"step out the front door like a ghost into a fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white" I imagine that only someone with depersonalization disorder could write something this deep and beautiful. genius.
Why are people so taken aback when people are honest and truthful about what they’re going through and how they feel? People are so used to being lied to and being liars themselves that honesty is a foreign concept and totally against their paradigm. I’m a very open and honest person so much so that I’ve been told to not be so “transparent” at work! It’s difficult to be around fake people all the time. It can cause one to fucking lose their mind.
I am similar to you,I just speak my mind and have been told the same thing.Honestly,it's a good thing.people getting uncomfortable is because you are saying things they prefer to hide and not think about.
Judi Mcmahon People don't like honesty because it requires self evaluation. Acknowledgement of faults means one needs improvement. It's a difficult feat for most mortals.
Borderland Films Hi BF , I, and lots of other people have gotten their lives back after and recovered from this. If you'd like any help send me an email at acavaliero@gmail.com, it's possible and doable. Wishing you yourself :) Best, Al
@@twitchy9373 Hey man, started in 2008 then back again in 2016. When it hit in 2016 I was was everyday all day until I got a handle on it and then did the work involved to heal the pain and bring myself back to baseline presence. What's your experience like?
It was so tough.. I suffered this for a period when I had really bad panic attacks it was my body’s way of protecting the brain from the trauma. U feel numb and like it’s a dream. Almost like u on weed
So That's what that is..damn....wish I'd have known this before. I never dared to talk about It. Thought I was just a bit crazy. I could sooo get "Round here".
I don't know why people talk of being "cured" ...do they mean they are just comfortable with it? They have just accepted this is all. There's no way you are back to the way that you remember yourself once before.
Almost 17 years now. I’m 28 and it’s robbed me of basically my whole life. This comment proves it’s possible to survive it but it’s basically like a prison sentence I guess.
At least twenty times a day... Concentrate on physically tightening your brain... To centre your thoughts and reinforce your local consciousness... "Brain kegel."
This seems like it might work actually. Many times I feel like maybe a part of my brain is just shut off and that's what's causing the dpdr, never thought of doing this but it sounds like it could help.
Being an artist is both a 'gift' but it can also be a curse in the sense that you are so 'imagination' driven that you often lose touch with the rest of reality and you almost don't fit in.
Dpdr generally is first caused by major trauma/intense anxiety or drug use. Drug use combined with a pre-existing anxiety disorder also significantly increases the chances of getting dpdr. If someone recovers from it, the chances of it coming back are much higher now that the body has learned how to dissociate like that. I struggle with this now, anytime I have a period of even a small amount of stress I become at the very least slightly dissociated, but sometimes worse. Mine was caused by a panic attack I had the first time I tried weed. Lasted for about a month, then went away, but ever since then it comes and goes. I personally don't view it as being out of touch. I think it's more just being disconnected. You feel in touch still, but disconnected from everything. Disconnected from yourself, the world, it all seems just foggy and fake. Life feels like a dream when you have dpdr.

I was JUST about to write that.... There's a narrative/3rd person aspect of that whole song....

I love him so much, he has made amazing creative use of this in his lyrics.

Exactly this, also feeling like a part of the brain is shut off. Feeling like I'm stuck in a fog, like a ghost or a zombie or something.
💯 it’s sooo odd to describe but it feels like you’re drunk every second but able to function. Very odd feeling.
I appreciate his honesty! People
Want everything to be inspirational and sometimes it just sucks and you do the best you can.
So That's what that is..damn....wish I'd have known this before. I never dared to talk about It. Thought I was just a bit crazy. I could sooo get "Round here".
This is a very common side effect of coming off and being on certain meds. DP/DR is monster.
That song colorblind is about him thinking the world was imaginary.
Yes, are you a sufferer of DP/DR yourself?
I have suffered from depression before, but I don't suffered from that, thank god.
***** check out my twitter sometime, it may be useful to you @dpd_dr
I had it straight for 27 yrs.....Finally out of it
Happy for you mate! 27 years is no joke!
I don't know why people talk of being "cured" ...do they mean they are just comfortable with it? They have just accepted this is all. There's no way you are back to the way that you remember yourself once before.
I can only speak from a subjective perspective of course. I don't know your situation.
