John (18) is from Chicago. In August of 2023, John developed Depersonalization Disorder after a series of panic attacks. As he described it: "I felt very aware of myself, constantly questioning if I felt real, and everything felt 'off'. I was in a constant state of DPDR, and felt very lost and anxiety-ridden."

You are talking all the time about recovery but do you mean also the 100% recovery of anxiety or only the Dpdr? And can you recover completely and permanent because everybody keeps telling me that it always can come back in stressfull situations and the risk of getting another mental disorder is higher now

It's estimated that around 75% of people will experience them. They're perfectly natural and they're meant to happen briefly and fade away quickly. What you shouldn't be feeling are constant, ongoing feelings of disconnection (which is Depersonalization Disorder), and you can recover from that,100% 😊www.dpmanual.com/articles/back-to-normal-after-depersonalization/

    Thanks so much! I have been going to some very scary experiences in the last few weeks. Like feeling like am I awake or dreaming? all of the time and thoughts that are worse. I had no clue what is was. The only change was that I have stopped drinking alcohol four weeks ago. I didn't miss the drinking that much but I knew I felt horrible for what was going on in my head. Then last monday I remembered a doctor had asked me right after I stopped drinking alcohol: Do you have derealisation? It sounded so weird to me that I just made a joke like, I am not that crazy! So last monday I googled derealisation and found out, yes this is exactly what I have! What a relief. It is not completely gone but to know that I am not the only person in the world having it helps so much. And the good thing is, when you google how to get rid of it, the first advice is, if you drink alcohol or use drugs, stop that. That is what I have just done.

    Depersonalization is not a habit of thought, it is a symptom/defense of the mind and body in response to the anxiety and adrenaline of a dysregulated nervous system. I have faith that this will pass, there is no recipe for this to happen. I'm quite patient, I always get distracted, but she's there 24/7. I have faith that this will pass, but it has been very difficult to face this every day. Strength to all those who survive this

    It feels like I don’t know why i enjoyed any of my interests. The emotional disconnect is so real. It feels like for some of them I just… don’t care when I used to perk up about them, or enjoy watching other people’s reactions to them, or sharing them. Now it feels like the core of who I am is gone. Like I’m just swirling around, feeling like I’m at random different stages of my life. My memory is all over the place, with the things I want to remember feeling distant or like they’re someone else’s memories, while I’m simultaneously getting random flashbacks to other memories from my life, with state-specific memory meaning that I can’t feel the emotion, random concepts that used to make perfect sense feel foreign and strange, people feel foreign and strange. The things I relied on last time I was through this aren’t working this time (the new thing I found to distract me and slowly obsess over became a core special interest for me, and now it’s suddenly gone in terms of being an interest). Reality, the future, everything I ever cared about feels so distant or not real. The events happening around me and to me, events I’m directly participating in, feel like I’m missing out on them. It’s like I have to remember what I liked/disliked instead of just feeling it. It’s hard to read stories or connect with characters because there’s no emotional connection. I remember finding some things funny but now I can’t tell. I remember being really passionate or opinionated but now I can’t be. I remember having strong emotions, but now sometimes it feels like I don’t care about anything. To the point of not being able to worry about my real life problems, or relate to anyone else’s. Especially when the concept of violence or death comes up, like when did it make me feel different ways (sad, upset, okay with it if it was a joke, if it was supposed to be campy, or if it was a joke that I didn’t find funny, or a fun action scene, or if it was genuinely something I didn’t care about, or if it was one of those times where it was upsetting in the moment and then you joke about it later like in a movie or tv show or something). Sometimes it feels like I was always like this and that I was somehow faking it in the past. It’s frustrating, it’s upsetting, it’s sad, it’s bizarre. I feel so much regret for all the things I put off due to not having time, not having money, or just executive dysfunction, because now it feels like I’ll never be able to do those things ever again. I feel like I’m mourning myself. Last time I was like this, I felt like I didn’t come back “the same” or that my memories from before were always fuzzy/distant. It also felt like it took time after I “healed” to rebuild myself, something I could only really do thanks to being in 24/7 contact with my college roommates in our dorm, as well as being introduced to a new special interest that acted as a distraction. I don’t know if I can ever replicate that. Plus I’m almost 25. My early 20s are almost behind me. I felt like I had so much growth and was finally able to find myself in these last 3 years since my last major DPDR, and now it all feels… gone. I can’t obsess over my interests, or be fascinated by things, or relate to people, or work on my flaws, or anything. I hate this. I’m trying to live like normal, going through the motions of what i normally do, trying my best to act like nothing is wrong, acknowledging the feelings and letting them pass, but when I feel calm, I also feel empty. Like there’s nothing there. Then the anxiety comes rushing back. I’m scared of permanently losing my interests. I’m scared of changing, coming back different. I’m scared of having to live my life in segments like this instead of having it flow and progress. I’m triggered a lot by people who have the same personality, interests, and hobbies as if they’ve never suddenly… stopped being themselves. As if they’ve never broke, in the way I feel broken right now. When I see people who make KZread videos or stream or make comics or animate or play sports or have a favorite thing they love to talk about, without suddenly losing all of that. Without suddenly feeling like they are a different person altogether. Especially as an autistic person, who can suddenly no longer relate to the autistic community (having special interests, being able to infodump, etc).

    I'm sorry to hear this. It bothers me what you're going through. You're focusing the wrong focus: You're dividing your focus into two parts: one is on life and the other is on your thinking or commentary on life. When you were normal, you focused on only one thing, which is life, and not your thinking about life, which causes a difference in feelings

    When you are in an emotional state, you are watching your favorite movie or going with your family. Here, you cut off the signals that go to the brain and prevent them from reaching you, and you begin not to feel things directly, but rather you feel through an intermediary path. You are introducing thoughts between your brain and your feelings, so that you will not feel your feelings, but rather you will feel them through the thoughts that entered between your feelings and your brain. Yes, diverting attention to other things is very important .. ا cuz once you start forcing your mind out of the loop, your emotions come back by themselves without you even noticing it, and ironically that happens only when you stop checking if they're back (stop counting the days you have it). Treatment is not about wanting or wishing to experience the feeling, but rather abandoning the examination, and with the passage of time, you will return to integrating into yourself without noticing. After all, the less questions you ask yourself and the less time you spend looking for answers, the quicker you will move on from this. So have patience and a great recovery!

    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.

I was 17 last year and i turned 18 with dp and pissed off. The fact is that now i know what it is i know that’s not dangerous i know everything about it but i still can’t live life as an 18 year old. I’m from Italy. The terrifying thoughts have evolved, the one that frightens me the most right now is that i seemingly don’t have dp anymore but my brain is so used in thinking in that way that it will remain like that forever. At this point i even solved all the things i thought might have caused it, as a matter of fact my brain things “If i was the same me as right now, but just never known what dp is and never started losing my thoughts, i would have been the happiest Me in my entire life.” I solved everything, except dp. I’m stuck. What traumatized me at the beginning of it was literally looking at things, and to this day i can’t look anything before i immediately start thinking things that i’m not supposed to. Can’t look at a mountain freely, and i’m supposed to get a driving license? There’s literally nothing wrong in my life right now, but still…

    Hi, new here. Could someone let me know if any of the videos touch on DR/DP in relation to existential OCD and or autism/adhd. What I’m trying to figure out without overwhelming myself is am I constantly going to face DR/DP because of my other mental disorders (including cPTSD) I realize anxiety will always exist for me, but the DP/DR part is shrinking my world further. Thought I’d ask. Videos I have watched are informative. 😊🧠💫

    Hey Scott, welcome to the channel! 😊 And don’t worry, existential / intrusive thoughts like that are super common with DPDR. I know they can be frustrating and frightening but they are also temporary and harmless and will fade away and stop as your recovery continues 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-fears-and-anxious-thoughts/

    I don’t know if this part of dpdr but i have had dpdr for about 8 years now and on December 17 a 2 days after a bad cannabis experience I saw a video about skin walkers and i suddenly had a thought what if my family members are skin walkers and it freaked me out I knew it wasn’t real but it still frightened me and i had that thought for a couple days then it went away then it came back. Should I be worried?

    Hi! I have a question, is physical and sensorial numbness related to DPDR? Like, since i am in DPDR, i am less sensible to cold/hot temperature, food taste, noises, sounds, touching etc.? I am now 6 days with dpdr even tho i am not really thinking about it and i feel way better in comparison of 4 days ago! Thanks to anyone that will reply my question!

    Hi! I've been feeling a lot better lately after having a rough time with dpdr, but I still get bits of it and some scary thoughts every now and then, does it all go away completely once you are fully recovered? And if so how do I keep track of my recovery process?

    Hey, thanks for your comment. Firstly, please make sure that you’re speaking to your parents about what’s happening. It’s very important that they know what’s going on. Secondly, I know DPDR can be frightening but remember that it's just your body and brain's natural response to stress and anxiety. It's not permanent and it can't hurt you. You can and will recover. Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website at www.dpmanual.com 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 👍

    Guys keep questioning ur anxiety and negative thoughts and just be aware of them without any kind of restriction even if there is any restriction be aware of that also I'm sure everything would go away and diminish

    I'm sorry to hear you've been having a difficult time. But don't worry, it doesn't matter what caused it, how long it’s lasted, or whether it’s been 24/7 or episodic, you can always switch DPDR off completely by stopping the anxiety that's causing it. Read this carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/how-long-does-depersonalization-last/ And if you would like to speak to a medical professional please don't hesitate to do so.
