Just 2 months now, it's probably drug enduced. I don't know what to do with myself, I can't work, I can't do anything and nobody around knows how terrible it is, they just tell me to snap out of it.
Panic attacks, loss of apetite, the feeling of living life outside your body,the feeling of living in a dream, continuous negative thoughts, troubling and obsessive thoughts, excessive stress and worry, trouble sleeping. You are not alone. There are many others who have these experiences. I USE TO, but NO longer have them. I found what worked. I am NOT SELLING anything, I just want to share the process that freed me of anxiety. Please watch my intro. video for more info! Thanks, Stay positive!
Changing your thoughts is a good start. Now and then I can feel myself going back to normal then I suddenly panic and I'm stuck again. Your body is protecting you, that's why it keeps you in the darkness. I'm a very deep person so it's hard for me not to think deeply, and I know if I keep thinking deeply it will remain with me. I seem to flash from DP to DR every other week, seems like there's no escape but there is.
You CAN get over it. It's a shift in consciousness, the more you remain uncalm the longer you stay in the dream-like state of consciousness until you are released back into reality.
I'm 17 and I've suffered on and off with DP and DR. I need help but I know I can change it.
Problem is for me is that I'm calm and happy and it's still here. Has been with me since early december 2011
I have had dearealization for 4 years and it has ruined my life. It feels seriously like waking up from anesthesia and feeling out of it and dazed but can't do anything to escape the black hole disorder. I cling to jesus to get me by. It's like being in hell on earth.
I've had dp/dr for about eight years now. It's horrible,- it really is; I can't imagine many people being able to handle the symptoms very well without losing their mind somewhat. I've browsed through the various dp/dr online forums available, but they've been useless so far, as there were too many idiots and potheads posting on there. I've spoken to a few doctors about the subject, and they all said pretty much the same thing, that this is something that must be "cured" with a Psychiatrist.
For a long time growing up from about 13 to about 17 I thought I was simply going crazy. I felt like I was in a fog or a dream. All that. But all psychiatrists/therapists will agree that people don't "go crazy" and people that actually are crazy don't realize they are. Like schizophrenics and those with real mental disorders. Over the years I have realized that keeping busy, both physically and/or mentally is very helpful. Benzos are bad news and dangerous. Neurontin (gabapentin) has helped alot
For those of you struggling with this please hang in there. I only struggled with it for about 6 months but I know what the intense fear is like. Looking back on it its really mind over matters. The more you feed it, the worse it gets. There is a logical and objective way to look at reality and once you start to see it in that light, you'll never feel like you're in a constant dream again! Please message me if you want tips. I know exactly what its like to feel hopeless. But there is hope!
I think the key is to remember all the moments / periods of time when you have been fine.
If you keep those moments in the forefront of your mind it makes each day easier as you know you have the ability to be fine. You just need to tap into that positive mindstate.
Exercise helps ridiculously well, especially jogging in public.
I got through it in 15 months, in the end it's all about positivity, dealing with your problems and not harbouring tension. Go right to the source and deal with the things causing you stress and anxiety. I know it's not enough to just read that but look into Tension Myositis Syndrome. A lot of it is about back pain but really its about the connection between your conscious and subconscious.
It goes on about physical symptoms but it cured my Depersonalisation among other things.
For all you with those "symptoms", realise you have so much more in life to "fight" for now then others, and that makes you special and there is nothing wrong with you. Your life is now 100% more intressting then the rest 95% of the people. A tips for you...eat alot of vitamins and minerals all day, eat fishoil and drink green/black tea. those things makes your brain work better and you may feel alot better then before. At the same time, work with your mind "get back" to your body.
I LOVE YOU ALL ... I'M AN OLD MAN (41 . .LOL . . ) .. . AND I HAVEN'T HAD THIS SINCE 1989 .. .BUT IT WAS SO GOD DAMN WEIRD. ..THAT I STILL SOMETIMES CHECK ONLINE ABOUT IT ...TOO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY ADVANCEMENTS IN THE RESEARCH . . ... SEND ME A MESAGE IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS MORE... I WOULD LIKE TO HELP ANYONE THAT IS GOING THROUGH THIS STUFF. . .
YOUR "GOD" THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES MAKE YOUR FAVORITE PILL CANDY ! ! !
YOU STUPID FUCKER WANTING TO BE ON THESE PILLS ARE GOING TO BECOME SLAVES TO THE CORPORATE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES ! !
THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU FUCKERS, ALL YOU JACKASSES WANT TO BE ON PILLS AND NOW YOU CAN'T GET OFF OF THOSE PILLS AND IF YOU TRY YOUR GOING TO SUFFER BIG TIME FOR IT ! ! !
Hey guys i am 17 and i DID have dp and dr. I was thinking about this today and wanted to take some time to help people that were like me. If you would like to message me please do so i am here to help not sell anything haha. i promise i can help, i know what its like and how to overcome it.
I would highly recommend books by Peter Levine and Jasmine Lee Cori
on healing trauma. I believe DP to be a manifestation of PTSD, being stuck in "fight or flight" mode will create this defense in the brain, to numb a person out. I have suffered with DP for almost 40 years now and am just now figuring this out. if you want to talk, please write back.
if you were suffering from this and you were part of a tribal culture, it wouldnt be seen as a problem. you would have been embraced. we are on a spiritual journey and realise that depersonalisation is the dark part of the journey, the winter, the death of the old self so the new self can be reborn. ive been through hell because of this so called 'disorder' but now im beginning to realise it is not a disorder. it is an awakening
in the end i gave up on the medical world. look at it this way. this is all happening to us for a reason. we are part of a global consciousness shift. we have been shown by the universe that our bodies are not all that we are. most of humanity is in a dream state. we have awakened and realised the illusion of the senses
I have suffered from this for around 2 years now. I still panic and suffer. feeling like my bnody is just an empty shell and the only bits that are there and the parts i can feel physically. feeling like i no longer have any emotional connection to family, people that ive loved my whole life. feeling like whast behind me isnt there until i look. ive tried all of the benzos, ssris, beat blockers, tricyclic antidepressants.
@lelefairy123 Traumatic brain injury. i know this is a serious vid and i feel bad but.. your cute! oh and trying going off all drugs for 6 months, all those drugs can worsen depersonalization, cant stress that enough...
try the linden method..it takes some getting used to ..but people have greatly benifitted .....u added this video two years ago..how are u feeling now..
@digitalAV1111 For a period of 2 years after I filmed this vid I was able to ignore it and live my life, right now I relapsed about 6 months ago, and I've never felt worse. I hope I can get back to ignoring it, even though it never once left.
VISIONNER LA VIDEO Présentation des *SCIENCES DE L'ACTION EST UN ACTE CITOYEN TRES FORT ET CONSTRUCTIF !!...SEMER LES GRAINES D'ESPERANCE POUR TOUS LES JEUNES DE FRANCE EST FONDAMENTAL POUR LES PROGRES DE LA FRANCE.....CHAINE ZACHAYUS !
I've been dealing with DP since I was 10 or 11....Im 22 now. =\ I feel its never going to get any better, though I have heard of multiple people with this disorder get over it by themselves 100%. Sounds too farfetched for me. I think Im going to be like this the rest of my life. But the positive thing is, Im glad others understand what I am going through. :') Thanks for uploading this.
@SilentHillHeather I got rid of it after 7 years. I still got some episode but they much more endurable and decreased in intensity. Don't lose your faith. With strong determination and external support you will manage to overcome it. Good luck.
@GoldenAgeAscension Thank you. I ordered some books on the condition in hopes that it will help me. :) I've also joined a forum all about DP. I hope that one day I will meet up with someone who knows and will understand the condition. Right now, my external support doesnt know what to do because none of them have ever experienced it. Again, thanks for your heart-felt comment. It made my night :)

@lelefairy123 Is it possible it could get worse with time? I feel it stronger recently, but that might also be due to my hydrocephalus. :\ Its getting really overwhelming.
@SilentHillHeather i acctualy had a unwanted meditation "trip" that lasted for weeks whit hallucinations and strange feelings in my senses. and now a couple of weeks ago i had a major derealisation, when i was making dinner. all senses blended and i lost it, and was like, man i wonder wtf life is and all that stuff you know, because its so unreal. look at it like this, you have so much more to fight for then others now with your symptoms, and that makes you special..."Read part 2"
@SilentHillHeather Well i searched relentlessly for a non-farfetched explanation and cure and after 15 months found one. All i had to do was learn about the connection between the mind and body, face my problems and generally be more positive. Which happens after you face your problems. Anyway long story short check out Tension Myositis Syndrome also known as the mind body connection x
i made a facebook page for encouragement cus dude i know this is all torture. if anyone can check it out it would be much appreciated cus i wanna help those suffering.
Check your thyroid levels, I am hypothyroid and I get like this when my levels are really off. Its probably the worst feeling in the world, your like a robot and your just occupying your body and reacting and not really living. When my thyroid levels normalize I start to feel again like a person.
Well I dont know but I think your adrenal glands can also mimmick this. If your constantly stressing out and on the edge all the time your adrenal glands might be overworked and they might be throwing everything out of order. Good news about this is most of the time it disapears by itself so dont get discouraged. Just remember there are MANYY people with this and your not the only one. I know it sucks big time but the less u stress and less your anxious the better you will be.
For the morons that are cursing god, its quite the opposite. Prayer and accepting Christ in your life has totally healed me from this. Today I dont have panic attacks, anxiety, depression or depersonalization. I was on the verge of a suicide.
dont know if i am experiencing derealization or not. Everything just seems fake, it is like a never ending dream. It's like i'm doing something and then I'm like, "Oh shit, why did I do that " Im only 14 and I don't think I deserve to be like this. I have never done drugs, but I try sips of wine when my mom lets me. It has only been 2 days but it just feels like I can't take. I have OCD, ADHD, My family has severe panic disorders , and some of my family has depression issues.
I noticed that most of the people here on YouTube talking about dp are british or american british or laced with british blood. something I’ve noticed is that british people have a smaller capacity for emotions, particularly happiness and joy. historically in britain anyone with charisma and balls got their heads on pikes, so that was also a contributing factor in dp finding a niche your genepool. anyone with dp had a greater chance of survival since they had no identity, cause, or charisma.
yer just ridiculously cute so I’ll tell you what I told this one girl at an orgy. this is likely a natural mechanism primarily in young women to cause you to seek or gravitate toward a charismatic mate. it's a condition that found a niche in the gene pool simply because it resulted in a greater number of pregnancies. couple things u should consider here, orgasms have a massive effect on your brain chemistry. this is just a theoretical treatment but if you currently masturbate a lot, stop.

conversely if you don't orgasm regularly, once a day, masturbate once a day. also your condition causes you to gravitate to charismatic people, leaders. there is a direct connection between lying and leading. those who lie well are historically the most successful leaders. begin cultivating your ability to lie. lie about everything as often as possible. when caught in a lie tell people it's a theoretical treatment for your condition and show them a printed copy of this page. l8r gl.
I've been seeing a psychiatrist and counselor for a couple years now. My depression, anxiety, and the depersonalization is terrible. I'm pretty sure I have Bi-polar disorder and very bad anxiety. My mood is completely fucked up all the time and I don't even know who I am. The medications are not working for me. Work and college is such a hard task for me. just sick of being scared.
just my words you spoke out: Psychiatrists and psychologists did not help me either. they are all superficial behaviourists and systemic therapists, while deeper techniques like Jungian therapy or existential analysis are suppressed.
I also tried cognitive behavioral therapy while at the Maudsley but again this just did not work for me.i was 32 when i was diagnosed and that in itself made a difference to my life as i could put a name to these strange feelings.i hide the dp very well as i'm sure you do.Some of my old friends can tell when i dp but no one else really.Only when i'm really bad will i say to my sons dads funny head is playing up a bit and they both understand.Keep going it can go and you found out early enough.
I have had dp for as long as i can remember i am 49 years of age now.I suffer everyday can last hours or minutes.i get on with life as best as i can.i am also a single parent looking after my two sons 13 and 8 which can be very hard at times but i just carry on.i was first diagnosed at the National in London in the early 90's then took part in the trials at the Research unit at the South london and maudsley in the late 90's.Lamotrogine did not work for me.Keep strong hope this hell leaves you!!
I have suffered with DP a few times recently, i believed we were all living in a computer game and everything wasnt real, then I started having a panic attack...This has happened to me three times, its fucking scary, it feels like everything you know or believe is bullshit! Not had it happen for about 4 months so its all good now. Check out my channel if you get chance, thanks lots and great video!
I have it 24/7, and my meds aren't working the way they used too. Im always hollow and spaced out, and last weekend I almost killed myself over the induced fear of wanting to kill myself.
....My gawd your beautiful I dont care how crazy you are !! lol yes I also have severe depersonalization and high anxiety its a living hell, my heart goes out to you.
I've had this since I was 14 years old. I'm 40 now. No amount of therapy or medication has ever made any difference. I've grown so used to it that I can't even remember what it was like not to be in this state.
I can totally understand how you feel. I had DP from 1998-2001, and i know how horrible it felt. I was even thinking about suicide. This may sound like a cliche, but when i put my faith in Jesus, he helped me. I want to encourage you, that DP can go away again. I've never had another episode of DP since 2001. God bless you and don't give up.
Hi, I hope things are better for you now? I had DP 24/7 for 4 years, from the age of 18. It came on suddenly when I woke up one morning, and looking back I don't know how I managed to cope because I didn't tell anyone about it. I gradually came out of it, Im not sure exactly how, I did start worrying less and being less stressy, so that could have helped me to recover. I am now 32, it comes back occasionaly when I am tired. Good luck to everyone with it, there is hope!
hi! I also suffer from this constantly.It's been almost two years now I think...feels alot longer though.It's like you forget what reality felt like.Trapt in an alien body convinced nothing matters.I Have no idea what still keeps me here..I guess something is still alive inside.And I hope you guys feel the same..like all hope isnt gone.Even if it's just a tiny feeling of hapiness or of being real a day,hold on.
Hi! I also suffer from this constantly.It's been over a year now I think ..but it's like you get used to it at some point,and have no energy left to "fix" it ...it's like you forget how reality felt like.Trapt in an alien body feeling like nothing matters.
shit, I was just surfing youtube, and what you described is exactly how I feel sometimes...Damn. However, I go in and out of it. I hope you start to feel better soon.
I've had this but I had a lot more age behind me...It's scary, but it could bring up questions about what is reality, deep stuff like this that could help you live a more full life in your future..In high school we called it outer body experience, but I had never had this before until recently. I was stressed and smoking weed and then things got very peaceful, I was numb...That was really strong weed but it was also psychological stress of not feeling good enough for a long time. Relax...
I have had dp for six years.....24/7. I also had it 2 other times in my life but didn't know what it was then. when I first got it I had no idea what it was and why I felt like I did .I was terrified!!I have been on my road to recovery for quite sometime now and I can say I am almost there.my dp stems from emotional traumas and pain.my way out has been to slowly find the pains I ran from.Gently go through feel and release with love and compassion for myself. your not alone!!!
Hi there I had DP/DR for about 3 month now from xanax withdrawal and I know how it feels this will be silly but it works with relieves me more when I have it eat something cold like ice cream or put a cube of ice in your mouth it jolts the nerve and it calm you down if it worked for me it could work for you
depersonalization is rare thing , but it can be a symptoms for a temporal lobe epilepsy , i had DPD for 14 yrs and for 24/7 , and its creepy as hell . its feel like you are a spirit looking at the people around you with no feeling of time flowing .
the way you explained dp is the closest to what i'm feeling. i'm really glad i decided to look this up on youtube. it does really make you feel kind of alone.
DP and Anxiety suck and I've been dealing with both for 6 months. One thing I have learned is its all about what state of mind your in. When I'm in a calm state of mind and control my thoughts the anxiety and DP aren't bad and I can enjoy life. When I'm in my "negative" state of mind then its horrible. We all have that negative state of mind where your just thinking bad thoughts like "What if this never goes away" or "What if I die or collapse" etc. Its all about controlling YOUR mind.
i actually love having this derelaization... you know why?? let me explain. i'm high everyday, i feel strong, i could handle pain more... and best of all, i just turn into a badass and start beating people up randomly. i love this!!
The only thing that has helped me is "emotional release", meaning getting your thoughts and feelings out. Talk to someone, cry and be angry and feel what you are feeling. I think DP and anxiety very often is a result of bottling up emotions from way back. Try to focus on other things that make your day better, and don't think of DP as a disorder. Fill up on positive stuff, be patient with your symptoms and have a steady sleep pattern. And MAGNESIUM! :)
one lamatrogine i take it is antiepelptic and a mood stabeliser that works best with people that has mainly lows it has low amout of side efects but can have one sever side efect a rash that can be very harmfull make shure your doc explains what to look out for
just my experiace with the meds you mentiond iv bipolar and prity sever socail phobia ie i panic and start to feal like im on lsd or somthing like parniod but at the same time logical anyway benzos think of these as wisky a few will calm you down but taking them all the time will make you alcholic. sri iv bean on most of them most with just som nusia when i went on them first. all fine but seroxat i had a very bad reaction to uncotrolable shivering ect so dont rule out them all if you alergic to
there's a cure for this condition and i have the book, if anyone wants me to send it them then give me your e mail address. i,ve suffered for 7 years with this and i got this book which explains whats happened to our brains and how to re educate your brain by doing simple mind exercises
I too have DR/DP. I've had it for two years so far..Good news is that it does get better. Looking back OMG I've gotten so much better. It's 24/7 for me but not like it was. It used to be a 24/7 panic attack. The best way to deal with it is actually dealing with your fears. That's the only advice I could really give. Face your fears in every situation. Force yourself to walk and uncomfortable road.
Yea it's true,I imagine myself just vanishing out of this world,just gone for ever,I think there is no cure,it's probably from lack of ballance between right and left brain that's why I can change mood or personality so fast from a extreme to another.
I am full of a number of anxiety issues,panic,depression,PTSD and agoraphobic.I take many medications but I still isolate and avoid alone at home.I tire easily and have little motivation,my own prison really at the same time safe right here.I have had attacks that have made me fall to the floor in to unconsciousness ,very horrifying.
Dear people who read this. I know what you feel. I can help. I'm here to help cuz i went thru this and i've transformed myself thanks to this, and i'm here to show you that it is ultimately here in your experience as a profound lesson to benefit from in any possible way -to change, to grow, to strengthen, to discover more of who you are, to reconnect to your true selves/God/universe/source, to expand your awareness and to transform your lives into heaven on earth,to feel the magic & joy of life.
i know how you feel i have had this for about 8 years now living with this disease every waking moment but now i can put a name to it and it makes me feel better ,but its disappointing how so many people are unaware of this and the lack of treatment available. its so hard to put words together to show someone what it really feels like and its a little better to know your're not alone..keep hope and stay strong ! <3 USA
i understand you, and i wish you all the best, im suffering with this all the time, including right now. im scared, i cant think about the things i want to think about and im constantly scared im dying.

.... for and when you pick it up the fear goes up which then feeds back and the derealization goes up and then the fear goes up until you get worn out and then it will start all over again. The trick is to expose yourself to the sensation or understand that it is not dangerous until you don't fear it anymore. This will break the cycle but it takes a long time of practice. Mastery of your anxiety and panic by Barlow and Craske explains the cycle in figure 4.1
The closest answer I have is that the depersonalisation is caused by the physiological effects of the blood rushing to different areas in your body during a panic attack. A panic attack is a terriying experience so you learn to moniter for any signs that the panic may be coming and you become fearful of the physiological reaction (depersonalization/blood rushing/energy drain etc) itself. Once you become fearful of the feeling you start a cycle where the feeling is monitered
Hi. I'm a 40 year old who has suffered with agoraphobia and alcoholism most of my life. I find that when I've been on a drinking binge, the acohol withdrawal causes severe DP. If I manage to stay away from alcohol for a matter of a few months, the DP steadily goes away.
I've suffered from this terrible disease on and off since I was about 16 yrs old. I didnt know how to describe it before but now that I see others going through it I understand. All you have to do is remind yourself that obviously you are "real" you couldnt feel this if you werent. It's all about anxious thinking. If you can remember when you first started feeling this, think about how it was brought on. all by just ONE anxious thought, and bc it scared you and made you feel uncomfortable, it ha
Im seeing my psychologist but it aint helping me i think.
im getting to a different one soon. Im trying to do things i like moost of the times but it just makes me fload more away on that moment, but it keeps me from being depressed a lot at that moment. maybe this works the same way for you as it does a bit for me.
Ive recovered 100% from dp. You have to realise that the condition is just the reaction of a tired mind. It just needs to heal. The only way to get it to heal is to stop thinking about the dp. Accept that you have the condition. Dont try block the bad thoughts out, but dont give into them either. Just accept them. This is the first step. Next, do things to take your mind off of the dp. I work in a kitchen most the week and i barely thought about the dp much when i was working.
depersonalization is when the mind has control over the heart. you have to run until you think you will puke. and then run some more. that should do the trick.
I first experienced this a few years ago, when I was about 13. It really did scare the hell out of me, and changed my whole view on life. It comes and goes, but I constantly feel kinda unreal, and everything is dreamy. I went through various stages of thinking I had different types of problems; a brain tumour, schizophrenia etc. I even thought I was in some kind of coma at one point, everything seemed so fake. I'd be riding my BMX one day, and suddenly I couldn't feel my body. All the best:)
listen people, everybody: i know the experience myself and i'm actually very excited to tell you how you can help yourselves to grow positively from it, restore your 'normal' state of consciousness and even experience much more joy and ecstasy in your life that you never dreamed possible. i dont want to sound exaggerating, but i do mean what i say sincerely. i dont wanna give just some few tips here, it wont say anything by that. just send me a personal message and i'll show you the light. peace
hey luv, isnt it so good to know so many people have it and were not the only ones? thats just pretty much a releif for me, but writig poetry and how u feel at the moment helps me cope with it a bit, but thats a bit temporary, drawing...keeps your mind off it a bit. talking to someone that has it. i will make a seperate video so u can watch on little things that help. hope u feeel better, you shouldnt be going through this, nobody should have to feel this way ;*(
I've had DP for over a year now and i think I'm at my limit. You are very brave and strong for enduring all this time. Now just two questions that I need you to answer in order to know how similar are we. The DP goes through the same way when you are dreaming than when you are awake? Did you used to have DP episodes before you were 13?
Hi, I had this shit last year for about 3 months during my anxious/depression problems. I took Paxil and everything came to norlmal after few weeks. Im not taking for almost year everything is OK I didnt shoot anyone or kill myself :) no withdrawals
i have suffered from dp /dr since i was 8 years old im now 32 !!! .. :(
MINE IS NOT DRUG RELATED EITHER .. its so frustrating to be be " told " it may be drug related ..
ive been struggling to understand what is wrong with me and only found out a few years ago .. can u imagine what it must of been like for me as a child ?? my dp/dr is with me alot this week so your not alone hun ! .x :(
I have DR and occasional DP. Many things have helped me deal with my DR, and I feel like I'm almost rid of it. First of all, I accept the condition, and I don't fight against it, that only makes it worse. Second, I've changed my diet, removed all gluten, lactose and most simple carbs (I eat mostly meats, veggies, seeds etc.), as my DP might be partially induced by gluten intolerance (celiac). Third, supplements, I take omega-3, vitamin B12 and vitamin D3 which really help. I don't take any meds.
Are you sure you're suffering from depersonalization? You don't seem to have some of the 'signs'. Maybe you suffer from another mental disease? Don't give up looking for it. Good luck with it!!
linden method is the one for you . follow it correctly it will cure you . don't play with your future .l you know anxiety cant harm you .. that's if you haven't overcome it yet .. but if you haven't ,.. please help your self .. to be free like me
Hey everyone. Like most of you, I suffer from Derealization. And I wanted to express how I feel, so I wrote a song based on DP and Derealization. Its called "Black & White", go to my page and check it out. It made me feel better being able to talk about it, so I hope it helps some of you as well.
Unfortunately, I do not know of any techniques that would work. . . I've tried a few myself. I've had DPD 24/7 since the age of 12 and I'm 16 now. It's serious shit. Hope you find a technique that works for you. I've heard abilify helps, though I myself have yet to try it. Good luck

Sorry to hear you have DP to such an extreme. I tend to get it mildy and even in my case it can be unsettling. In my case the main cause is underlying anxiety. However, I tend to find that regular exercise really helps to reduce this better than antidepressants. Maybe you should give this a try if you've haven't already.
Wow, your experience with DP sounds just like mine-- anxiety related, lots of panic attacks, no help. I'm 21, and I've been living with it for about 6 years now. I've tried the seizure meds and they didn't help my DP, but they seem to help a lot of people with anxiety issues. Thanks for posting this. I hate to hear that other people are suffering with this, but it's also comforting to know that I'm not alone.
You are very beautiful! Keep trying, something has to help eventually! :)
just want to say thanks for posting this video, i know how your feeling as i suffer with dp constantly, im 21 and iv had it for about 4 months now, been to the doctor and hes referred me to see a therapist next month and i have also just started counselling sessions. I wish the you the best of luck. Im sorry that I cannot be of much help to you as I am very new to this disorder and Im trying to find ways of overcoming it myself.
do you find that alot of the energy is all built in the head? laaike a build up of tensionV_V
the only bad thing about healing from it, that suddenly seeing everything become clearer and clearer WHICH takes such a long timeeV_V but then everythings right in your facee! and you cant escape.. and not having any idea what you have been doing, are you quite deep into it?O_O laaike when your laying on your bed and you close your eyes, do you feel laaike your falling inside yourself? x
My heart goes out to you, you say you have this 24/7? I have it often but not constantly and I can only imagine how horrible that would be. Nothing has helped me get rid of the feeling it comes and it goes whenever it wants to, I wish I could say I knew something to help, Anxiety is also the cause of it for me, I've only recently started therapy for anxiety and so maybe that will help the DP I wish you all the best and my thoughts are totally with you <3 xxxx
lelefairy, first of all, i can empathise completely with this, i was diagnosed with anxiety when i was 13, its been almost 10 years, but ive only started to experience feelings of (severe) depersonalization in the last 6 months or so, like you, i wouldnt wish it upon any1, bt it is a relief to know that there are others who can relate to my feelings. second, since the vid was posted, how have things progressed for you? if at all?
u guys need to get lots of sleep, smoke lots of herb,try LSD, mushrooms and some DMT, is time for you to wake up. Its always been you, nothing has change. its all in ur mind. jst close ur eyes and go back to the time when your were a child. and realize that your giving your life away to your mind.
@frankche1 good advice for the strong minds.... but horrible horrible advice for those who have a weak mind...... but to be honest... I've done all these shenanigans.... and in the end.... the best way to get back to your self is to quit and start exercising....
you see.... you are like Alice... and wonderland is the fucked up shit you are dealing with... the longer you stay there ... the more lost you will get.. and drugs put the extra weight on your back until you completely lose it
@frankche1 Something tells me you don't have or never have had DP or DR. Drugs are the cause of it for many people. Don't give false information to people if you don't have experience to back it up.
You tell him. That idiot is just judging everybody. DR is extremely unsettling. These videos on youtube have helped me out a lot already. I've had about a weeklong attack of DR and it sucks. It's kept me from working out, eating, etc. I went clubbing and got extremely drunk and that was the only time it did not bug me. Good luck to you and keep your head up. Inspiring vid. Hopefully it helps a lot more people

@werdnanotroh I wasn't, as I mentiones months ago, I accidentally commented towards lelefairy123, but I meant to reply to frankche1, read his comments and you'll know what I meant
exercising, and getting plenty of water as well as breathing correctly will make that feeling go away x first two increase the blood volume, 2nd cures hyperventilation x
The other thing I dont exactly understand is some people have this chronic like my self, it happened one time during a panic attack and never left. Some people say it is a deffense mechinism that your brain is blocking out somthing to tramatic, other people believe it is an overload of stress hormones like cortisol that have had a negative affect on the parts of the brain that deal with perception, neurons in the brain are suppose take twice as long to heal than cells in the body.
ok, so that i think i have derealization from my vision. i feel like that everything happening to me is not existing and that everything i see is not exisitng, it feels like the world is disappearing. i see perfectly fine.
I suffered this dp & dr for years. It seems to be an archiac tool/part of the brain that detaches us (consciously)/cuts us off from reality when we believe we are experiencing something unacceptable (trauma, anxieties, being caught & eaten). We know it as.., "doubt" (but on an extremely fundamental level). Feeling liberated from the "bad situation" (which could now simply be DP/DR), should result in allowing your reception/realization to return. Hope this make sense? Good luck!
bridgewells43, That sounds good, any more helpful tips,please mention, when your dp left how did you know it went, was it gradual or did it just happen?
I have It too.

Changing your thoughts is a good start. Now and then I can feel myself going back to normal then I suddenly panic and I'm stuck again. Your body is protecting you, that's why it keeps you in the darkness. I'm a very deep person so it's hard for me not to think deeply, and I know if I keep thinking deeply it will remain with me. I seem to flash from DP to DR every other week, seems like there's no escape but there is.

You CAN get over it. It's a shift in consciousness, the more you remain uncalm the longer you stay in the dream-like state of consciousness until you are released back into reality.

I've had dp/dr for about eight years now. It's horrible,- it really is; I can't imagine many people being able to handle the symptoms very well without losing their mind somewhat. I've browsed through the various dp/dr online forums available, but they've been useless so far, as there were too many idiots and potheads posting on there. I've spoken to a few doctors about the subject, and they all said pretty much the same thing, that this is something that must be "cured" with a Psychiatrist.

For a long time growing up from about 13 to about 17 I thought I was simply going crazy. I felt like I was in a fog or a dream. All that. But all psychiatrists/therapists will agree that people don't "go crazy" and people that actually are crazy don't realize they are. Like schizophrenics and those with real mental disorders. Over the years I have realized that keeping busy, both physically and/or mentally is very helpful. Benzos are bad news and dangerous. Neurontin (gabapentin) has helped alot

I think the key is to remember all the moments / periods of time when you have been fine.
If you keep those moments in the forefront of your mind it makes each day easier as you know you have the ability to be fine. You just need to tap into that positive mindstate.
Exercise helps ridiculously well, especially jogging in public.

For all you with those "symptoms", realise you have so much more in life to "fight" for now then others, and that makes you special and there is nothing wrong with you. Your life is now 100% more intressting then the rest 95% of the people. A tips for you...eat alot of vitamins and minerals all day, eat fishoil and drink green/black tea. those things makes your brain work better and you may feel alot better then before. At the same time, work with your mind "get back" to your body.

I noticed that most of the people here on YouTube talking about dp are british or american british or laced with british blood. something I’ve noticed is that british people have a smaller capacity for emotions, particularly happiness and joy. historically in britain anyone with charisma and balls got their heads on pikes, so that was also a contributing factor in dp finding a niche your genepool. anyone with dp had a greater chance of survival since they had no identity, cause, or charisma.

yer just ridiculously cute so I’ll tell you what I told this one girl at an orgy. this is likely a natural mechanism primarily in young women to cause you to seek or gravitate toward a charismatic mate. it's a condition that found a niche in the gene pool simply because it resulted in a greater number of pregnancies. couple things u should consider here, orgasms have a massive effect on your brain chemistry. this is just a theoretical treatment but if you currently masturbate a lot, stop.

conversely if you don't orgasm regularly, once a day, masturbate once a day. also your condition causes you to gravitate to charismatic people, leaders. there is a direct connection between lying and leading. those who lie well are historically the most successful leaders. begin cultivating your ability to lie. lie about everything as often as possible. when caught in a lie tell people it's a theoretical treatment for your condition and show them a printed copy of this page. l8r gl.

It came on suddenly when I woke up one morning, and looking back I don't know how I managed to cope because I didn't tell anyone about it. I gradually came out of it, Im not sure exactly how, I did start worrying less and being less stressy, so that could have helped me to recover. I am now 32, it comes back occasionaly when I am tired.

DP and Anxiety suck and I've been dealing with both for 6 months. One thing I have learned is its all about what state of mind your in. When I'm in a calm state of mind and control my thoughts the anxiety and DP aren't bad and I can enjoy life. When I'm in my "negative" state of mind then its horrible. We all have that negative state of mind where your just thinking bad thoughts like "What if this never goes away" or "What if I die or collapse" etc. Its all about controlling YOUR mind.

fcarrillo619 1 year ago
The only thing that has helped me is "emotional release", meaning getting your thoughts and feelings out. Talk to someone, cry and be angry and feel what you are feeling. I think DP and anxiety very often is a result of bottling up emotions from way back. Try to focus on other things that make your day better, and don't think of DP as a disorder.

I too have DR/DP. I've had it for two years so far..Good news is that it does get better. Looking back OMG I've gotten so much better. It's 24/7 for me but not like it was. It used to be a 24/7 panic attack. The best way to deal with it is actually dealing with your fears. That's the only advice I could really give. Face your fears in every situation. Force yourself to walk and uncomfortable road.

Yea it's true,I imagine myself just vanishing out of this world,just gone for ever,I think there is no cure,it's probably from lack of ballance between right and left brain that's why I can change mood or personality so fast from a extreme to another.

.... for and when you pick it up the fear goes up which then feeds back and the derealization goes up and then the fear goes up until you get worn out and then it will start all over again. The trick is to expose yourself to the sensation or understand that it is not dangerous until you don't fear it anymore. This will break the cycle but it takes a long time of practice. Mastery of your anxiety and panic by Barlow and Craske explains the cycle in figure 4.1

The closest answer I have is that the depersonalisation is caused by the physiological effects of the blood rushing to different areas in your body during a panic attack. A panic attack is a terriying experience so you learn to moniter for any signs that the panic may be coming and you become fearful of the physiological reaction (depersonalization/blood rushing/energy drain etc) itself. Once you become fearful of the feeling you start a cycle where the feeling is monitered

does alcohol make your DP worse, or act up????
ShaneThompson94 1 year ago
Hi. I'm a 40 year old who has suffered with agoraphobia and alcoholism most of my life. I find that when I've been on a drinking binge, the acohol withdrawal causes severe DP. If I manage to stay away from alcohol for a matter of a few months, the DP steadily goes away.
MegaLangosta 1 year ago
I've suffered from this terrible disease on and off since I was about 16 yrs old. I didnt know how to describe it before but now that I see others going through it I understand. All you have to do is remind yourself that obviously you are "real" you couldnt feel this if you werent. It's all about anxious thinking. If you can remember when you first started feeling this, think about how it was brought on. all by just ONE anxious thought, and bc it scared you and made you feel uncomfortable, it ha

Ive recovered 100% from dp. You have to realise that the condition is just the reaction of a tired mind. It just needs to heal. The only way to get it to heal is to stop thinking about the dp. Accept that you have the condition. Dont try block the bad thoughts out, but dont give into them either. Just accept them. This is the first step. Next, do things to take your mind off of the dp. I work in a kitchen most the week and i barely thought about the dp much when i was working.

depersonalization is when the mind has control over the heart. you have to run until you think you will puke. and then run some more. that should do the trick.

I first experienced this a few years ago, when I was about 13. It really did scare the hell out of me, and changed my whole view on life. It comes and goes, but I constantly feel kinda unreal, and everything is dreamy. I went through various stages of thinking I had different types of problems; a brain tumour, schizophrenia etc. I even thought I was in some kind of coma at one point, everything seemed so fake. I'd be riding my BMX one day, and suddenly I couldn't feel my body. All the best:)

I've had DP for over a year now and i think I'm at my limit. You are very brave and strong for enduring all this time. Now just two questions that I need you to answer in order to know how similar are we. The DP goes through the same way when you are dreaming than when you are awake? Did you used to have DP episodes before you were 13?

I have DR and occasional DP. Many things have helped me deal with my DR, and I feel like I'm almost rid of it. First of all, I accept the condition, and I don't fight against it, that only makes it worse. Second, I've changed my diet, removed all gluten, lactose and most simple carbs (I eat mostly meats, veggies, seeds etc.), as my DP might be partially induced by gluten intolerance (celiac). Third, supplements, I take omega-3, vitamin B12 and vitamin D3 which really help. I don't take any meds.

Sorry to hear you have DP to such an extreme. I tend to get it mildy and even in my case it can be unsettling. In my case the main cause is underlying anxiety. However, I tend to find that regular exercise really helps to reduce this better than antidepressants. Maybe you should give this a try if you've haven't already.

Wow, your experience with DP sounds just like mine-- anxiety related, lots of panic attacks, no help. I'm 21, and I've been living with it for about 6 years now. I've tried the seizure meds and they didn't help my DP, but they seem to help a lot of people with anxiety issues. Thanks for posting this. I hate to hear that other people are suffering with this, but it's also comforting to know that I'm not alone.

The other thing I dont exactly understand is some people have this chronic like my self, it happened one time during a panic attack and never left. Some people say it is a deffense mechinism that your brain is blocking out somthing to tramatic, other people believe it is an overload of stress hormones like cortisol that have had a negative affect on the parts of the brain that deal with perception, neurons in the brain are suppose take twice as long to heal than cells in the body.

I suffered this dp & dr for years. It seems to be an archiac tool/part of the brain that detaches us (consciously)/cuts us off from reality when we believe we are experiencing something unacceptable (trauma, anxieties, being caught & eaten). We know it as.., "doubt" (but on an extremely fundamental level). Feeling liberated from the "bad situation" (which could now simply be DP/DR), should result in allowing your reception/realization to return. Hope this make sense? Good luck!
