Bro I recently got panic attack from marijuana, ever since my minds not feeling well I'm imagining any kind of symtoms. Can I recover from it without medication ?
I suffered for 19 days . Your videos helped me. I won’t even wish this for my worst enemy 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤮🤮
In and out of the reality cloud
I also first got it from weed. It was terrifying. I thought I was either dying or dead and in hell. I was shaking, crying it was just terrible. Then a couple years ago I started having heart palpatations and chest pain, turns out I was having a panic attack and I got DR again for two months. It went away for a little over two years and now its back. Im trying my best to just ignore it and hope it goes away soon
Hey Robert, thanks for your comment 😊 And don’t worry, that all sounds like a very typical case of weed-induced DPDR to me. I know it 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
I feel the same way. I’ve always been a very caring person but I’ve been in derealization for almost 3 years and I struggle to care about exactly what this guy talked about. And that scares me. Thank you for posting this
Thanks for your comment Joanna and I'm glad to hear the video was helpful. And don’t worry, feelings like you're describing (emotional numbness etc) are super common with DPDR. I know they can be frustrating but they will fade away and stop as you recover 😊 www.dpmanual.com/about/do-i-have-depersonalization-disorder/
I have that shit for So long, and become more worse, i haved panic attacks and more scared toughts, to my job, home, out, with friends ,everything this things followed me and didnt let me enioy my moments, indont know what Im supposed to do, your video is helpful, but i dont know what to Say… everytime i had a panic atack, this disorder become more advanced.. Im always tired and i want to sleep, before i was In relationship i had dpdr but this wasnt that bad, i feeled Ok with that and this doesnt maked me to think a lot about it and it didnt Affect me that much, but stayed focused once at something else to recover from that Little symptom, and it worked, and i was able to handle it and recover , but Now its something more different and powerful ,i cant stay No more focused. Its hard, cant Find a way out !
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 👍
1 year of dpdr 🎉🎉
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/
Hey Shaun. Question if you don’t mind I’ve found your book really helpful but there is one symptom that bugs me and my anxiety latches on to and tells me is something different - it being anhedonia or emotional numbing. I just don’t feel the pleasure or excitement from things like I used to. Is this normal for DPDR?
Is a “quieter” inner voice common with this. I feel as thought my thoughts are much quieter
Hey, question; you are saying that is important to think about other thinks, and not to focus on dpdr, en then it will slowly go away, and eventually like it never happened. But when you make your videos, you think all the time about dpdr when talking about it right? Don’t you ever have that same feeling again? After you’ve recovered?
Hi Michy, great question 😊 Yes, I talk about DPDR all the time but because the underlying feelings of anxiety that caused and perpetuated the condition are gone, I can speak it about from a rational and non-anxious perspective. So it doesn't trigger more feelings of anxiety / DPDR. Read this, I think you'll find it interesting 😊www.dpmanual.com/articles/does-depersonalization-come-back/
I grew up in a super dysfunctional environment and I can relate to this guys early experiences so much! The funny thing is when I was a kid it wasn't scary to me. It wasn't until I was an adult and started questioning everything that I started to wig out. Combine that with a bad drug experience and all the sudden "normal" became a psychotic break (in my mind).
Thanks for your comment and I'm so glad to hear the video was relatable! 😊
does anyone have it where they feel on edge more when making eye contact with people? or when driving you feel like your reactions are slightly more delayed & you feel more jumpy
Don't worry, symptoms like you're describing are super common with DPDR and will fade away and stop as you recover 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/should-you-drive-with-depersonalization/
Feel like im in 3rd person

@@Dpmanual it’s like my sense is out of tounch and I can’t feel and a lil paranoid
I feel that bro i smoked like 4months ago with my friends got really high since then i been feeling like shit brain is foggy but i try to not think about it and try to push it away i feel like its gona go soon 🤍take care of
Shaun please reply me loss of appetite is also a symptom 😭
Loss of appetite is very common with DPDR and all anxiety-based conditions: www.healthline.com/health/mental-health/anxiety-lose-appetite
This is really helpful, I have been experiencing this for 2 straight years and the reason was right infront of me I was just afraid of it and used to overthink about everything and every little and meaningless thing that made it even worse rather than helping me overcome it or help me figure out how to get rid of it. Once I stopped the worrying and overthinking it faded away so quickly and now I am able to feel things as before.
Delighted the video was so helpful 😊
Your doing something sinful and god is punishing you most times it’s either drugs or alcahol or sex and masterbation those things kill the spirit and get you punished repent and follow god
Im not sure if you’ll see this but can I still smoke even thought I’ve had depersonalization bc I’ve had many episodes after smoking weed
Read this and watch the video too, I think you'll find them helpful 😊www.dpmanual.com/articles/weed-after-depersonalization/
@@Dpmanual I appreciate I also wanted to know how to make the dp stop happening after smoking or is it just a psychological defense that goes away once you are used to the weed
@@stefanocruz4698 Firstly, as I explain in the article, I'd recommend avoiding weed until you're 100% recovered. Secondly, 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.

This is the most difficult symptom for me
It's a tough one but it'll fade away and stop as your recovery continues 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/back-to-normal-after-depersonalization/
I had the exact same mindset. But since I started following Shaun's Manual. I came a long way. You need to be strict with yourself and commit. Other than his material, and recovery stories posted by him. Stay away from all other source materials. You may not like or get terrified and start comparing and that I'd absolutely one of the worst things you can do
But can i drink Non Alcoholic beer with limonade? And does it increase dopamine drinking non alcoholic beer?
Never smoke again 😂
The thing with me id thay i dont fear the feeling of depersonalization itself, but i fear it not going away and this causes me to have dp, does this mean i have depersonalization disorder?
how can I not think about the DP/DR distracting myself, if I no longer care about anything about my life, because before entering it I had some bad news that I already couldn't get over and it brought me anxiety, and it had already created a depression in me I wasn't interested in anything anymore, and in this state I smoked a joint for the first time which made me enter the DP, now I've been in it for a month how can I not think about it if I no longer have anything to distract me since I don't I don't care about anything, and this feeling of zeroing out the emotions of DP doesn't make me face the cause of my depression before smoking, am I stuck like this?? How can I do it? Should I try to resolve the cause of the depression first and then go back to not thinking about the PD and making it disappear?? Thank you

@@Dpmanual ty
called out on the first one i was hesitant to think I had this because i did not have the memory loss and every video really emphasises you must have memory loss. I don't necessarily have it now while I am still somewhat dissociated but I probably did have it for like 10 years. Also I only would of had depersonlization not derealization.
Glad to hear the video was helpful! 😊
It feels as though my conciousness is the only thing that exists and sometimes I feel claustrophobic in my own body. I get this urge to want to get out of my body. Other times I feel uncomfortable just for existing.

I LOVE U ALL DP SUFFERERS LETS RECOVER. YOU, THE GUY IN THE VIDEO, I HAVE NEVER FELT SO RELIEVED! I FEEL NORMAL AND ANXIETY FREE. when i go back to my normal self i will keep this shit in mind! rhank u🩷🩷🩷🩷
Is it also possible to feel as though you’re reliving the same day? Or things happened already? Can dpdr be the cause or is that something different?

is it common to not recognize family, like i recognize they’re appearance but sometimes they just feel like strangers, like i never even knew them even though i know that’s my dad ect

@@Dpmanual thank you, even my boyfriend feels like a complete stranger and i feel so bad. i’m not sure what to do
Im having only visual disturbances out of the ten, but im worried that i might have it but i dont fear the feeling of depersonalization itself i only fear it not going away, does that mean i have it😢
Is it normal to feel to real if that makes sense it feel like I've opened like a bunch of stuff and now I can't seem to unsee them or I'm feeling like I'm back to normal but at the same time not I'm just scared and confused
Also everything looks so surreal and people flesh looks so wierd to me is this normal I feel like I've been traumatized or gotten some sort of ptsd
Yes, thoughts and feelings like are very common with DPDR 😊 Watch this, I think you'll find it very helpful: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g61npqN_dKW_Y5M.html
Hi Shaun i just wanted to request you that can you upload a video of your recovery story plzzz 😊
You can read my own Depersonalization Recovery story here 😊www.dpmanual.com/about/my-depersonalization-story/
I read your story, and that was very motivating and the last picture of you travelled in india was so good bcz I am also an Indian and I am also suffering dpdr. But thx so much, when i saw your videos of dpdr was so motivating and I was feeling so Better and now I am getting good and positive results from dpdr........ 👇 Nothing is impossible, The word itself says I'm possible!! ☺️☺️ Remember Shaun's sentence "You still can and will recover ".... thankyou
Does anybody else feel extremely uncomfortable driving! Like I feel the most intensity while in my car. It’s so uncomfortable & my eyes feel so sensitive! Feels like I’m about to lose my mind or everything is soo vivid. it’s awful 😢 sometimes I call people to “see how they’re doing” just to distract myself. Like uuugh is it just me?
Read this, I think you'll find it very useful 😊www.dpmanual.com/articles/should-you-drive-with-depersonalization/
I blacked out once after smoking weed... cam it be the reason causing my anxiety which im revovering from
The good news is that it doesn't matter what caused it, the method for recovery is always the same 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/what-causes-depersonalization-disorder/
Hey Shaun! Have you ever heard of a DPDR wave coming because someone expected it to happen? For instance, today I did something which normally causes me anxiety, so I became “hyper aware” and started checking myself for DPDR, and then it happened.
Hi, thanks for your comment 😊 Remember that ultimately, DPDR is just a symptom of anxiety so when the symptoms vary, it's just your anxiety levels going up and down, and certain situations / environments can change them. I know it might seem difficult to believe but you actually have complete control over it 😊 Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website, starting with this one: www.dpmanual.com/about/depersonalization-definition-what-is-it/
I have taken weed a 4 day back but i still fell high 24/7

So does it mean you don’t have to be on medication to recover?
I'm not a medical professional so can't give you specific recommendations re medication. But please read this article, I think you'll find it useful: www.dpmanual.com/articles/can-medication-cure-depersonalization/ And if you have any further questions on medication please don’t hesitate to speak to a medical professional.
Is it normal for DPDR to feel 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Is this temporary or chronic?
Yes, as with all anxiety-based conditions it's common to have periods where you're experiencing it 24/7 😊 I know it can be frustrating but it will become less constant and fade away and stop as your recovery continues. Watch this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qKahuqizlq2nkZc.htmlsi=HTaB8QBDM7sHNp-Z&t=196
