Thank you, thank you, thank you! from the bottom of heart. You have helped me so much this past year! And these past two videos have been questions I wanted answered so bad
After a weed induced episode in December 2020, I made a huge 8 month progress. I went on holiday less than a week ago, and I was on the plane & all of a sudden it hit me. I was SCARED of myself going insane on this plane & worried that I was going to beg them to let me jump out the plane. It was a 3 hour plane journey, and I let the air hostesses know that I'm in a panic because of a fear of planes (this wasn't the case but I didn't want to go into the explanations). Anyways, I didn't make a fuss and panicked internally throughout it. But I continuously calmed myself down. I cried so hard once I landed from happiness because I had never felt so proud of myself for getting through it. I'm still struggling with setbacks ever since, and I'm trying to take everyday bit by bit. Your videos are SO helpful. Please keep these up.
How are you doing now love? I literally been getting like this randomly! I would feel like a zombie and that imma lash out because i feel no mental clarity. Almost as if imma slip away from reality and not be conscious 😃 i also feel stressed hehe. I hope you are doing well its been 10 months since you commented. I always just remember “last time I didn’t go crazy so what’s different this time”
@@saxior57 I’m much better, it took me pushing myself continuously out of my comfort zone. Feeling the fear & doing things anyway because I don’t want to live my life based on fear. Learning how to meditate & getting to the root cause of the issue. I always had anxiety all my life & it manifested in other ways. So understanding that I was letting the anxiety consume me, meant that I also had more control than I realised. Remember, your fears don’t know your strengths.
@@Lovereems thank you Love, im glad you are doing much better (: I’ll remember that and I’ll keep pushing! I have Pure OCD and anxiety so both are hard together I’ll keep it pushing 💪🏼
@@saxior57 see OCD goes hand in hand with this kind of anxiety! Try just training yourself to keep pushing yourself to doing things even if it’s scary. I promise you have more control than you think, it’s just intrusive thoughts :) good luck
When you go through this, it feels so lonely!!! You feel like you’re the only person on the planet who experiences this. But turns out that’s not the case. And just THAT is very comforting in itself. This describes what I went through exactly, the fear of going insane and losing yourself is so overwhelming it triggers more DP.
thank you man , i actually have ocd and this thoughts comes to my mind after i had cancer and u know cancer and ocd are the perfect match for creating fear and intrusive obssessive thoughts, so ocd helped my mind to keep repeating this thoughts inside my mind and the way my mind convinced me is that i would lose my mind after i had many many many panic attacks ,anxiety attacks and traumatic events and my mind wouldnt bare with all of this plus a nurse told me when i was hospitalized that two people start to act and talk weirder and act anormal so all of these things that i mentioned nurished my anxiety (ocd) so much that whatever i did the thoughts are still there, im convinced and i know that im not crazy at all lol but my mind keep asking the what if questions so its always there , im not panicking anymore because i take medications, it just the constent worrying and fear got me tired. hope u read my comment and i would thank u for the job that u are doing for this community , all love and hope everyone to stay strong
Hey! Your videos are amazing and very helpful for people and for me also because I had a dpdr experience for a while time ago. I think it’s very important to know and tell ourselves that if we are able to feel dpdr we’re not going to lo lose our mind or go psychosis because if this was supposed to happen we wouldn’t have this dpdr protective mechanism. People with psychosis don’t have this mechanism they experience other delusions and symptoms. You’re great and keep spreading goods! ☀️🌈
Thankyou so much Swamy! I have loads of experience in understanding anxiety, depression and even complex PTSD as I have it. But this opens up a whole new chapter to my journey.Bless you and thankyou! I will continue to follow you when needed, it has helped SO much.🙏🙏🙏
I had no idea just how much depersonalization i’ve been experiencing for so long now. Thank you for this, it really showed me that I’m not alone going through this. That I’m not some unique, incurable case. Learning the biological reasons why it happens really helped me a lot as well. I can always remind myself now that it isn’t me going insane, that it’s just my body doing the things it was made to do.
@@Willow-lh46 It took me years of trying different medicines but now my life is back to normal and I feel amazing because of it. There is a light at the end of the tunnel
This one video just changed how i view what im going through thank you so much i feel so calm now ill just remind myself everytime im going through this anxiety that its just a false alarm i have a small headache from telling myself that but its much better than thinking im going nuts
I am Víctor from Spain, I am 20 years old and I have had anxiety since I was little, it used to occur in class, in restaurants, in a movie theater to give some examples... well the fact is, I have been in this hell for 2 years, on May 9, 2022 I I woke up having thoughts that in my life I had had about harming myself, I remember that the day before before going to sleep I read a news story about a boy who took his own life, logic tells me that this could have been a possible trigger, I at the same time At first I was scared because I didn't want to do that nor do I want to and I didn't know what was happening to me, I had a lot of anxiety, my chest hurt, I was short of breath, I felt terrible... in the middle of that hell I thought, well, this is going to be a bad day and Tomorrow I will be fine, because the days went by and it was still the same, even because of the fear I had, I even slept with my mother, imagine... a few days after this, while I was in my room, this thought occurred to me, which I remember perfectly. What if I kill my mother? If after the thoughts of hurting myself I was already bad, imagine after that crossed my mind... literally, I couldn't even see my mother, it was terrible, if before I had anxiety, then after thinking that I had twice as much... investigating why Google I found content about intrusive thoughts and such, at that time while reading about the subject I came across a phrase that helped me at that moment (you are not your thoughts) and that literally eliminated the physical symptoms that I had even though those thoughts were still there. A few days after this I went to the psychiatrist to tell him exactly what I am telling in this message and he told me about impulsive phobias, I went home and a few days after this the typical news that they give at night was on Antena 3's news. Well, well, they talked about a news story about a boy with schizophrenia and what happened to me is that I was literally in shock, I hardly slept that night, literally when I heard that I was like, I have this. I started looking for symptoms throughout the summer and a few more months, in total 4/5 months followed day by day on Google, on UA-cam videos of people with schizophrenia, videos about psychotic breaks, about other mental disorders and well from there I am not bad, the following. I literally began to pay attention to sounds and for example I was watching a UA-cam video of whatever and if I heard something that could be outside of that video, I would rewind the video to see if I heard it again, that was an example of what What I did and sometimes I continued doing it, I was aware of what I saw or if I saw things out of the ordinary, sometimes out of the corner of my eye I see like a flash and I wonder if you are freaking out in case it is a hallucination, I also read about delusions and paranoia and to give an example, reading that these people think they want to kill them and from then on I have thoughts of that style, "paranoid" thoughts even though I know they are a lie, I don't know if after everything I'm saying Are you finding out what is happening to me or if perhaps in your consultation you have had cases of this style, because in Spanish I have barely found information as if I have found it in English and they relate it to OCD called OCD Going Crazy, but literally that Sometimes I doubt that this could be OCD, this seems serious, I'm afraid it's psychosis or schizophrenia, I'm shit, I need help, it seems like I'm delirious at times, although I repeat, I know that certain thoughts don't make sense... I think that reading symptoms has messed with my head because in my life I have had these thoughts and I think I am very suggestive. 3 psychiatrists tell me that they are impulsive phobias but come on, sometimes it seems like he's really crazy.
I've recently came back to this channel to see how much I've progressed since last year when the DP started. I'm not fully out yet, but I don't think I care about it anymore - I just want to bring each of you hope that you can get out of this. My tricks for managing DP are intense physical exercise, muscle relaxation and TRE excersices (preferably every day). It's hard to believe when you are deep in DPDR state, but it's just extreme anxiety, even though you feel like you've opened an existential Pandora's box. Thank you Swamy for your videos, they brought me a lot of comfort when I was scared I'm losing my mind. Like I've said, I'm not out yet, but I already live a life that I've thought would be impossible for me. Try not living in your head, no matter how crazy and difficult your thoughts are, focus on your surroundings, like you've got to learn to live life from zero (that's essentialy it). It's hard work at first, but soon you'll notice that you have seconds, then minutes, then hours when DP is not on your mind. I too couldn't believe by then, but acceptance, ignorance and engaging with reality truly are the key. I wish you all good luck, everything will be fine, and it may be sooner than think.
@@larspikke2 basically out, sometimes I get a random little panic attack but it's just anxiety stored in a body. I'm not the same the person I was before this - some changes are not quite welcome, I still have that consciousness of mortality and think of death very often, but the anxiety, depression and all these scare symptoms are gone. However, I changed my attitude for the better in many areas of life, I don't care about daily struggles anymore, I finally love myself, don't waste my time, value every moment of life. Best life lesson that I could get. Good luck, it's totally reversible and changes life for the better and believe me, I was a total seriously suicidal fuckup, the suffering was so unbearable and I still got out (I didn't believe that I would ever make it out)
@@thephonecalls9856 seriously suicidal fuckup describes exactly what I am. 6 months non stop. Small windows of normality ish but never lasts. How long did you had it chronic
@@larspikke2 yes, it was chronic, soon it will be two years since I've got it. It took me almost a year to accept it, even though I knew the "theory" and lied to myself that I am accepting, but in truth I wasn't doing it at all, was constantly obsessed with it etc. Give yourself time, it really won't matter, after you're out you will vaguely that all that terror and depression. Take my advice, don't waste your time, focus on making memories - this is what counts. Let it completely devour you, jump into that abyss and you will be free. All pathos aside, this is really one joke of a disorder, a fucking scary one but still a joke. Try going on a very long walk, for 3-7 hours, preferably in nature, focus on surroundings your feelings and not your thoughts and I bet that the next day you will feel better. These little glimpses you feel from time to time actually mean you're on the right path, it just fluctuates. It's really just an exhausted nervous system stuck in a fight/flight/freeze response. Eat a good diet (proper fatty acids, magnesium, vitamins D&B), exercise, do muscle relaxations (important) and TRE exercises and you're all set. You will laugh at this, even while still having symptoms because you will already see the light at the tunnel. Don't give up, life will seriously be better than even if you don't believe it know.
Can you please make a video on how you knew you were getting better? I feel like I’ve come such a long way but every now and then I get in my head and create even more anxiety like I’m gonna be stuck like this forever. And it makes me feel like I’m going backwards
Due to the current state of anxiety and derealization, I instilled in myself such a worldview based on existential thoughts that all human activity in life is built on the secretion of certain hormones (or brain biochemistry, the essence is the same), so more and more I do not see the point in human relationships, in art, study, career, travel, yes and throughout life, because all this in the context of such thoughts is fake, ephemeral. Because of this, I experience a terrible depression, and it seems that I will never be able to be as happy as before. That this stupid "philosophy of nihilism" will become entrenched in my personality, and either I have to somehow morally come to terms with it, or I simply cannot do it, driving myself into an even stronger depression, and as a result - suicide. I already can hardly believe that these existential thoughts can let you go along with the anxiety and derealization, as other popularizers of the topic claim. This brings terrible moral torment. Still, other people in this state, it seems to me, at least hold on to something in their life, but I fell into such a pit, from which I see less and less a way out, and after all, only 3 months have passed since everything started. I feel wild guilt from all this, because if it were not for the smoked "joint", then I would be a happy person. Now I think that on the basis of such a destructive worldview for me and the whole condition in general, my life is ruined, because in the past I did not adhere to such a way of thinking, and it seems that this will be fixed in my new, not so good personality. Did we have something? What should I do in this case? And also, a often think about existencial thoughts like: "What is the meaning of the art of creativity? What does this activity give people?" You know, many people advise to be distracted by movies, TV shows, music, and so on, in order to shift your focus from monitoring your condition. But because of such thoughts, it is extremely difficult to do it. And, in principle, I no longer seem to understand how human society works. It seems that I am superfluous in it, but at the same time I think philosophically in the context that "everything is clear to me, and there is nothing else to do in this world." This is terrible.
Yes I think it’s also a spiritual awakening. I no longer see certain tv shows and social media as being entertaining but it’s because I don’t see the value in it like you. Find new things that can bring you value? Maybe reading books, working out, cooking? Idk. Find certain shows that talks about deep things like science and such. If you find no passion in anything then maybe you are still in it and need to find new perspectives on life. I really don’t know , I fed the same sometimes.
i understand you my friend i know what you going through but i just wana say that nihilism in this sense is just stupid like décontracting everything to strip away its value and meaning is like ah ok "SOO WHAT" art is still beautiful like a pizza is only fat and sugar SOO WHAT its still delicious . a diamond is just unusual way a rock formed so what are people gona throw it away? Can Nietzsche throw it away ? absolutely not . cos its freaking diamond everything have value and no one know the truth about this world no one no matter how a great of a scientist or monk this world is mysterious and beautiful and you have the power to enjoy it ,every song every smile every drop of rain Avery small talk funny joke is precious don't give up on just a negative though i hope your doing ok now ,please don't feel guilty about your self you should feel proud cos you are just smarter then average thats all . And "that joint" opened your mind and its scarred you i was gona say good luck but you don't need it you will get better like i did
Swamy, after DP I lost my interest in listening to music and going to the movies..which I loved so much. Since DP came, my ego became vague. So I can't daydream when I am listening to music. I really don't wanna live. Could you give me your advice how to deal with this one? or am I just a too much thinker?
There isn't any specific advice. You just gotta follow the advice I tell everyone here. Accept it, work on building your sense of safety. Resolve trauma or underlying stressors if you have any. And most of all: be patient.
So let’s say you have been recovered for a year, and you’re symptom free. Suddenly you read an article about something such as how memories are fallible or repressed memories, and you start overthinking and panicking. You don’t feel depersonalized or derealized but you have the same fear of going insane because you are suddenly entertaining very scary thoughts with little objective evidence. Is this a relapse of DPDR or is this something different?
Hi Swammy, thanks for the video. It helped a lot. I'm so afraid of the exisdential questions like.. why I am on earth if we died in the end. I'm not depressed but scared that the thoughts never go away. I have dpdr for 5 years, with periods that it goes away. Sometimes I think about things like that I'm alone in my body, like exisdential lonelines... or strange that we can't see ourself like we see a other person. Sometimes I think I'm not made to be a human,, because of all the strange thoughts. Is this normal
I had these DP/DR thoughts, and so did many other people. All these are valid thoughts and experiences. Even many mystics and saints had these questions. You can choose to ignore them and go on about your day. Do something physical with your hands and body. Work on a side project. Learn a new skill. If you let your mind ruminate, it will just ruminate.
Hi Swammy, thanks for the reaction. I had also the strange feeling that I can't be a human anymore. I thought maybe my life is stopping right now and I am not made to be a human. Maybe I can find something on Google how to be not human anymore haha because I don't understand the existence sometimes. And think that this is for the rest of my life... is this normal?
Is it possible that i got dpdr from all the fears from when covid started like the world was gonna end or martial law or that covid woulld kill your loved ones, also this was during lock down in april may and June of 2020 and i would just get my heart pounding from covid or martial law news on internet? I lost what i loved like working out at the gym and playing soccer to staying in doors with these bad thoughts.
YESSSS OMG ITS JUST A CO SYPTOM OF DP/DR I CANT RMBR IF DP/DR CAUSED MY BRAIN FOG OR IF IT WAS BRAIN FOG THAT CAUSED DP/DR. THESE TWO AT THE SAME TIME IS HELL ITSELF
@@arielabeyta9500 far more better,closer to normal than dpdr,but still suffering with depression bad memory etc. But it's getting better,thanks for asking
@@banke8480 when you were getting better did it feel like sometime it was there and sometimes it wasn’t sometime I feel normal and then it get intense again
@@arielabeyta9500 to be honest it's weird,i feel like i was diving and now in coming through the water. I even start to cry today cause i could felt my life again. My perception of time is getting better as well
Hi Swamy, I bought the program from dp no more, with e-mail support for 30 days. I respond to the e-mails with the specified e-mail address but I do not receive a response from you… maybe they don't arrive correctly that could be. I have a lot of questions, can we get in touch?
Hi Swamy I am a 13 year old girl and this is one of the fears I’m most terrified I of, I have panic attacks daily since the beginning of march 2023 and I’m actually having one right now about this very subject what can I do to stop because I am really scared and I can’t stop crying
Anyone experience this feeling constantly without heart palpitations and on a continual basis? Had this after a really bad panic/anxiety attack and it hasn't gone away for over a month now. Feel a little bit DPDR but it seems like its not DPDR just really bad, long anxiety attack. Maybe this is DPDR? IDK...anyone?
I had the heart palpitations and extreme panic attacks at first and now I feel like I notice everything feels off but my physical symptoms are not as strong but mentally…it’s still really hard.
@@sarahjackson372 ok, sounds pretty similar to what I’m going through. I still feel a bit detached from myself/my body and just impending doom all day. Like a “traumatic anxiety attack”. Weird stuff. Hang in there
It sounds similar to what I experienced. It's like an extreme panic attack with DPDR added into it and lasts for hours. Mine got better when I cut out milk and started taking benedryl. How are you doing now?
i’ve had heart palpitations and i’m still a minor so i was very scared but i hear most people with anxiety experience them. it’s just another symptom that comes with anxiety sadly
I love you!! You’re so reassuring and it’s so amazing because you just get it all! Thank you for this. You make me feel so safe
Yes 🙌
are you better now

@@larspikke2 yes, it was chronic, soon it will be two years since I've got it. It took me almost a year to accept it, even though I knew the "theory" and lied to myself that I am accepting, but in truth I wasn't doing it at all, was constantly obsessed with it etc. Give yourself time, it really won't matter, after you're out you will vaguely that all that terror and depression. Take my advice, don't waste your time, focus on making memories - this is what counts. Let it completely devour you, jump into that abyss and you will be free. All pathos aside, this is really one joke of a disorder, a fucking scary one but still a joke. Try going on a very long walk, for 3-7 hours, preferably in nature, focus on surroundings your feelings and not your thoughts and I bet that the next day you will feel better. These little glimpses you feel from time to time actually mean you're on the right path, it just fluctuates. It's really just an exhausted nervous system stuck in a fight/flight/freeze response. Eat a good diet (proper fatty acids, magnesium, vitamins D&B), exercise, do muscle relaxations (important) and TRE exercises and you're all set. You will laugh at this, even while still having symptoms because you will already see the light at the tunnel. Don't give up, life will seriously be better than even if you don't believe it know.
@@thephonecalls9856 Mate this made me cry. I love you. Thank you so much.
You deserve way more views! I wish I could talk to you personally! Please keep making videos. You have a very reassuring energy. 🙏
Thanks man I needed this 🙌 🙏
Tysm. You calmed so much! ❤
Thank you sir 😭😭😭
Thank you so much Swamy Ji
Glad you're back 😊
Can you please make a video on how you knew you were getting better? I feel like I’ve come such a long way but every now and then I get in my head and create even more anxiety like I’m gonna be stuck like this forever. And it makes me feel like I’m going backwards
This article can help with that www.google.com/amp/s/acoachcalledlife.com/how-to-track-dpdr-recovery/amp/
@@RealSwamyG thank you so much! You’re videos really help.
@@danetteortiz how are you
@@danetteortiz how are you now
Did you overcome it
Thank you !
Due to the current state of anxiety and derealization, I instilled in myself such a worldview based on existential thoughts that all human activity in life is built on the secretion of certain hormones (or brain biochemistry, the essence is the same), so more and more I do not see the point in human relationships, in art, study, career, travel, yes and throughout life, because all this in the context of such thoughts is fake, ephemeral.
Because of this, I experience a terrible depression, and it seems that I will never be able to be as happy as before. That this stupid "philosophy of nihilism" will become entrenched in my personality, and either I have to somehow morally come to terms with it, or I simply cannot do it, driving myself into an even stronger depression, and as a result - suicide.
I already can hardly believe that these existential thoughts can let you go along with the anxiety and derealization, as other popularizers of the topic claim. This brings terrible moral torment. Still, other people in this state, it seems to me, at least hold on to something in their life, but I fell into such a pit, from which I see less and less a way out, and after all, only 3 months have passed since everything started. I feel wild guilt from all this, because if it were not for the smoked "joint", then I would be a happy person. Now I think that on the basis of such a destructive worldview for me and the whole condition in general, my life is ruined, because in the past I did not adhere to such a way of thinking, and it seems that this will be fixed in my new, not so good personality. Did we have something? What should I do in this case?
And also, a often think about existencial thoughts like: "What is the meaning of the art of creativity? What does this activity give people?" You know, many people advise to be distracted by movies, TV shows, music, and so on, in order to shift your focus from monitoring your condition. But because of such thoughts, it is extremely difficult to do it.
And, in principle, I no longer seem to understand how human society works. It seems that I am superfluous in it, but at the same time I think philosophically in the context that "everything is clear to me, and there is nothing else to do in this world." This is terrible.
Yes I think it’s also a spiritual awakening. I no longer see certain tv shows and social media as being entertaining but it’s because I don’t see the value in it like you. Find new things that can bring you value? Maybe reading books, working out, cooking? Idk. Find certain shows that talks about deep things like science and such. If you find no passion in anything then maybe you are still in it and need to find new perspectives on life. I really don’t know , I fed the same sometimes.
i understand you my friend i know what you going through but i just wana say that nihilism in this sense is just stupid like décontracting everything to strip away its value and meaning is like ah ok "SOO WHAT" art is still beautiful like a pizza is only fat and sugar SOO WHAT its still delicious . a diamond is just unusual way a rock formed so what are people gona throw it away? Can Nietzsche throw it away ? absolutely not . cos its freaking diamond everything have value and no one know the truth about this world no one no matter how a great of a scientist or monk this world is mysterious and beautiful and you have the power to enjoy it ,every song every smile every drop of rain Avery small talk funny joke is precious don't give up on just a negative though i hope your doing ok now ,please don't feel guilty about your self you should feel proud cos you are just smarter then average thats all . And "that joint" opened your mind and its scarred you i was gona say good luck but you don't need it you will get better like i did
Как успехи в лечение?
I love you Sammy.
Please make some videos about anxiety ,please !
Swamy, after DP I lost my interest in listening to music and going to the movies..which I loved so much. Since DP came, my ego became vague. So I can't daydream when I am listening to music. I really don't wanna live. Could you give me your advice how to deal with this one? or am I just a too much thinker?
There isn't any specific advice. You just gotta follow the advice I tell everyone here. Accept it, work on building your sense of safety. Resolve trauma or underlying stressors if you have any. And most of all: be patient.
@@RealSwamyG Thank you, Swamy G. I will ry to live my life fully.
@@김인호-k5l u good now?
So let’s say you have been recovered for a year, and you’re symptom free. Suddenly you read an article about something such as how memories are fallible or repressed memories, and you start overthinking and panicking. You don’t feel depersonalized or derealized but you have the same fear of going insane because you are suddenly entertaining very scary thoughts with little objective evidence. Is this a relapse of DPDR or is this something different?
How are you feeling now? This whole scenario just happened to me
@@arielyaskow7697how are you feeling now?
@@kimoKSG much better in terms of intrusive thoughts
Hi Swammy, thanks for the video. It helped a lot. I'm so afraid of the exisdential questions like.. why I am on earth if we died in the end. I'm not depressed but scared that the thoughts never go away. I have dpdr for 5 years, with periods that it goes away.
Sometimes I think about things like that I'm alone in my body, like exisdential lonelines... or strange that we can't see ourself like we see a other person. Sometimes I think I'm not made to be a human,, because of all the strange thoughts. Is this normal
I had these DP/DR thoughts, and so did many other people. All these are valid thoughts and experiences. Even many mystics and saints had these questions. You can choose to ignore them and go on about your day. Do something physical with your hands and body. Work on a side project. Learn a new skill. If you let your mind ruminate, it will just ruminate.
Hi Swammy, thanks for the reaction. I had also the strange feeling that I can't be a human anymore. I thought maybe my life is stopping right now and I am not made to be a human. Maybe I can find something on Google how to be not human anymore haha because I don't understand the existence sometimes. And think that this is for the rest of my life... is this normal?
Hey, how are u now?
@@samcarter2629 hey, a lot better. How are you?
@@v.n5622 it's nice to hear this, it gives hope for recovery).
It's getting better and better every month)
Hello, i want to ask why does any kind of screens trigger my depersonalization? 🥴
Can you make a video on it?
Yes reduce the screen time coz gadgets create a fake world reality
Is it possible that i got dpdr from all the fears from when covid started like the world was gonna end or martial law or that covid woulld kill your loved ones, also this was during lock down in april may and June of 2020 and i would just get my heart pounding from covid or martial law news on internet? I lost what i loved like working out at the gym and playing soccer to staying in doors with these bad thoughts.
Swamy please tell me how much pshycatrist charge for dpdr therapy of one session
Does getting medication for anxiety help
In your opinion can benzos make dp/dr worse?
DPDR made me to do horrible things, i was even thinking about taking my own life
Does dpdr cause brain fog?? Please reply 😣
I can confirm weed does
Yes
YESSSS OMG ITS JUST A CO SYPTOM OF DP/DR I CANT RMBR IF DP/DR CAUSED MY BRAIN FOG OR IF IT WAS BRAIN FOG THAT CAUSED DP/DR. THESE TWO AT THE SAME TIME IS HELL ITSELF
Swamy one question please
Does DPDR slowly fading away during time?
Cause i think that's happening to me
I’m hoping I know I’m better than a few months ago so a few more months I’ll probably be a bit better how r u
@@arielabeyta9500 far more better,closer to normal than dpdr,but still suffering with depression bad memory etc.
But it's getting better,thanks for asking
@@banke8480 when you were getting better did it feel like sometime it was there and sometimes it wasn’t sometime I feel normal and then it get intense again
@@banke8480 I notice when the dp isn’t so bad I do feel the depression but you know what I’ll take the depression and work on myself rather than DP
@@arielabeyta9500 to be honest it's weird,i feel like i was diving and now in coming through the water.
I even start to cry today cause i could felt my life again.
My perception of time is getting better as well
Hi Swamy,
I bought the program from dp no more, with e-mail support for 30 days. I respond to the e-mails with the specified e-mail address but I do not receive a response from you… maybe they don't arrive correctly that could be. I have a lot of questions, can we get in touch?
Hi Swamy I am a 13 year old girl and this is one of the fears I’m most terrified I of, I have panic attacks daily since the beginning of march 2023 and I’m actually having one right now about this very subject what can I do to stop because I am really scared and I can’t stop crying
How to reach out to you?
i am italian, i dont understand english. can you write here the tips for overcome from depersonalization?
I don't feel any fear but I have derealization
Anyone experience this feeling constantly without heart palpitations and on a continual basis? Had this after a really bad panic/anxiety attack and it hasn't gone away for over a month now. Feel a little bit DPDR but it seems like its not DPDR just really bad, long anxiety attack. Maybe this is DPDR? IDK...anyone?
I had the heart palpitations and extreme panic attacks at first and now I feel like I notice everything feels off but my physical symptoms are not as strong but mentally…it’s still really hard.
@@sarahjackson372 ok, sounds pretty similar to what I’m going through. I still feel a bit detached from myself/my body and just impending doom all day. Like a “traumatic anxiety attack”. Weird stuff. Hang in there
It sounds similar to what I experienced. It's like an extreme panic attack with DPDR added into it and lasts for hours. Mine got better when I cut out milk and started taking benedryl. How are you doing now?
@@niwtahcardnas9644 better
i’ve had heart palpitations and i’m still a minor so i was very scared but i hear most people with anxiety experience them. it’s just another symptom that comes with anxiety sadly
Hi swammy i feel like i get dpdr when talking to someone
Sir it is ok to feel hopelessness and depressed
How are u now ..? I’m from Pakistan I’m surfing this hill how I’ll back to my life it’s possible medicine cure me ..?
Can u fight dpdr
Don’t fight just let it happen
Does anyone feel like eating makes theirs worse or better?
it makes mine worse
Can i smoke cigarettes ?
I don't do weed but i smoke cigarettes.
Naw don't it can trigger higher levels of anxiety
The nicotine in cigarettes is a stimulant among other toxic ingredients. It’s a wake up call from your body to stop smoking
You can’t go crazy
Derealization is the worst hopefully when i return to this comment i will be much better
Hey , how are you ?
@prosto.vlad7 I'm back to my old self again I'm fully recovered Thank you for asking
Can u share the recovery story
