Yesterday I felt so good that for a moment I thought I was cured, today my DPDR came back stronger. I'm sure of one thing, a cure is 100% possible, and sooner or later whoever doesn't give up will be able to overcome this. Keep fighting, don't focus on the symptoms, keep busy physically and mentally, live as if you were normal, get closer to God, cry out to Jesus, until this mental habit is broken and you return to your normality.
Don't worry, ups and downs like that are common on the road to recovery 😊 You can and will get 100% back to normal! ❤️ www.dpmanual.com/articles/back-to-normal-after-depersonalization/
@@felbaudI'm still experiencing DPDR, I had all the symptoms you can imagine, but the intensity of a symptom depends on how much attention you pay to it, the symptoms are the same, but I don't worry too much about the physical symptoms, my concern is different . What symptoms did you have? Which ones worry you most?
@@felbaudRegarding the use of medication, I haven't used any yet, but I advise you to try everything that is on the table, the medication can help until you recover completely.
The worst part about dpdr is that despite you realizing what's going on it still gives you extreme anxiety because it makes you feel trapped or like your losing control.
Don’t worry, feelings like that (like you're trapped or losing control) are super common with DPDR. I know they can be frustrating but they will fade away and stop as you recover 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/back-to-normal-after-depersonalization/
I want to let you know there is light at the end of the tunnel!! I suffered from dpdr from january to may. It was the worst time in my life. Nothing felt real and it was 24/7. I had panick attacks all the time i couldnt eat or go outside. I lost hope and most of the nights were so dark and i felt lonely. I couldnt take it i tried everything and it didnt help. I started to ask myself is it worth it if nothing makes me feel normal. But then i read the dp manual. I was patient it took 3 months to heal. The process was slow, but one day i just realised i havent had dp in a month. I thought i would never heal from it and i am a very pessimistic person, but i healed even tho i didnt believe it. SO BE PATIENT!
Thanks for your comment and I'm delighted to hear you're fully recovered! ️😍 I'd love to feature your story on the channel sometime if you'd be happy to share it 😊
@@Mw071 it not feeling real is you thinking about it. You are creating that feeling and when you stop it life starts to feel real again. For me it was really bad felt like i was in a dream state. Where things were happening and i wasnt there. I was questioning everything. What am i what is this what is life where did we come from. But now i am fully present enjoying life. When things happen i feel it im there. You are too busy living in your head that you miss whats happening around you.
@@adenless4048 for me it almost feels like I’m in a coma and I’ve made everything around me up in my head like I’m waiting to wake up everyone around me feels fake etc
Don't worry, it doesn't matter what caused it, how long it’s lasted, or whether it’s been 24/7 or episodic, you can always switch DPDR off completely by stopping the anxiety that's causing it 😊 Read this carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/how-long-does-depersonalization-last/
I know what u mean bro it feels like fucking hell each day but if u do things u lvoe to do and constanly stay occupied and displine it will pay off dont u worry millions of people have recovered from this and we will be part of that too
Hi guys, my dpdr started 3months ago after taking a THC 10mg edibles. At that moment i was on tiktok just scrolling it, and while watching it for a moment I found out I couldn’t understand the point of the text on the video, i was panicking, then I couldn’t even make up a sentence in my mind. My heart started to beat too fast, so I thought i am gonna die from a heart attack. I lay down on the couch and started shaking because of anxiety and scary thoughts. I fell asleep, but when i woken up still felt dizzy and high. But when i woke up in the morning I felt totally normal. Then, after 1 month I experienced a panic attack that came out literally from nowhere,but before panic attack i had anxious thoughts about my future. Then, when i had a panic attack i didn’t know what actually it was, and was scared that I’m gonna die. Next morning I started to feel like i am in the bubble, everything felt so unreal, my shoulders when i was sitting. I couldn’t even recognise myself in the mirror and photos. I had been having anxiety like 24/7 and the feeling of a constant pain in my chest or heart idk. Along with anxiety, and dpdr i had hyperventilation. I was searching on the google what is wrong with me, and what could happen with person who took THC, of course there was a lots of information about inducing psychosis and other scary things. I was scared that THC damaged my brain. I was blaming myself that i “lost” myself because of that stupid decision to take one edible. Also i had issues with memory and I felt like i became stupid cause i could forget easiest word, or things that i knew, i started to make mistakes while writing. I told my girlfriend about the situation and she comforted me, telling that it is all because of anxiety and i need to stop searching on the internet about dpdr cause it doesn’t make it any easier. I tried to do meditation but I didn’t like it cause it made it somehow worse. Then, i just managed to accept my dpdr and reassure myself, like tell myself that it is just my brain trying to defend myself from anxious thoughts. I started to think of dpdr like of a friendly dog or the spirit of a big and fluffy dog who was like a guardian trying to defend me. And at that moment, when I reassured myself I realised that for a second or two i felt normal again, so i can say that you can recover 100%. Then, I started to search how to lower anxiety. It was said to do some physical activities and write down anxious thoughts so you can get rid of that feeling somehow, try to eat fruits, walking, just do whatever brings you joy. So guys just try not to focus on you dpdr symptoms, and even if you do at least accept it. Now i feel much better than it was, and can see progress. Btw constant feeling of anxiety lowered, hyperventilation stopped, it happens only once in a week. It is important to highlight that hyperventilation causes dpdr and makes it worse. What i noticed is that recently I caught myself on the thoughts of existing, like what am I doing here? What is going to happen tomorrow or in the future. Now i am having some difficulties with recognition of time, but it gets better, trust me. Every single symptom of dpdr is just symptoms of anxiety. Once your an anxiety lowers, everything gets much better. Dear stranger, everything is going to be fine, and one day you will recover 100%, trust me and don’t lose your confidence! (btw it was my first and last time of trying drugs)
Hey guys! Sorry me again as I’m working through the DP manual I thought I’d ask,also amazing recovery!!! Is it normal to feel like the world is massive and you’re going to float away(mainly get this in open spaces!) , I’m trying to distinguish what’s DP. But, I remember getting this feeling when I had my panic attack and it hasn’t left since. Thank you!!
Don’t worry, feelings like that are super common with DPDR. I know they can be frustrating but they will fade away and stop as you recover 😊 www.dpmanual.com/about/do-i-have-depersonalization-disorder/
I had an almost exact experience as Christy when I was living in NYC. I told the smoke shop worker im extremely sensitive to THC. I just want CBD only. Guy sells me what’s called delta 8 which at that time 2022 I didnt know that is the legal version of THC. I ate 6 gummies (120mg). Had an insane panic attack as I was unaware what actually caused the symptoms, i thought I went clinically insane out of nowhere as I was convinced the gunmies were CBD. Was high for 16+ hours and sustained severe DP, also at that this I had no idea that my symptoms had a diagnosis. Had flare ups of this throughout my life since approx 2001. Currently having another spell of dp/panic/anxiety out of the blue this time. Videos help so much Sean!
Thanks for your comment Ben -- And yeah absolutely, a prolonged intense bad drug experience like you went through can be incredibly frightening. But don't worry, it doesn't matter what triggered it or how intense the initial experience was, it's still the same condition and you can and will recover and get back to normal, 100% ❤️👉 ua-cam.com/video/uT_UDB5e3M4/v-deo.html
Shaun, what do you think about you making a video like a testimony of how it all started in your life, the symptoms you had, and how you managed to overcome your DPDR and how your life is currently? It would be very interesting, I know all this is already in your manual.
I have been experiencing DR for about 8 months now. I am visiting a therapist and trying to overcome it. I am feeling really bad and some kind of hopeless and i dont know where and how to start.
Hey Teodosi, thanks for your comment and I'm sorry to hear you've been having a difficult time ❤️ I know DPDR can be scary but just remember that it’s a natural reaction to stress and anxiety, and people experience it all the time. The National Institute on Mental Illness estimates that up to 75% of people experience at least one depersonalization / derealization episode in their lives. It's part of your brain's natural defence mechanism and usually it only lasts a few seconds or minutes at a time. It's only when it's focused on as a separate problem (feeling like you're going crazy / in a dream etc) that it can turn into a feedback loop with the anxiety that caused it in the first place. But no matter what caused it or how long you've had it, you can always switch it off completely by stopping that anxious feedback loop. Make sure to carefully read through all the articles and info on my website at www.dpmanual.com and my book The Depersonalization Manual. And if you would like to speak to a medical professional please don't hesitate to do so. I would recommend finding an anxiety specialist if possible as they will likely be more familiar with DPDR 👍
Hey Shaun, your videos have been very helpful! I have a question to you or to anyone. I have been vaping 5% nicotine disposable vapes for about 2 years and about 2 months after i started I had a very bad panic attack that led to DPDR. I’m just now starting to think what role my nicotine addiction plays into my DPDR. Could it be contributing to it or even causing it? An earlier version of the DP manual that I have doesn’t touch on this.
Don't worry Ronnie, it doesn't matter what caused it, you can always switch DPDR off completely by stopping the anxiety that's causing it 😊 Read this carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/what-causes-depersonalization-disorder/ And in my opinion quitting cigarettes / nicotine is not essential for recovery but you should of course consider quitting anyways.
Nah man nicotine can’t do that… you might have had stress from not having it around but to have a panic attack that leads up to that you’d have to have pass stress/trauma building up overtime for that to trigger it.
Hey Shaun I’ve smoked weed for the first time and it gave me a panic attack however I just slept it off and I was fine and stupidly about two weeks later I smoked weed again and after the high wore off I kept getting these existential and philosophical thoughts which gave me the worst anxiety no one felt real and my vision was at all time worst I’ve since been put on medication which has helped the anxiety massively however I’m still getting these existential thoughts and it feels like I’m going crazy and like I’m gonna be questions reality forever etc and because these thoughts are not giving me anxiety anymore it’s making me think that I’m just losing my mind and I’m always gonna be questions reality is what I’m experiencing normal or is it a different condition such as schizophrenia etc

I feel the same way, don't feel guilty, it's a common symptom for everyone who is going through this. What other symptoms do you also experience? What cognitive symptoms besides the physical ones have you noticed?
you’re not alone! i was looking everywhere for someone who also shared this symptom. i worried that i lost feelings for my partner many times but once i accepted that it was a temporary symptom i calmed down a lot and have had moments where i felt the love again!
@@jonatas9736 Hello, no, not anymore. When it did happen, I felt numb emotionally, everything felt unfamiliar, my vision felt weird, somewhat distorted, but couldnt really explain what felt different visually, extreme brain fog, constantly struggling to concentrate, things felt scary and surreal, lots of anxiety, couldnt connect to anyone or anything, repeated thoughts and checking in on these feelings (obsessive about them), everything just felt strange.

That’s what triggered my anxiety and dpdr. A month later, I feel way better but the symptoms are still there. Weed is no joke and I recommend people to stay away from it.
@@Dpmanual is it normal to find very spesific parts of the body unreal or alien, I’ve heard of people feeling it with their arms im experiencing it with just my thumbs?
Do check out my dpdr story posted on my channel!! I am struggling with this,but hopefully of getting back to normalcy.Mine started after meditation,6 yrs into it and 4 yrs of intense dpdr.I have also come across ,the understanding of it in spirituality ,it is known by the term of spontaneous kundalini awakening.The culprit was doing Dr Joe dispenzas meditation for a month ,my whole cognition,memory went for a toss,my brain was intensely foggy and I was numb and dumb ,i couldn't articulate well n suffered constant headaches + head pressure.I restarted ssris that made me felt better,bu hope to be fully better off medications.The moment I leave ssris I go back to hell.I have started taking bach flower remedies,hope to reach a point of clarity n connect with myself!!
I’ve heard you have to be careful with some intense meditations. Only go as deep as you’re ready for. Glad you’re doing a bit better. You’ll feel like yourself again soon!
@@christyfig thank you for the reassurance,I am really not sure what I have gotten into,post doing Dr Joe dispenzas meditation,but life has been a total struggle after that, especially with the cognitive aspect.I am just praying,i come out of this totally.Only the ones who have gone through this can understand,how intensely terrible this experience is!!
How can you NOT think about it when it literally prevents you from functioning? I have to lay down constantly from being so dizzy and heavy feeling. This has completely ruined my life. I had to quit working and go on disability. It has been 5 years.

I am struggling with this,but hopefully of getting back to normalcy.Mine started after meditation,6 yrs into it and 4 yrs of intense dpdr.I have also come across ,the understanding of it in spirituality ,it is known by the term of spontaneous kundalini awakening.The culprit was doing Dr Joe dispenzas meditation for a month ,my whole cognition,memory went for a toss,my brain was intensely foggy and I was numb and dumb ,i couldn't articulate well n suffered constant headaches + head pressure.I restarted ssris that made me felt better,bu hope to be fully better off medications.The moment I leave ssris I go back to hell.I have started taking bach flower remedies,hope to reach a point of clarity n connect with myself!!
I’ve heard you have to be careful with some intense meditations. Only go as deep as you’re ready for. Glad you’re doing a bit better. You’ll feel like yourself again soon!
@@christyfig thank you for the reassurance,I am really not sure what I have gotten into,post doing Dr Joe dispenzas meditation,but life has been a total struggle after that, especially with the cognitive aspect.I am just praying,i come out of this totally.Only the ones who have gone through this can understand,how intensely terrible this experience is!!
@@Knowhowskanda yes it is a very scary experience..keep reminding yourself it is anxiety and surrender. Don’t try to fight it or overthink it.
How can you NOT think about it when it literally prevents you from functioning? I have to lay down constantly from being so dizzy and heavy feeling. This has completely ruined my life. I had to quit working and go on disability. It has been 5 years.
What was the cause for the DPDR start? Panic Attack or trauma??
How are you now
