Your videos helped me a lot! I’m so happy now, that even if my dp/dr is still here, I can still live my life, I can still laugh, I can still do anything on my own. I like to say that yes I do have it, but I’m not suffering from it anymore. It’s been a long time... I’ve been experiencing it since I was a little child, and in the past two months I had the most deep, scariest experience, but your videos helped me not to freak out, and kinda get in a friendship with it. THANK YOU SO MUCH, I’M SO SO SO GRATEFUL, everyone with this problem should see your channel!
I'm touched by your words and really happy to see that you are able to find the light at the end of this dark tunnel. You don't have to suffer unnecessarily from DP/DR! You can have a full life even when the DP/DR is there. We must learn to stop worrying about it and stop giving it so much of our attention and energy.

I’ve been struggling with dp/dr for about two months now. It was brought on by a close family member being hospitalized, which apparently turned out to be a very traumatic experience for me, and turned my world & perspective on life into chaos. On top of this, I also just started college about a week after the onset of dp/dr! So I’m in a completely new environment, with dp/dr, which has really thrown my mind for a loop. My life is very out of balance, trying to manage my first month or two of college, and having dp/dr. It’s hard not having the support of my family, or the familiar surroundings of home. However, I’ve been feeling better the past week or so. My new surroundings are starting to feel like home, and the fear/terror I was experiencing a month ago is subsiding. I’m still feeling dp/dr, but less. I’m experiencing depression and also some emotional numbness, but I think the dp/dr feelings are lessening slightly. I think I’m on the road to recovery, the very beginning stages. I’ve read and researched lots, but your channel and blog is super helpful. I’m ready to take more steps to recovery and I’m starting to feel hopeful. I’m having good moments and feeling less afraid. Will continue to listen to your advice and try to live my life as best I can. Thank you for your help. It means a lot.

I did those same thing’s as well as this man told that what he did as suffering from dp/dr. I’m still on the road of recovery and feel a lot better than when i started my recovery!

It doesn't need to be completely gone in order to have a good quality of life. I went traveling, made it through college, maintained jobs and friendships while experiencing constant symptoms.

@@RealSwamyGHello it’s normal to have problem with present moment because while im doing something or talking it’s like i’m not livinh in this moment or i don’t have controll on what i am talking or thinking it’s like i’m a dead person
I got it from my first panic attack when I was 11. first I had this feeling only when it’s too loud, too many people and things like this. Okay so after 2 years I forgot about it and I had it rarely.. last year I went to a concert and at the beginning I had a panic attack and I felt super disconnected from myself& the world. but after 5 minutes it stopped. after 3 months, I went to a big city alone (with my friend) and I got a hard panic attack. I meant I couldn’t even breath, I felt like I’m in dream, I’m not here. I cried, I didn’t know what to do. I drank water and I called my sister and it’s kinda left me and everything was fine until the day tomorrow. it was a regular day in school. I woke up everything was fine and I didn’t think of what happened. After three hours, I felt that I’m disconnecting again. I thought that it will happen for 5-10 minutes.. but I was wrong.. it started and it didn’t leave me. I cried in class I didn’t know what to do. Everyone looked at me and I couldn’t explain what happened to me. I couldn’t. I called my mother in tears, she told me that she will take me home. I couldn’t stop crying. I didn’t go to school because of that almost one month. It’s a big mistake tho okay so I just felt that I’m scared from the reality and I can’t just go out. I had panic attacks every night. I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t know that I had this disorder so me and my parents went to a psychologist and she told us that I have depersonalization/realization.. also I was very depressed and I cried a lot so maybe it affect me too. So basically I still have this disorder and I’m starting to have panic attacks again (I mean it stopped for a while) and it’s very annoying.
11 years into dp dr 24/7 this is hell 😢 I work drive go to the gym store ect .. it’s so string. Still I can’t even really see straight my vision is messed up and my chest feels like it’s caving in and I hyperventilate for nothing constantly.. I’m dying inside
It makes me feel like I am losing my memory, like I am not myself,my house is not mine ,neither my parents like I am not the person who is their child though it is me but not me!!!!!!! Like two people live in me!!!!!
I have depersonalization and derealization since a year, sometimes i feel like going insane, also chronic hyperventilation, your videos bring me some peace and hope thank you for sharing your stories 🙏🏼
I'm not sure if depersonalisation is what I'm experiencing I keep randomly feeling like nothing is real and I could potentially be imagining ebeyrhing... It feels like a bad trip I had years ago
Thank you so much for sharing with us, your videos are powerful, it can scare you if you let it, one of the hardest things for me is not feeling like yourself not feeling like you know yourself at times, or looking at a loved one and sort of feeling at times they can sort of feel like a stranger, these are yucky feelings but again as you say , stop giving it so much attention, thank you for pushing us with your knowledge! I'm trying to face it, accept it and float through it!! Again thanks!!
Find Yourself no i never did. But i had a psychotic episode 3 years ago in greece and im not sure if it was from drugs someone*put* to me or from mental illness or i dont know from what, since then i suffer from that. But i never touched any drugs or even cigarettes, only psychiatrists pills.
Find Yourself yes i feel like im in anxiety all the time and i do have trauma. Multiple. And no support system. I feel like im not attached to reality and seeing blurry. Everything is blurry and i feel like my mind, my brain is so confused all the time. Its been like that 3 years yes. But i had better times with it.
I really love freediving. I wish i can freedive right now everyday for at least 30 days, but water's too cold and coronavirus. Diving deep and holding your breath in nice chilly water in the ocean is just soo amazing.
This is such an informative and self assuring information from someone who has gone through it himself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge to the world Swami. All the things that you said actually work. You are a godsend.
so ive been experiencing DP/DR for over a year now since becoming agoraphobic (housebound for the most part) so i deal with anxiety/panic as well as DP/DR and ive noticed you have a course. im thinking of getting it, any others here who have taken the course? if so, was it worth it. from these videos he seems like a great guy and not trying to scam anyone. just jobless at the moment so about $100 for this course is a huge payment for me
Thank you man! I am only 15, and I present these things severely. The hardest thing is going to school with dpdr for 8 hours straight. But I will try to follow this to make it go away. Really, I feel that not even my psychologist understands me, but this really relaxed me. Thanks again! Edit: Sept 2022: I am 18 years old now, and very much better from this, im open for any advice for y’all 👍
@MurphysLaw right now I can consider myself better than when I wrote this comment really! Going to school (not anymore) and traveling really helped me... I still have it but i think im way better
@MurphysLaw exactly bro! With this covid thing that people call "new normality" ive related to my dpdr... its better but still there, so i call it "my new normality", now with dpdr
Right now I have a kind of dp/dr structure. Thank you, your video gave me hope n yes this hope will overcome hopeless thoughts ... Your advise video means me a lot
Ondřej Vacek yes I am better 😊😊 don't worry guys it's more than a year to recover .. it's just our thoughts.. you guys will recover too.. believe me❤️❤️ more power to you..
@@sumuacharya3013 have you experienced that constantly thinking about brain, keep questioning about where the thoughts are coming from, how could memories stored in this little head ....
I feel like dpdr makes it so difficult for me to devote my attention and focus onto anything... Once I try to take up something that involves focus and thinking (EVEN TV) I feel even worse :/
This makes me feel better. I'm not sure if I have this disorder. But recently had a panic attack and lost feeling of my arms, hands and I was driving. I was grabbing hard onto the steering wheel and couldn't feel anything. I went to Urgent care and the doctor said it was dissociation. After this episode I haven't felt myself. It's been 3 weeks. I feel disconnected to my body and self at times and it's scary.
I stopped caring about it and it slowed down but then i drank and it triggered it again and i had serious depression and anxiety for more than a week now. The docs are giving me mood stimulizer before but im sure i need more cuz depression is sinkin me into the ground
Sorry to hear that. Can you start some small change in your life? Like take some baby steps towards something? A small positive change has the power to compound over time.
I can't take this feeling anymore. This is my 5th dpdr episode since 2007 when I was 21. I can't shake this one though, it's been since december 4th that I've been feeling like this non stop!! I've been in a psych ward in december they didn't help me, my medicines stopped working all of a sudden in december. No other medicines have worked for me. I feel like I'm losing it and I just want to give up on my life.
Please don’t give up on life. Gods holding onto you so so tight and you have to hold onto him so so tight too. You’ve made it through the worst days and will continue to get through the bad days, I promise!! You gotta keep surviving, take life day by day, moment by moment, minute by minute. Sending so much love and light your way❤️

Thanks for this video. Dpdr has turned my life upside down over the last few weeks. Although I had minor episodes over the last few months, it didn’t start getting really bad until a few weeks ago. I feel like I can barely do anything I like anymore, and I feel like I’ve lost all passion and emotions. I’ve honestly been so scared even though I know this feeling is only temporary. The hypochondriac in me has also been making my anxiety worse since I’ve been telling myself that I have some extremely grave mental illness. I really hope I can get my life back soon and feel like a normal person because this feeling has crippled me so much.
Hey Randall, whatever you are going through is real, but remember nothing that makes you grow and a better version of yourself is comfortable. You get used to it over time. Moreover, observe that how can you help someone going through the same situation and at last nothing happens without reason. There is always something better coming your way. When you come out of it you will appreciate life more and will see a new beauty to it. Loads of love and blessings.
Hey thank you so much for this video! :) I just have a question: how long does the recovery take? My DR has gotten so much worse over the last month, due to the quarantine. It's so hard to get distracted during this time. I think I've gotten the grasp a lot of these techniques to combat DR and sometimes it also does help, which I'm so happy for! But my DR is still here a lot of the time, and I'm afraid that I'll never truly recover. Thanks for reading this, and hope you're all having a great day and that you're all hopefull
@@thc7865 well it never really came back. Some days I have it a little bit, but then I relax and try to refocus and then it goes away again. It’s all about not caring about it, when you don’t care if it’s there and you’re not scared it goes away.
I have been trying my hardest to ignore my dpdr when it gets bad but I concentrate a little to much on it and start feeling like everything around me isn't real. I start watching shows or go work out but the thoughts still linger, any tips on this? should I just let myself feel these things, instead of fearing them?
I want to travel by myself and I am on my way to recovery I want to follow my dream and go to a completely different country but I'm scared that with dp/Dr might affect me when I'm alone .while I'm around my family I feel support but when I think about traveling alone might be dangerous I don't know man I feel like it's a challenge but I really want to do it 😔
I think I have DPDR but it’s more visual for me. My whole house looks a bit too small or something and all the lights are too bright, however I don’t feel that weird. I also have HPPD. I’m wondering if these will also go away like the mental side
Idk what vid I commented on just know I recovered from this, like I fr never thought I would get rid of that fucked up feeling, and tbh I don’t even remembered what it felt like just know I was once in your shoes, I know it may seem like this ain’t real but it is, hard to believe right Shts crazy how the mind works, just know recover didn’t come in days it took me a couple of months , but what helped me was I stopped looking it up and I started walking, my local trail, do something physical to let that stress out
I feel like I’ve come to terms with my dpdr but instead of feeling better, I’m actually feeling WORSE. These last few days, I feel like I took like 20 bong hits and I’m just super high all day long. I don’t know if it’s because I’m training for a new job and my routine has changed and I’m a little stressed. I try to go about my day but I feel like it gets worse when I’m driving. I’m scared I’ll get into an accident. I thought that it would be better once I came to terms with it, but I’m not so sure. 😞
Dp makes me so scared, sometimes i want to talk to people and my brain thinks: am i talking to a non conscious soulles person? Is this person real? It just so scary i cant do daily activities
hey swamy the main thing that frustrates me about dp is the complete brain fog i have with anyone making me unable to connect and have conversation as my mind is blank - even though im not enjoying hanging out with anyone at the moment should i still keep doing it ? i feel like it takes alot out of me but i dont want to get too comfortable and become isolated because the real me thrives of social interaction but its made my social anxiety rather crippling i think
i have that as well, rly bad tension headaches/ tinnitus/ brain fog, no thoughts head empty type beat but it’s cool, im making my peace w it, don’t force anything,, unfortunately i did and kinda set myself back a bit lol, we’re gonna get through this!
Everything thing you said to do seems impossible at this point, my symptoms are so bad and get worse as the days go by I don’t think I can do all these things! I can’t even eat really anymore because my mouth feels so numb! I don’t know what to do !
Start with ONE thing and start SUPER SMALL. Take baby steps on ONE THING. You won't feel overwhelmed. Start with as small of a change as possible and go from there.
I'm having dpdr for about 2 months now and I've heard everything about. I know everything that is useful and can help for recovery but I can't really get over it. Sometimes I have better days where I think thats it's getting better and I will recover soon, some days are just aweful and I feel like it's gotten worse amd it won't get better. The biggest problem is my thoughts all the time about it. And sometimes I even have very frightening fears about getting multiple personalities because of all the thoughts and the conversations in my thoughts and I think it's not normal. Can you helpe me with that? What can I do? Have you experienced something like that?
@Galguita Blanco hey how are you feeling now ? I’ve seen one of your comments Askin for help and it’s been like months since you commented and I just wanna see how your doin !
really, you have helped me a lot .. i have reached the point of not being afraid of dpr and continue to live as normal as before with a little bit of annoyance ... i would appreciate if you answered my question.Learn to live with it..or sometime it is gone completely out of our lives?
Congrats on reaching that point. It's crucial for your recovery. Now, I'd ask you to go inwards and see if there are any blocks/imbalances in your life. If your DP/DR was brought about by trauma or stress then removing those stressors or processing trauma helps to fully recover. If you don't know how you became depersonalized, talk to a professional. Figure out what problems are in your life that is beneath your awareness. Maybe try fixing those issues.
@@postolosmp2082 i need to know what to do to cure this situation. Like how to not feel like this anymore. And thoughts come like this-- this is all my creation of imagination and iam a robot and all others are puppets playing for me. Like negative thoughts like this come. What to do at that time?
Hi, i have a question ive been suffering with dpdr for 10 months, how before i had episodes now i have it 24/7 due to the build up of stress but i actually got it from weed. Is it normal to feel autopilot mode all the time? Like im not really aware of what im doing because i do it so quickly and i dont think about it meaning i forget what i do and how i got to places. Im freaking out im so tired of this.
@@thc7865 hii I feel way better but I do still feel the dpdr not as bad, I just started to do things I enjoy like going to see my friends and distracting myself however I do have bad days and good days x
Its you only because of you and some other recovery stories I got my life back.. i still watch your videos still today right from March 2 ,2019 .. you made my life better your words are so intimate.. thanks for that my god who gave me my life back . Still I have dpdr sometimes but I stopped empowering those thoughts. Love you my brother❤️
Arun Prasath Thank you so much sharing your hope and positivity about this. I am so happy to hear that he is helping you and I, too, have been feeling so much comfort by the knowledge he’s sharing about DP and about how it isn’t the end of the world.
Why does it take so much time to heal? I have accepted it and have been doing my work for the last 4 months just like normal. I socialize, travel, enjoy, have fun etc etc. The majority symptoms have gone away in the last 4 months still I am not 100% and it gets frustrating and heartbreaking at times.
Forget about 100%, it happens slowly. That's just how your nervous system recovers. If you place demands for it to recover quickly, then you'll backslide.
You can't turn emotions on at your will. The DPDR has to start fading away for you to experience emotions again. Follow the principles from the video so your DPDR starts fading away.
Swamy G man thank you so much for this I’ve literally stopped going to work stop talking to my friends and stayed home worrying if I’m going Insane or something.
Great. Also reconnect with work, friends, and don't give up on life. You are braver than you think. Keep inching forward. Let the feelings come up. You got this 💪.
You gotta know that it won't harm you and that you're safe. As long as you feel like it will harm you then you will care. Check my other videos to see how you can feel safe.

Helo swamy can u tell me what actually i am having i feel numb and my heart beats but i feel my heart is not beating i blink my eyes but i cannot feel i feel numb is this dpd?
Hi Swamy do you know when you feel normal after dp/dr is this normal the same as the normal you were before dp/dr.please help me I just got this a week ago iam scared to death
First of all, you are going to be alright. DP/DR is just a normal reaction to the stress you may have been facing. Second, don't worry about "when". You will feel normal again, but it will take a while. Try to be patient. Because not being patient with DP/DR is why a lot of people suffer. I have more info here in this video: ua-cam.com/video/GW8kxxhjU9U/v-deo.html
Your videos helped me a lot! I’m so happy now, that even if my dp/dr is still here, I can still live my life, I can still laugh, I can still do anything on my own. I like to say that yes I do have it, but I’m not suffering from it anymore. It’s been a long time...

Recovering day by day thanks swamy
I'm not sure if depersonalisation is what I'm experiencing I keep randomly feeling like nothing is real and I could potentially be imagining ebeyrhing... It feels like a bad trip I had years ago
Buongiorno. Sarebbe bello avere i sottotitoli in lingua italiana. Non conosco la lingua. Grazie
Thank you so much for sharing with us, your videos are powerful, it can scare you if you let it, one of the hardest things for me is not feeling like yourself not feeling like you know yourself at times, or looking at a loved one and sort of feeling at times they can sort of feel like a stranger, these are yucky feelings but again as you say , stop giving it so much attention, thank you for pushing us with your knowledge! I'm trying to face it, accept it and float through it!! Again thanks!!
How are you now ?
I am going to try and stop caring about it anymore. See what happens...
How do you feel??
Im like this 24/7 for 3 years . This is not a life. And i also depressed and anxious, not having support system and my life is a mess... i cant deal
And yes i had trauma and many bad things but i tried to fix it many times ...
Message me girl! My snap is sierraa_leoneee I’ll help you it’s been about that same time for me too
Find Yourself no i never did. But i had a psychotic episode 3 years ago in greece and im not sure if it was from drugs someone*put* to me or from mental illness or i dont know from what, since then i suffer from that. But i never touched any drugs or even cigarettes, only psychiatrists pills.
sierraa_ leoneee i dont have snap girl this is my instagram - sapirblecher
Find Yourself yes i feel like im in anxiety all the time and i do have trauma. Multiple. And no support system. I feel like im not attached to reality and seeing blurry. Everything is blurry and i feel like my mind, my brain is so confused all the time. Its been like that 3 years yes. But i had better times with it.
I'm taking this to the bank and focusing on my career as an artist/ Photography and furthering my life! Thank you, Swammy!

Thank you so much for making these videos! Your channel is the best one I’ve found for anyone that experiences DP/DR. ❤️
I really love freediving. I wish i can freedive right now everyday for at least 30 days, but water's too cold and coronavirus.
Diving deep and holding your breath in nice chilly water in the ocean is just soo amazing.
I love watching Guillaume Nery videos. I wish I could do that, but may be in the next lifetime.
@@RealSwamyG
It's super fun and amazing! At least you can watch it:)
But hope you will as well in next lifetime
This is such an informative and self assuring information from someone who has gone through it himself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge to the world Swami. All the things that you said actually work. You are a godsend.
Thank you Man this really helped you honestly deserve the best
so ive been experiencing DP/DR for over a year now since becoming agoraphobic (housebound for the most part) so i deal with anxiety/panic as well as DP/DR and ive noticed you have a course. im thinking of getting it, any others here who have taken the course? if so, was it worth it. from these videos he seems like a great guy and not trying to scam anyone. just jobless at the moment so about $100 for this course is a huge payment for me
How are you now?
Thank you man! I am only 15, and I present these things severely. The hardest thing is going to school with dpdr for 8 hours straight. But I will try to follow this to make it go away. Really, I feel that not even my psychologist understands me, but this really relaxed me. Thanks again!
Edit: Sept 2022: I am 18 years old now, and very much better from this, im open for any advice for y’all 👍

@@Kami.4x yeah bro it really does 🤣🤣👊
@MurphysLaw right now I can consider myself better than when I wrote this comment really! Going to school (not anymore) and traveling really helped me... I still have it but i think im way better
@MurphysLaw exactly bro! With this covid thing that people call "new normality" ive related to my dpdr... its better but still there, so i call it "my new normality", now with dpdr
Right now I have a kind of dp/dr structure. Thank you, your video gave me hope n yes this hope will overcome hopeless thoughts ... Your advise video means me a lot
You are great...It's been a year..I am suffering from dpdr ..Ur videos is my motivation swami !!😊 Keep going ..Keep making more videos..❤

How did you recovered?
@@thc7865 bro where r u from?
@@draxsibat7829 colombia
This is a great video, thank you
I feel like dpdr makes it so difficult for me to devote my attention and focus onto anything... Once I try to take up something that involves focus and thinking (EVEN TV) I feel even worse :/
Can you push thru that? Great things happen when you push thru your initial discomfort.
Thank you so much for that video... I’m in a downcicle right now and videos like that give me so much motivation
Very helpful thank you
Honestly thank you so much, i really needed to hear this!
How are you now?
This makes me feel better. I'm not sure if I have this disorder. But recently had a panic attack and lost feeling of my arms, hands and I was driving. I was grabbing hard onto the steering wheel and couldn't feel anything. I went to Urgent care and the doctor said it was dissociation. After this episode I haven't felt myself. It's been 3 weeks. I feel disconnected to my body and self at times and it's scary.
I feel like this also
Is it better now
@@Kountupwitkay is yours better now??
I stopped caring about it and it slowed down but then i drank and it triggered it again and i had serious depression and anxiety for more than a week now. The docs are giving me mood stimulizer before but im sure i need more cuz depression is sinkin me into the ground
Sorry to hear that. Can you start some small change in your life? Like take some baby steps towards something? A small positive change has the power to compound over time.
Yea i started changing the eating bad and running everyday
@@davidnorwood2632 hey man how do u feel now??
I can’t sleep while having this like it completely ruined me
I can't take this feeling anymore. This is my 5th dpdr episode since 2007 when I was 21. I can't shake this one though, it's been since december 4th that I've been feeling like this non stop!! I've been in a psych ward in december they didn't help me, my medicines stopped working all of a sudden in december. No other medicines have worked for me. I feel like I'm losing it and I just want to give up on my life.
Please don’t give up on life. Gods holding onto you so so tight and you have to hold onto him so so tight too. You’ve made it through the worst days and will continue to get through the bad days, I promise!! You gotta keep surviving, take life day by day, moment by moment, minute by minute. Sending so much love and light your way❤️
@@GigiBaby943 I did see a light at the end of the tunnel last month for two weeks when my medications began working, but they stopped. I'm still on the medication, but a higher dosage now.
@@Carolina_girl86 a light at the end of the tunnel is still so so good! Even if it was for two weeks!! Keep pushing on! The more light you keep letting in, the more the darkness will fade. You got this!❤️

Thanks for this video. Dpdr has turned my life upside down over the last few weeks. Although I had minor episodes over the last few months, it didn’t start getting really bad until a few weeks ago. I feel like I can barely do anything I like anymore, and I feel like I’ve lost all passion and emotions. I’ve honestly been so scared even though I know this feeling is only temporary. The hypochondriac in me has also been making my anxiety worse since I’ve been telling myself that I have some extremely grave mental illness. I really hope I can get my life back soon and feel like a normal person because this feeling has crippled me so much.
Hey Randall, whatever you are going through is real, but remember nothing that makes you grow and a better version of yourself is comfortable. You get used to it over time. Moreover, observe that how can you help someone going through the same situation and at last nothing happens without reason. There is always something better coming your way. When you come out of it you will appreciate life more and will see a new beauty to it. Loads of love and blessings.
@@vinavsharma9391 I appreciate your comment. I hope that things get better soon because it can be so hard to function sometimes.
Thank you for taking the time to make this 🙏
Now i have annoying friend thank you it really helped its still with me but little better
Hey thank you so much for this video! :) I just have a question: how long does the recovery take? My DR has gotten so much worse over the last month, due to the quarantine. It's so hard to get distracted during this time. I think I've gotten the grasp a lot of these techniques to combat DR and sometimes it also does help, which I'm so happy for! But my DR is still here a lot of the time, and I'm afraid that I'll never truly recover. Thanks for reading this, and hope you're all having a great day and that you're all hopefull
I recently wrote an article on how long DPDR lasts acoachcalledlife.com/depersonalization-last-long-permanent/
How are you now ?
@@thc7865 I'm depressed, but my dp is much better. It was completely gone for a long time.
@@BammLaura so it was gone and then it came back?
@@thc7865 well it never really came back. Some days I have it a little bit, but then I relax and try to refocus and then it goes away again. It’s all about not caring about it, when you don’t care if it’s there and you’re not scared it goes away.
Great stuff! Thanks Swamy! Thank you for the work you put into this to help us all.
Pls help me I have it for 5 years
Now I don't feel anything real
How are you now ?
I have been trying my hardest to ignore my dpdr when it gets bad but I concentrate a little to much on it and start feeling like everything around me isn't real. I start watching shows or go work out but the thoughts still linger, any tips on this? should I just let myself feel these things, instead of fearing them?
abseloutly
you have to let them be
that is how i deal with it even if it was so bad
I have been struggling with faces, and people and places..they seem unreal or erased is this dissociation/derealization?
Has anyone else experienced tunnel vision within dp/dr ?
and how have you dealt with it ?
How are you now?
How are you now?
@@thc7865 if ur dealing with it now all you gotta do is distract urself and it will become less of a factor in ur life slowly
@@thc7865 I have the worst kind of personality for this disorder and Im doing better so that goes to show it’s very recoverable
@@lukebonaguro7195 you obsessed over it like i did? Me too men but im feeling better and i have it for a year now
Can we say that things like phobias or ocd are forms of depersonalization?
I want to travel by myself and I am on my way to recovery I want to follow my dream and go to a completely different country but I'm scared that with dp/Dr might affect me when I'm alone .while I'm around my family I feel support but when I think about traveling alone might be dangerous I don't know man I feel like it's a challenge but I really want to do it 😔
Im suffering from DP/DR but I'm recovering but still feels like lathergy,not in mood to go Outside i feel like i have no interest and energy at all..!
How are you now ?
How are you now
Sometimes I feel like idk what to speak.. i forget things or my own words which I said few seconds ago is it normal?
I think I have DPDR but it’s more visual for me. My whole house looks a bit too small or something and all the lights are too bright, however I don’t feel that weird. I also have HPPD. I’m wondering if these will also go away like the mental side
Idk what vid I commented on just know I recovered from this, like I fr never thought I would get rid of that fucked up feeling, and tbh I don’t even remembered what it felt like just know I was once in your shoes, I know it may seem like this ain’t real but it is, hard to believe right Shts crazy how the mind works, just know recover didn’t come in days it took me a couple of months , but what helped me was I stopped looking it up and I started walking, my local trail, do something physical to let that stress out
I feel like I’ve come to terms with my dpdr but instead of feeling better, I’m actually feeling WORSE. These last few days, I feel like I took like 20 bong hits and I’m just super high all day long. I don’t know if it’s because I’m training for a new job and my routine has changed and I’m a little stressed. I try to go about my day but I feel like it gets worse when I’m driving. I’m scared I’ll get into an accident. I thought that it would be better once I came to terms with it, but I’m not so sure. 😞
MurphysLaw I feel like it’s gotten somewhat better. I don’t think about it as much as I used to. So that’s a huge improvement.

Dp makes me so scared, sometimes i want to talk to people and my brain thinks: am i talking to a non conscious soulles person? Is this person real? It just so scary i cant do daily activities
U need to be more recognized
Nice video !
hey swamy the main thing that frustrates me about dp is the complete brain fog i have with anyone making me unable to connect and have conversation as my mind is blank - even though im not enjoying hanging out with anyone at the moment should i still keep doing it ? i feel like it takes alot out of me but i dont want to get too comfortable and become isolated because the real me thrives of social interaction but its made my social anxiety rather crippling i think
Thanks alot swamy.
Thank you for sharing this bud
Do anybody get head pressure. Can that also be a symptom? Feels like I can't concentrate. Great video by the way 💯
i have that as well, rly bad tension headaches/ tinnitus/ brain fog, no thoughts head empty type beat but it’s cool, im making my peace w it, don’t force anything,, unfortunately i did and kinda set myself back a bit lol, we’re gonna get through this!

Sure, I will do one in the future.
How are you now?
Thank you so much for this video ! This really helped :)
How are you now?
Everything thing you said to do seems impossible at this point, my symptoms are so bad and get worse as the days go by I don’t think I can do all these things! I can’t even eat really anymore because my mouth feels so numb! I don’t know what to do !
Start with ONE thing and start SUPER SMALL. Take baby steps on ONE THING. You won't feel overwhelmed. Start with as small of a change as possible and go from there.
Swamy G is recovery still possible with such severe symptoms?
Swamy G I feel like I’ve waited to long to try to start my recovery, my symptoms are so bad I fear it’s too late!
Mike S somatic symptoms are symptoms that can’t be explained, I have DP/DR I know what it is. Thank you though!
Mike S no I have not but I will definitely look into it! Thank you so much !!😊
Very helpful tips thx
I'm having dpdr for about 2 months now and I've heard everything about. I know everything that is useful and can help for recovery but I can't really get over it. Sometimes I have better days where I think thats it's getting better and I will recover soon, some days are just aweful and I feel like it's gotten worse amd it won't get better. The biggest problem is my thoughts all the time about it. And sometimes I even have very frightening fears about getting multiple personalities because of all the thoughts and the conversations in my thoughts and I think it's not normal. Can you helpe me with that? What can I do? Have you experienced something like that?
@Galguita Blanco Yes, my instagram is kevinwagner_mma you can write me there
@Galguita Blanco hey how are you feeling now ? I’ve seen one of your comments Askin for help and it’s been like months since you commented and I just wanna see how your doin !
Queria escutar esse vídeo em português.
really, you have helped me a lot .. i have reached the point of not being afraid of dpr and continue to live as normal as before with a little bit of annoyance ... i would appreciate if you answered my question.Learn to live with it..or sometime it is gone completely out of our lives?
Congrats on reaching that point. It's crucial for your recovery. Now, I'd ask you to go inwards and see if there are any blocks/imbalances in your life.
If your DP/DR was brought about by trauma or stress then removing those stressors or processing trauma helps to fully recover.
If you don't know how you became depersonalized, talk to a professional. Figure out what problems are in your life that is beneath your awareness. Maybe try fixing those issues.

Hi, i have a question ive been suffering with dpdr for 10 months, how before i had episodes now i have it 24/7 due to the build up of stress but i actually got it from weed. Is it normal to feel autopilot mode all the time? Like im not really aware of what im doing because i do it so quickly and i dont think about it meaning i forget what i do and how i got to places. Im freaking out im so tired of this.

Hi i get dpdr when i talk to people any tips
Why does it take so much time to heal? I have accepted it and have been doing my work for the last 4 months just like normal. I socialize, travel, enjoy, have fun etc etc. The majority symptoms have gone away in the last 4 months still I am not 100% and it gets frustrating and heartbreaking at times.
Forget about 100%, it happens slowly. That's just how your nervous system recovers. If you place demands for it to recover quickly, then you'll backslide.

What about having not emotions? How do I turn them on?
You can't turn emotions on at your will. The DPDR has to start fading away for you to experience emotions again. Follow the principles from the video so your DPDR starts fading away.
Swamy G man thank you so much for this I’ve literally stopped going to work stop talking to my friends and stayed home worrying if I’m going Insane or something.
Swamy G but i will definitely follow the steps you mentioned in your video.thx again.

Hi Swamy do you know when you feel normal after dp/dr is this normal the same as the normal you were before dp/dr.please help me I just got this a week ago iam scared to death
First of all, you are going to be alright. DP/DR is just a normal reaction to the stress you may have been facing. Second, don't worry about "when". You will feel normal again, but it will take a while. Try to be patient.
Because not being patient with DP/DR is why a lot of people suffer.
