2 Types of Dissociation: Depersonalization and Derealization (Reflection)

[chuckthelumberjack]

I clicked on this video because I have DP and I forgot about it almost completely because you have the most beautiful, calming voice. I would date you just because of your voice because it made me forget everything.

thank u 4 sharing...i was 9 when it 1st happened 2me....at bedtime..the walls kept moving closer and closer 2 me...in my mind...i knew that is not possible...so i gave myself a talk..."it's not real..it's in my head" then i don't remember anymore...i have always had the time.... in slow motion..as a nurse,,,i was good at codes because everything went into slow motion...that meant i was reacting fast..when everyone else was just stood still...

I did not get this from smoking weed or anything like that it just started happening mostly after high school. For me it will get real bad when I start over analyzing things and looking in the future as I am somewhat confused about what I want to do in my life. Or when I think about the universe and the whole meaning of our existance and things like that is when I get this sensation of not being in the present and feel so distant from me and the rest of the world.

Good story, the way u explained it was spot on. I think the anxiety triggered by drugs in my case caused my dp/dr. Memory loss poor coordination and cognitive abilities the only good part of my day to day life is bed time, cause i feel like a child who needs his sleep.

Im seeing a psychotherapist and just started taking buspar for generalised anxiety which is horrible but im hoping it will pass soon cuz i really need my life back and if i had just one wish from god it would be to be normal aga

I have difficulty getting across to those around me what derealization and depersonalization are like. I have dissociation, but I would be very surprised to find I had DID. I very much doubt it. I'm a sexual abuse survivor, though. Teachers thought I was naughty in gradeschool. No, I was dissociating very badly. Everyone in class always seemed to know what we were doing, but me. I would stare out the window on the bus, and by the time it stopped, I'd have forgotten where I was and who I was.

So nice to hear from another person with these problems... and awesome to learn the names of macropsia and micropsia. It somehow makes it feel less freaky to know other people go through it. Thank you.

You ought to make more videos, I'm very interested in your take on Depersonalization and how you've dealt with it, whether you experience memory loss (a very frustrating bi-product of my DP), how you deal with the feeling of not knowing people that ought to be close to you. I think I'm going to make a video myself about DP... anyways you seem highly intelligent and empathic and I got a lot out of your story and descriptions of your DP. hope you make another video, ciao

I have both two along with visual snow. Im 20 and ive had it for 3 years. Thats crazy what you say about looking at your hands. I never notice how it looks detach till now! but i actually look at my hand everytime i start to trip out and move it to make myself feel like im real. The 1st time i experienced it was 9th grade and it happened from smoking marijauna, also how i got it permenantly. I dont recognize my face in the mirror. the world looks different but exactly the same.

@RafaelJrRomero That was because you were high smh

[lucyinatree]

Thanks for this video - I experience this and have described it in the past as an echoy indoor pool!! When I heard you say that line I almost wept!

It must have been very hard to share that story butt I'm sure it helps a lot of people cuz its really good to know that people aren't alone. I have DPD too and I've had it for 10 years but I'm starting to finally get (non-drug) treatment for it. It's been almost impossible for me to concentrate on academics either, so I'm taking a break until I can improve myself. anyways thx for sharing and if you want to msg me sometime feel free =]

Man, the audio is so out of sync I can't even... most soothing voice I've ever heard though. Should probably do audio books for a living, lol.

:( I feel for you....mine came from drugs not trauma like yours but i hear getting rid of it is the same process. Do you take any supplements? Do you excersise very often and do you socialize a decent amount???? Getting out and being around people really seems to of helped with mine.
