it to them cuz they won't understand. I actually feel like I'm crazy. Sometimes I can feel it about to happen and I try to suppress it but sometimes it makes it worse cuz then I start thinking of it, and when I think about it to much it comes in strong. It makes me feel like I'm dreaming sometimes. And sometimes I can't control my face expressions. I can't really go to the movies anymore for some reason. Sometimes I feel like I can't talk to my mom and siblings. I can't even see my friends anymore cuz it'll get worse and I'll just hide in the bathroom till they leave. I feel like a terrible person but I really hate feeling it and I can't explain it to anyone. I can't have a job and I can't be around people I know unless my mom is with me or something. Im 18 and I feel like a failure. I don't wanna live like this anymore, I really feel like I can't do it. Im always in a dream state and feel like I'm floating away. I'm tired of having to hold myself down so I don't float into space.

My advice would be to continue the pursuit that you were on. Whether it's school or whatever. Don't think about it and just focus on the things you want to accomplish. Sleep 8 hours , eat healthy, go for a morning walk everyday and get some movement in throughout the day. Drink 3 litres of water everyday and do some strength training, getting a gym membership would be ideal and be consistent. Focus on the pursuit of life. That's what matters.

I have to say…as someone who has this. It is the most scariest thing I’ve ever experienced and it honestly feels like you’re going mentally insane

So I suffered from this back in 2014.. it happened one day when I was smoking some bud on my balcony. I went inside and it just hit me for the first time. Slowly and slowly I quit smoking but the feeling stayed. It even got worse. But eventually the symptoms were farther apart and I finally felt like I beat it. Now I just get it every so often opposed to everyday all day. Stay strong friends. You’ll get thru it.

I'm going through the same exact thing. I was smoking bud in front of my house and all of a sudden it started kicking in for me too. I felt like part of me wasn't here or awake I started freaking out everyday, I still have nightmares that makes me scared to fall asleep but slowly I've accepted it and I feel like I've been recovering slowly. Im never smoking weed ever again.

Tbh this is the main reason it isn't worse for me. Since I don't go out much it isn't a big deal for me and I know I can just push through it which makes it happen a lot less. It happened more when I was all scared about it but now I'm not as scared and it's calmed down a lot more because I've calmed down a lot more. The main trick with anxiety disorders is to not be as afraid of it.

Wonderful advice. The problem is explaining the cure is almost as difficult as as explaining what DPDR is. It's super hard to convince someone suffering from it how to surrender and find acceptance. Truly though, once I found this out, once I stopped fighting and let go, I realized that the ability to accept pain was something I could apply to every part of my life!

I had derealization and everyday was just torture for me. I always felt scared, and would wonder when it would go away.

For me it was the process of gaining enough experiences on the new “side” of my life. It was like rebuilding myself. I remember going through the days being unable to do what I thought should be simple things, but they were impossible bc everything relied on memories from before. Gradually I realized that when I focused on things I had learned/experienced only on the “new side” I didn’t have to be afraid all the time. What was important was starting with non-emotional experiences. Like swimming or feeling cold after taking a shower. Real things that were happening to my body in the moment let me hang onto a sense of reality. Gradually I started building real emotional relationships to experiences again and not just faking my reactions to keep up appearances.

Other times it’s happened to me was during EXTREME stressful situations and it would last me a week or two but I always knew it would pass & eventually I went to bed one night and woke up and it was gone per usual.

I'm going through depersonalization and I feel so weird. I was given Fentanyl at the hospital for pain February 3rd, the next day when i awoke i had a severe panic attack that i have ever had in my life. The panic went on 24/7 for a week straight. I went to the emergy room everyday from fear of dying. It got so bad i had to go to an psychiatric hospital for 5 days. I have not been the same since. One day I felt I was going back to normal then I freaked out because. I didn't know if I was really " normal" or just going crazy. It's been 2 months now, and I really don't know if I can recognize what " normal is anymore. How does anything like this even exist? I have anxiety and depression as well. I have been praying constantly for this to leave😢My son is graduating highschool in June and I need to get better. I'm so scared to be in that huge stadium feeling like this. My sons know something is wrong, but they really dont know how awful it is. I have shut my family out, my siblings are my bestfriends and I told them I can't see them until I'm better😢 Everyone seems "fake" to me. Life seems fake. I pray God hears my prayers and cries.

I've been dealing with this for yrs along with many other things...dissociation, derealization, depersonalization, anxiety depression. When you've had it all for yrs and yrs it all blends together. There is no getting rid of it right away or fixing it forever. Really the only way out of it is to go through, you really do have to fight your way back to the center of yourself again and it can be really hard some weeks. It does get better you just have to...do things that keep you steady on the horse and not easily knocked off again is how I'd put it. But even if you do get knocked off again, and sometimes you won't even realize you were, it's okay, let yourself go through it all and slowly you will find your way back to yourself again.

I developed derealization 15 years ago and although it’s gotten much better and I’m used to it now. I still am not 100 percent back. I really wish one day my brain will click back fully to reality again but oh well

I got DPDR from a traumatic experience involving marijuana edibles. My high was so bad, that I called 911 on myself because I perceived the symptoms as myself dying. I had a 2 year long struggle with panic disorder and DPDR, but I have emerged on the other side as the victor. The only way you can change who you are, is change what you do. Act in spite of your feelings, not because of them. DPDR was legitimately the greatest thing that ever happened to me, because it forced me to stare into the void of my shallow existence and really ponder the issues in my life. I'm doing so much better mentally than I was before the condition. For anyone out there struggling, please take these words to heart and never give up. You are in control of your own fate, trust me.

My doctor told me it was depression and anxiety. It’s been two years now and I still deal with these symptoms off and on. 😢

It felt like I was seeing myself through a lens almost like watching myself in a play and I could hear that obviously critical voice explaining and concluding the story I was watching of myself and everyone. It’s a crazy shit. Nothing feels quite real in the moment. Connecting with others becomes even harder. I couldn’t finish the night with everyone, I called it a night after an hour or so of it persisting. I really need to prioritise meditation and self care. Because life has been freaking stressful for the past few months.

Even if you have a blank mind, your movements are still your own, and you are definitely not going crazy, insane or anything above that.

I feel like everything and everyone around be is just not real and I’m in a dream or something this really affects me and scared me to death

That disorder made me not even feel cold when it's cold,very weird feeling of being like trapped or going insane, wish well for y'all ❤we can concur it.

Much love for this video, spiralled out of control and flow state, extremely anxious. Thank you for helping me overcome my temporary symptoms 💪🏻👊🏻

I started dealing with this when I was 9 years old after I got accidentally hit on the face after that it just kept happening suddenly especially when I went to a crowded place. It’s scary especially when you are a kid in the 90s who had no idea what anxiety was. I just kept reassuring myself that I’m not crazy and just act as normal as I could. As the years went by it slowly went away but I still feel as if I’m about to get one in and I stop in it’s tracks

Thank you so much for letting me know what this state of mind actually is, this video feels like such a wake up call, I’m feeling way better about this now..

going through this right now and im starting to try to accept it.

Am I the only one who actually feel better when I do this. Like, it feels much better than reality. Although it's an uneasy feeling, it feels better than some realities in our lives

I suffered from this for a year (fkn terrifying) and got rid of it thanks to a therapist. Mine were because of severe rumination. I have tips for those who need help.

pls share your tips 🙏

Does anyone else have the feeling time goes by really quickly when dealing with it, like it'll be 9 o'clock at night but it feels like your day just started like an hour ago.?

Yes absolutely, it’s just a stress response your body has sent out to calm you down, you’ve overworked your stress levels from anxiety or a similar event and your body thinks you are in danger, so it limits all function of your reasonable brain to try and stop the thoughts that were making you anxious or scared in the first place. I am currently dealing with this right now because I believe I have really bad health anxiety and I constantly worry now about something wrong with my body. I feel like I’ve lost memory but I obviously haven’t, I feel like one minute im at work and then the next I’m back at home, but that’s obviously not true.

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: Acceptance. 100% accept at all times what your are feeling. You don't have to engage with it. Just as radio noise in the background. Let go. Let go of all the thoughts you have. Don't take them seriously, no matter how grotesque or annoying they are. They are just thoughts. They don't control you unless you actively want them to. Relax. Don't fight the process. Breathe. Spend time in nature. Curiosity. Be curious and face your fear. Try to find where the actual fear is coming from. You will sooner or later see that the source does not exist, and the fear will dissipate by itself. Hope this helps

Bruh I’m definitely going through this now and it’s been probably over a month now. I hate it. I’m expecting a daughter this year and I want to get right for her! I will fight this 💪🏽

i hope this story can help someone who is going through this and can’t seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have depersonalization depression and severe anxiety. Also PTSD from the events in this story I’m about to tell. I had none of these disorders or problems in my life, it seems just yesterday but it’s been almost 7 years and I blinked and I’m here. I Got it in 2017 when I was 17. I took ecstasy for the first time and had a great night. Then my friends pulled out a Ouija board, i freaked out and told them to put it away and they did, never ended up using it. But since a kid I had a fear of paranormal shit because my mom would go to cemeteries and take pictures and catch a bunchhh of orbs and stuff and if I wanted my Doritos and Mountain Dew at midnight, I had to tag along for the cemetery. Ok, Back to the night. So, I proceeded to enjoy my night and walked to my grandmas and slept on her couch. I smoked weed every day since 13 without Any problems. I loved weed. So I wake up on my grams couch and I go over to my buddies house and smoked a dab… I LOST MY FUCKING MIND started having my tongue shoved down my throat but I felt it, and it was still fine in my mouth. I started feeling like I was inside of another body and I started hearing this voice saying it was gonna kill me yelling and saying it’s name over and over and I ran out of my friends and started hearing death metal in my ear. I went to the hospital and they said I got psychosis from a chemical imbalance caused by the ecstasy. *keep in mind, I didn’t believe in depression or anxiety at that age* And I was having melt downs, about 4 days later, I was getting better. I said “must’ve been a bad trip” and smoked some weed with my buddy and I said “I can smoke again!” And I felt fine just not so bud and later that Friday I slept over the buddies house who had the ouija board in his basement and we smoked that night I went to bed. All was fine, until we went down in the basement… we sparked up a blunt and I took 2 hits and and looked at the Ouija board.. it was like a trigger because I started having another earth shattering melt down and the voice came back I was screaming to leave or it would kill me. I was scared to tell my friend *the voice was in the room screaming at me. Not inner dialogue* So I said “I gotta take a walk” And when I got outside I tried shooting some basketball and take a breather, THE VOICE WAS SCREAMING from the window in the house. “You will die! ILL KILL YOU! Leave!” I lost it… crying and praying immediately. It is one of the craziest reality checks when you think you’re going to lose your mind or be stuck crazy for the rest of your life. It’s life changing. Back to the story, I ran to my grams and told her to call the church. Idk what church lol anything to get this demon off my back. My parents picked me up and I went home. I’ve heard the voice a couple times maybe 4 in the last 7 years since, when I’m having an episode or something. but it’s mostly only PTSD from it. It was so traumatic that I got depersonalization from it, because that was the only way the body knew how to protect me from the panic attacks of the fake reality and earth crushing feelings of somehow I will drop from sudden death. these feelings came upon me quite often when I would dissociate because I didn’t know I had it. I thought the feeling of dissociation was the demon entering into my body and taking over! Since that day I haven’t had a SINGLE day without severe anxiety but having faith in god SAVED MY LIFE. For me personally, the ptsd from that and the Depersonalization that came from the panic, probably won’t go away fully ever. but Atleast I got something to keep me alive, FAITH. When I thought I was possessed by a demon because of the out of body feelings, and not feeling real/always feeling dissociated when anxiety kicked in, I was scared for my life Every. Single. Day. I lost my mind for years and that spark inside me, but I found out more about me than I would’ve ever known if I didn’t go through all of this and just stayed a pot head. I gained wisdom I definitely didn’t want but I’m happy for it now! “I knocked on churches saying HELP! I have a demon in me! I’m going to die!” They closed the door on me saying we can’t help… but my brother was in a church, the LDS church. I joined as fast as I could because I needed help or “i was going to die”. They took me in as their own. These people are amazing beautiful souls man I cannot thank them enough and I got baptized and the demon stuff faded away slowly once I ended up finding out it was just depersonalization that was the out of body feeling. and I still battle it to this day but I’m okay with it! because I know that there’s no harm coming from the feelings anymore. I slept in my parents bed for almost a year at 18 years old because of this… crying to them every single night that I lost my life and I’m cursed. They were so broken because they couldn’t do anything besides support me and they supported me to the fullest and helped me get through this and become the man I am today! i’ll probably always have it. I just gotta go with the flow. I make music and I miss my old life when i was 100%. used to be such a happy outgoing kid and still am deep down, But this shit turned me into a negative depressed, lazy and SEVERELY scared person. Since I first had the attack, I went from 265 pounds to 420 pounds and in bed 80% of the time. I became addicted to drugs and alcohol since I “lost my mind” but I’m 8 months sober now and 350 pounds and it’s going to be a fight for life, but I’m slowly getting more happy and finding my purpose. Despite most days being numb and anxiety in my chest, I have The good days where I can feel more, and they are so fucking great because I’m able to appreciate little things again! Beautiful sights, songs, birds, nature, laughs ect. Turning to god saved my life. I wanted to unalive myself for a long time. And i might not go to church physically as much anymore, but the love I feel JUST from simply having faith that god will keep me at least sane and that he gave me the real answer as to what I was going through, is more comforting than anything money could buy in this world. I love anyone who is reading this! And I’m praying for you and anything you’re going through 🙏🏻❤️ we’re in this fight together. You ARE loved, worth it, and NOT ALONE!
