Thank you for sharing this video and sorry to hear that you've had it quite bad.
My worst times with DP were definitely when drugs were involved. Having DP already and then smoking weed really was not a clever thing to do, I actually thought I was dead and in hell.
It seems that you're experience is worse than mine although it may be possible that some symptoms are anxiety related and not specifically related to DP and although I have anxiety too the worst (or most annoying) thing is...
@SamIves85 ...having a thousand thoughts running through my head or that constant awareness where you cant just switch off. Normally and most days I get this feeling as you described where time seems to have vanished and minuets have passed without realising. This is actually something I enjoy as I get lost in my thoughts while I perform my daily work. Again, thanks for sharing your story, I'll check out your other video too :)
It's so strange - some of the things that you've said seem so specific, but I know exactly what you're talking about. Particularly having no memory of things that have just happened & not being able to filter out stimuli, which makes going out quite difficult.
Also, certain fluorescent lights seem to make me feel terrible (there's a certain supermarket here that I can't really go in). I knew I had DP when I was researching it and found that on the King's College London FAQ page.
