Depersonalization or Derealisation - Reality feels like dreaming or in a movie

[OkeidoSun]

Depersonalization is a nightmare.

[Etuin]

Got it now, been having it for over 2 months now. Probably caused by all the weed I smoked or that time I did shrooms, started right after that. Any Youtube "home-cures" I can do to get out of it? ;) The only thing that seems to be helping is drinking, think any psychologist will know how to treat this?

[easrth]

@Etuin I know that feel. :(

[yucatantonio]

thank you bud, i think this helps a lot to those who are going thru it and brings awareness

[TheSnowskate94]

hey i used to get very bad migraines but i dont anymore. The main reason that helped is i started to drink 10 or more glasses of water a day.

[NineInchNails25]

it feels like awaking from anesthesia. Dearealization is a black hole disorder that takes the life out of you. No emotions can be felt because your observing yourself from outside yourself. You question what life is, what it is to think, why words have no meaning. No emotion to fuel the meaning of words. You feel numb to life. You don't know where you are, what's going on, you dont recognize loved ones. You dont recognize your own face in the mirror. It is hell on earth. Reality is gone.

[frostykid2008]

what was your medicine called exactly ?

[rawrbore]

Big respect for doing this vid bro. helped me alot

[Strawberrydoodle]

I had an episode of depersonalization triggered by K2, synthetic marijuana. DO NOT smoke this stuff! It's bad for you, it will screw up your brain, your body, it's not meant to be consumed. I've been suffering from random depersonalization ever since then, coupled with extremely high anxiety, shame, and guilt. The attacks get more frequent and more intense every time they happen. I have nothing against drugs, but when you aren't careful with them, it's playing russian roulette with your sanity.

[AnthonyGodDamnRuiz]

@nonassumsit You have no idea what you're talking about. It has nothing to do with wanting to be on drugs. It's actually the complete opposite. It's a horrible feeling a lot of unfortunate people have to live with for years. I almost wanna wish that you get this disorder just do you can experience how horrible it is but I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

[middy444]

Hey, I've been suffering from this for a while, like two years. Watch my video about it, it's on my page :)

[depechefast1]

Hey man, I've been going through this for awhile now and would love to chat, Hit me up with your msn or facebook. Talk to you soon.

[DHarmoniKase]

Wow, I really feel for you.

[RimaTouya180]

How do you get this in the first place??

Dose this come from depression?

[LIGHTRONIX]

I've had it for a week now, but it's really subtle. Things lack depth in ways they didn't used to. Everything is kind of flat and disconnected. I can forget about it, but I always check in to see if it's still there.

[susansings1]

Hey I've been there and back..So, if you or anyone else needs to talk..hit me up!

[markmasala]

hy i have this thing it began about 2 months ago or something i also quit my antidepressants with my doctors approval and its realy horrible i just wanna be myself again im realy worried all the time

[crashtestdummii]

ooooohhhmygosh haha your accent is so fucking sexy.

[MollieJaneBacon]

I've always tried to please others or improve myself, so maybe that has something to do with it :( All I know is I hate it so much and I hate that no one believes me and no one can save me. My mum doesn't believe me snd I really want her to know what I'm feeling :( doctors and counsellors don't believe me they think it's just anxiety, wtf why does nobody know about this cruel disorder. feels like I'm being punished

[hamoan66boi]

@MollieJaneBacon Dont worry, Lol. Ive accepted the fact that I have this disorder. It kinda gets me pumped up to know whats going to happen after I die you know? lol, sorry for all that but just dont worry, your not the only one. :D

[MollieJaneBacon]

Hi thanks for your video :) I have felt depersonalized for 3 months now. At first I just felt a bit detached but then gradually I just started to feel horribly depersonalized, like I'm in a dream but I'm actually awake. I keep telling myself the same thing, that I will help ANYONE if I ever recover becasue it's pure hell. I'm really scared that I won't recover though because I don't know what caused mine, I don't know whether it was stress or anxiety, I never felt really depressed but ...

[yeahhyeeahyeah]

Wow! I am sooooooo happy that I caught on to these videos...I suffered for three years.. Cured myself. :) Thank you so for this video!

[xxsurferxx]

Hey dude I have the same thing but it doesn't happens every time just one time that was like fucked up and I didn't had no migraine it just happens !! And I fucking worried for everything all the time and sometimes I think I was like crazy

[poopydoggy]

Hey, man, what were the tablets the doctor gave you? my friend has 24/7 DP, and has had it for about 8 years.  No doctor has given him any medicine yet. Do you remember what it was?

[x3Hailie]

thanks for sharing this :) i got it drug induced. i've been smoking weed a lot but this particular day, after taking speed, i took only 3 smokes and when i lifted my head i got into this delirium, as we were out, everything seemed so unreal, trees and the grass were so green almost cartoonish and the whole landscape looked so trippy. that was like 3 weeks ago. im going to the psychiatrist in a few days.. but 11 more months of this, gosh..

[Aaronthegreatest]

it was rly nice watchin this video lol it made me feel better about things. I have DPD too only I've had it like wayyy longer, but it was sort of idk refreshing to see someone whose recovered from it and someone who's so thankful for being back to normal again :) I'm rly glad stuff worked out for you and I hope it stays good. I might msg you sometime or something idk but I am getting help now and I hope to recover and be normal again soon too. Anyways thx again man for putting the vid up

[OliverIsALegend]

Yes chris ;) you lovely kid

[XxGABiRawRxX]

Please i need help! i just need the frikkin cure : / i've had DP for 7 years now!! and it just came after i had fainted after getting a shot. Pleasee anyone..someone message me please? 

[eddyfazzini]

how did you come depersonalization??

and how you did it to heal??

[ThoughtsFromTheMyst]

Everyone you will all get better only if you believe.

[Liquidsnake254]

I feel like nothing is real to me after I smoked k2 and had a bad trip on it I was really scared after that everyday I try to go on but I can't help it its like there is something in the.back of my head telling me nothing is real and Everytime I realize its all real I get a bad headache.and then the feeling comes back again and idk what to do if u do plz inbox me and tell me.

[DarkYoda0025]

There's no cure no treatment and no therapy. I feel srry for u

[ThoughtsFromTheMyst]

@DarkYoda0025 dont be negative be positive positivity is the key.

[whiteyr44]

Marajiuana made me feel like this especially when I quit, like I wasnt myself and nothing felt real... I was heavily into it though.. going through a large amount daily and even needing a few joints to sleep at night.

After I got tinnitus and VS I quit and the derealization begun.. going outside made me feel like I was in a box and analyzing my very thought process.. this took about 6 months to go.

I have HPPD though now permanently and tinnitus thanks to a gig but I feel normal again!

[whiteyr44]

@whiteyr44 I do still see purple rings going from smaller to big and repeating especially if I'm outiside and I go back in.. this is an occular migraine and is permanent...

Today I feel great.... minus the HPPD/VS and tinnitus which pisses me off.

But the whole DP is gone completly! As I said this lasted 6-8 months after I quit weed permanently.. it stems from drug use.

[whiteyr44]

@whiteyr44 In my case that is, I'm sure trauma such as me getting tinnitus from the gig had a huge part in triggering it... which then went into depression and DP followed.

[briitaii]

I'm quite certain I have this and I told my mum about it a few weeks ago.. I felt like such a dick trying to explain it because ,as you said, someone who hasnt gone through this will not understand what youre talking about at all. My mum was like..wtf ahaha. I think I might talk to her again about it and get her to take me to my doctor/physcologist because it's been getting extremely bad lately. I just feel asif I cant enjoy my life and it's just overall such a scary feeling. Wish me luck :l

[TheGenerationOfSport]

you know what im actually going to kill my self. this is beyond horrible and im not going to deal with it.

[PcRoX123hackedACC]

@TheGenerationOfSport you are weak. i have had DP and Insomnia and it has been much much worse then anyone could ever imagine, and i went through it. and i was 13. you should atleast try to live with it.

[dxf323]

I can really relate to you mate, I felt exactly the same like I was tripping it is a really traumatic experience when mine was really bad it looked like objects were breathing and moving dont worry there are plenty of people who also have it your not alone.

[damonthemoney93]

hey Chris, I think I may have something along the lines of depersonalisation. I feel as though I can't really utilize the power of my mind to think about the things I want to, I don't know how to explain it, as though all of my thoughts are fuzzy abstract ideas that I can't fully delve into to explain. Also I'm a stoner so I think I should stop smoking. I thought a good analogy would be thinking about "the game"? I know i haven't explained this well, but if you think you can help, please try! :(

[dre5866]

does ur eyes ever hurt?

[TheGenerationOfSport]

I'm going to get therapy, i finally got my mom to believe me

does it really go away, or do u just get used to it?

[phillipmcfarland]

Sleep is definitely one of the highlights of life when you have DP/DR. For me, when I'm dreaming, that feels real to me. It feels like thats real life, but when I wake up into reality, that feels like the dream. it's so fucked.. And btw, is that a My Chemical Romance poster on your wall? :D

[RahReplicaGrrrl]

this video is a bit old but, I hope all is well. I have had dp for about a year now, and its slowly clearing up, little by little. mine was drug induced though. btw. you're very charming:)

[ClipClapClass]

[Aderek15]

[arcadia82]

Hi,

I suffer of depersonalization since I was 13th and now I am 28th.

For everyone who never had this feeling you can imagine that feeling depersonalized is like to continue have that feeling of emptiness that spreads throughout the body when you are on a roller coaster.

Think that 15years ago internet and most of the doctors was not aware about Depersonalization, so you can imagine how was horrible to suffer of this disease 15years ago...

Don't hesitate to contact me :)

[TheJusttryingtohelp1]

@arcadia82 I only went about 3 months without knowing what it was and my mum or dad wouldn't believe me when I told them I felt. Just remember though, there is nothing wrong with you :) In time that feeling will leave. It has to. And when it does then you will respect live so much more, trust me :)

[GoldenAgeAscension]

@arcadia82 hey Do you feel any better? i suffered this for some 7 years with progressive recovering starting from the third year and decreasing in intensity. Good luck.

[arcadia82]

@GoldenAgeAscension Sure now I'm feeling better and depersonalization has decreased. However during stress condition it increase, that's the way in which my body react to stress and anxiety ;)

[tigersnw86]

Feels like I'm in hell when I'm going through this. My mom thought I was on LSD and I don't do drugs. Sleep makes me feel normal too but I can't sleep when I go into an "episode" because I just get so f'ed up. I could never live like this if this is what to expect from life long term. I looked up Zomig it said it was for migraines... but you say its helping you get rid of the derealization?

[TheJusttryingtohelp1]

@tigersnw86 My doctors gave me it because he said that I got DP/DR from my migrains. I think it helped a bit but what mainly did it was just ignoring that I had it and completely forgetting it was there. In time it fades away, I promise. My mum thought I was lying and refused to take me to doctors because she thought it was embarrising if I told him i thought i was dreaming, so it could be worse man.

[chronicgrass]

you so look like shane from weeds tv episode

[TheJusttryingtohelp1]

@chronicgrass Safe :)

[vality1]

ive notice that my dream seems more real than reality.

[koryrmiles]

did you try vitamins or the linden method ???????

[TheJusttryingtohelp1]

@koryrmiles Neither of them, Whats the linden method? I just forgot it was there and kept taking the tablets and it just soon left. I remember waking up one day and looking at my wall (which I would do every morning to see if I was back to normal) and one day when I woke up all the signs on DR/DP were gone and I was back to normal again. Since then I've never taken a day for grartage.

[koryrmiles]

@TheJusttryingtohelp1 the linden method is used for treating anxiety, its basically a distraction method from what i know of! i got over my dr/dp by managing stress,excersize, eating healthy and getting on with life, talking with friends about old funny memories is a great way to cheer up and shift your mind for anyone going through a hard time! -thanks for this video!

[BrittB007]

*** Depersonalization, or Awakening? Don't be so quick to diagnose yourself. You'd be surprised at how many thought they had an illness when really they were opening up to a broader understanding of what we really are.

[tantrangle]

@BrittB007 I agree, have you seen that movie "Waking life"? I look at it like that- perhaps it's a "collective conscious" that some people have the ability to feel and others have the ability to get lost in. In our culture such an experience is something we're taught to fear because we praise the individual more. It's so scary because deep inside you know you're getting closer to finding out what you are, and what you're a part of.

@BrittB007 an what are we.the endless light?

[dreamaz1]

[TheJusttryingtohelp1]

@itsdelaney16 That's what I'm going through right now, does anyone know why I get massive mood swings from it all?

[burgerplayingguitar]

Hey you

Sorry my english is not very good. What was the trigger of your dp? Did you have migrain attacks or why did your doctor gave you zomig?

[TheJusttryingtohelp1]

@burgerplayingguitar I had migrain attacks which triggered it apparently. I would have regual migrains when i had dp

[TempoHairy]

i have exactly the same thing

[hippieho1]

ive had dp since i was 14 im 17 now turning 18 next month this shit aint going away thanks for the vid tho.

[TheJusttryingtohelp1]

@hippieho1 It cant last forever man.. I know this is the hardest thing to do atm, but stay positive and dont give up 

[HmmYepHaha]

Is zomig a prescription? I ran out of insurance. I don't remember what reality is supposed to be like.

[TheJusttryingtohelp1]

@HmmYepHaha Go to the doctors and ask for it. It helped a lot. Also fever few is good btw :)

[magrathean0]

Do you feel that the zomig helped with the depersonalisation or was that more for your migrains? Thanks

[TheJusttryingtohelp1]

@magrathean0 Zomig was for the depersonalisation, but tablets called fever few is for the migrains.. Good luck man !

[unigirlb]

Great thanks. We need people like you :)

[TomCruiseInVanilaSky]

i feel u bro.... im going through it right now,  check out my video

[unblindswordzman]

I appreciate ur video...when you recovered was it like instantly or like a gradual kinda way.

[TheJusttryingtohelp1]

@unblindswordzman It was very gradually. When the doctor gave me Zomig tablets and Feverfew ones that I took every morning after about a month I got better. All the Depersonalization lasted about 5 - 6 months but when I was on the tablets it recovered me in a month. You need to stay possitive though threwout it all if possible. I really hope this information has helped .

[beantown54]

@TheJusttryingtohelp1 are thos zomig pills addictive?? or were you able to stop taking them after you got better??

[TheJusttryingtohelp1]

@beantown54 No there not addictive. After I got better I instantly stopped taking them and it is all good
