Hi Shaun, this is really great material!! Thank you very much for sharing your experience and this wonderful content. I've read you talking about the feeling of distorted/fragmented time as part of this, but i'm not even sure if these are the words to describe what i'm actually feeling, regarding time. I'm not even sure if it's DP/DR what's going on.
I've been dealing with OCD a long time now, but this year I have the feeling like something else 'broke'. Like the perception of time is not making sense anymore. Feelings like the past/my past is not there, that it goes away as soon as it passes, hyperaware of the present going on, totally focused on the time passing, kind of fearing the feeling of future, trying to understand what future is and the feeling that i could disappear in any time or the universe could change its rules... and all kind of existential questions about time and who i am...
There's a feeling of time happening to me instead of me passing through time, and my confidence/skills/identity that brought me here and made me achieve a lot of things, are kind of distorted...
The more i try to "understand" how it works and what this means, the more anxiety i feel. It's awful.
On the other hand, i guess this feeling of weirdness and not having words to describe it properly, works exactly as a proof for DP. I'd love your opinion on these symptoms. Thank you very much!!!
Thank you so much for this video. It isn’t the first time I had dp and I feel so much more aware when I get do
I feel that I have had this for many years. I wonder is that is possible but it would explain a lot of things. I also have Parkinson’s and thought it may be related. What type doctor should i see for this?

I’m crying cause I’m not alone I thought I was going insane
Don't worry, you're not alone and you're not going crazy 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-three-reasons-youre-not-going-crazy-2/
I cried too when I realised this for the first time. And I am almost crying for you pet because I know the horror you are going through but you will be better I promise you it takes time but it will happen ❤️
Me too. I'm crying at this moment. I've literally thought it was gonna happen forever. I've even had suicidal thoughts.
@@clyde.l8353 I thought all those things too and that death was the only way out but I promise promise promise it is not and it will go away. You should see a counsellor and doctor in the meantime to ease those negative thoughts until this passes because it can take time.
yes
One thing that helped me was repeating “If I was truly going crazy I wouldn’t know it” For me it felt like it hits me to reality
Absolutely Ana, what's known as your reality testing remains intact at all times! 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/schizophrenia_cancer_depersonalization/
Sometimes I have to tell myself, if I'm this terrified, there must be something in my life of value that I'm worried I will lose. During my lowest point, the first thing that I was able to hold onto was the taste of eating pickled peppers out of the jar. After a month of not feeling anything of value, I realized that I was enjoying this snack, and it gave me more hope than any medication or therapy ever did. It also is known that spicy foods inherently create intense memories that feel grounding, and it makes sense why I have enjoyed spicy foods my whole life while dealing with anxiety and dissociative issues
@Autumn Goldsmith I just did some research on this because I heard something that could be contrary to what I just said. Supposedly there are 2 sides to this, on the one hand capsaicin has been linked to further memory loss in the elderly (specifically those who eat spicy foods every day)... on the other hand, there is still a direct link between capsaicin producing more endorphins that give you the good feels and temporarily relieves stress, panic, and anxiety. So the moral as always is moderation, but if you're ever in a panic, try reaching for a pepper, maybe it can distract you if nothing else
Is that normal that your life before DpDr seems very unreal? Because I can remember what happened before that but I can't really connect to it and I have no emotions when I think about the past. It's just like I dreamed it
@armaletsplay this is what I experience. I feel very disconnected it’s almost like a numbing feeling. When I try to think about how I felt before I depersonalised I can’t remember it what so ever the memory feels blank

Hey everyone! I'm here to inform you that not only does it get better, but it can completely go away. In 2021 I ended up taking too much of an edible and had the worst panic attack of my life. I spiraled into existential dread and basically lived in nonstop derealization for about 8 months. In the first few weeks I was so depressed and anxious that I was having more than 10 panic attacks daily, was throwing up everything I ate, and left work entirely. On the 6th day I checked myself into the ER because I wanted to yk, Kermit sewer slide. During my recovery (which was a long rollercoaster) I made a UA-cam playlist of all the videos that helped (and basically saved my life.) If you're dealing with this or existential anxiety right now, I just want you to know that even though it's terrifying and you feel extremely alone, I'm here. I've lived it. I'm still alive, and you'll be okay. You're not gross, or crazy, or a crybaby. You're hurting, and it will get better. Love you all, here's the list :) I wish you all the absolute best ua-cam.com/play/PLLJYuBgviqU_BQ9j2IhfjA7ADknro3_f6.html
Thank you skye! I’m suffering so bad right now. Time doesn’t seem to make sense, my mind is on overload to the point where I’m scared to even go do the things I like to do. At night i get so deep in my head that I worry I’m stuck in my mind. Reality feels off or like I can’t grasp it. Also I keep having many many panic attacks all day long because of the worry that this is something serious. Did you have any of these symptoms? Your comment brought me some peace and I am going to watch those videos. Let me know.
@@jakenegus2845 yeah I dealt with most of what you mentioned. The trick is in slowly allowing yourself to exist within the feeling rather than fighting it. When you start dissociating you're instinct is "oh shit it's happening what do I do I gotta fix it-" but that just amplified the stress. If you can instead calm yourself down by going "okay. I feel really weird right now, but I'm still realistically safe. What can I still get done while I feel like this." After a while you start training your brain not to fight itself but rather to accept the symptom, which reduces the anxiety. Once you know you can exist within that feeling, you don't fear it. And as the anxiety leaves, the DPDR can no longer exist. You've got this man. I know it's horrible at first but you'll be okay. Sending support :)
@@jakenegus2845 I can relate so much. It eventually got better for me, I hope you feel better soon!
I checked myself into a psych hospital bc of it. Seriously the worst thing to ever happen to me.
Thanks a lot for sharing this 🙏
I remember watching this a little over a year ago thinking that this state of mind would never go away. But guess what? It did. I still have tiny episodes every now and then but there is hope. Please don’t freak out. Give it some time and you will feel normal again hugs ❤
Thanks for your comment Emily and I'm delighted to hear that you've recovered! ❤😊
How you're doing today? Fully recovered?
Does anyone else feel confused about where they’re at when they’re at a familiar place? I’ll be at work and everything looks/feels unfamiliar. Like the room expands.
I felt this and still feel this like I’ll wake up or do something and out of no where it feels like this isn’t my place and I never seen it before

So glad to hear it was helpful! 😊
yessss
I seriously feel this. I’ve been writing in a journal lately because I’m out of thyroid medications and I know when I’m out my anxiety amplifies and I’ve been dealing with pretty sever dp and I wrote a journal entry where I explained how living was like watching tv with the static vision and the tenitis sounds and I went deeper into the symptoms I was experiencing and so after I wrote it I felt like what I had just wrote down was me going crazy and so I felt that if I read it out loud I could reevaluate and figure out what it all means and so I read it to my boyfriend and after I had said some gravitating things he said nothing at all I asked why he isn’t saying anything after that was hard for me to hear myself say and he said he didn’t know what to say about it. At that moment I felt so unrecognizable.
Sorry but it's so hard not to notice that the second line of your comment literally says "my ass is so nice and refreshing" 😂
I know right! I'm so sick of being looked at like a rude monster
As a mom going through postpartum depression and anxiety, this has been incredibly horrifying. I’ve been dealing with it for over a month now and It’s been very hard to form a bond with my baby. If any postpartum moms are dealing with this, I see you and my thoughts are with you! We will get through this!
Hey Lauren, thanks for your comment 😊 I know DP 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

I'm going through this now as a new mom
God is with u❤

This helps a lot . I have been worried that I’m developing a psychotic illness . I have panic disorder and OCD . I hear it’s a common fear among the OCD community . I’m glad I’m not alone thanks for this .
Glad it was helpful 😊
I have OCD and one of my obsessions was psychosis! We just need to accept uncertainty. If we go crazy, we will cope.
I have OCD as well and I’m obsessed with dementia
@@arincrews8879 to me it’s it’s truly fascinating how our brain thinks the same way. I also thought that I might have dementia for a while and then later psychosis. I was fully convinced that I had them and I remember being terrified and absolutely panicking for several hours alone in my bed.
Idk if I have ocd,bcuz I've never had ocd symptoms, I have adhd and health anxiety that was caused by dpdr. So for some time I was convinced I'm a schizophrenic and then a murderer and then a rapist..etc, have never had such thoughts like these before. Started to get them like a month ago,it's tiring honestly
Im 16 and going through DP bro everytime i see ur face its like an angel saying to me "its okay, dont worry about it" i love you for this
So glad to hear it's helpful 😊😊

to other people struggling with this… it helps me to say to myself, “this is just a coping mechanism, i’m okay” and “this is uncomfortable but not dangerous, im safe” over and over
I’ve been having if for a couple of days and I feel like it won’t go away…
@@kaidanalexander2840 i still am experiencing but it does help to understand that it’s only a symptom of anxiety, there’s nothing actually wromg with you, it will go away on its own, and DO NOT KEEP GOOGLING ABOUT IT (this makes it a lot worse)
@@savannahhoopes75 i been going through anxiety, dp, and weird reality intrusive thoughts for past couple days. Its so scary but it helps watching these type of youtube videos and it helps reading comments like yours. Its just tough easing the anxiety even knowing what it is.
@@savannahhoopes75 thank you for reminder really need that today
My problem is that I don't feel my thoughts as mine, I feel them external to me. It's like someone thought the stuff, not me, nevermind what I'm thinking about
I like the term “temporary airbag” it makes me feel like my brain is trying to keep me safe until I feel safe getting back to myself. I’ve felt trapped in my head for 3 weeks now. You described EVERY feeling I’ve been experiencing the past 3 weeks. The loss of my inner monologue missing SCARED me. I’ve even had trouble day dreaming which I use to do 24/7.
Thanks for your comment, I'm so glad the video was helpful! 😊
How are your feeling to date? I’ve been in the wave for 3 weeks now

Oh my lord. I've felt like this for almost a year since having my first anxiety attack... poor memory, lack of concentration, sensitive vision, visual snow, feeling emotionally "numb," detached from myself and my surroundings, skewed sense of time... The list goes on, but I legitimately thought I was dying for a while, which was terrifying. This video gives me hope!

Glad to hear you've recovered! 😊😊
What did you do to help you
@@Dpmanual I’m having issues what is the best things to do
@@henokmersha7128 stop obsessive thinking, sleep alot and excercise
@@henokmersha7128 exercise, praying, avoid caffeine and alcohol at all costs, chamomile tea, watch motivational videos and most importantly go out with friends and socialize as much as possible, it helps a lot. If you have a friend that you can share your problem that's way better because I have none. And also be brave, you already now that you're normal and whatever tricks your brain tries, can't do shit to you. They're just thoughts. But don't focus too much on your thoughts you'll always end up thinking the worst when you're in this state, because of anxiety. For me it started vanishing when I decided I'll no longer let it beat me. I was having such a bad time with it and then one day I take of my shirt play a video called when life hits you and I do pushups, running and jumping with all my power trying to get it out by force, until I was lightheaded and my body was hurting, than I realize it's still there and I can't get it out. So I go to my room take a long look at myself on the mirror and I started crying. At that moment I realized something. I realized that I love myself, I realized that I was suffering now because I didn't give myself the love it deserves. All that previous trauma from an abusive father and weed caused this for me. So I had to give myself time to recover. And I promised myself that whatever games this derealization bullshit tries with me I'll not allow to put me down anymore. Of course I had it happen again to me, but now I made a promise to myself that I'll be strong and handle this if I respect myself. Sometimes it took over me, sometimes I beat it, but the promise I made to myself helped me a lot. And even as a nightmare as it seems, it is actually working for you. Your brain loves you so it is doing it to protect you from danger, even though it's doing it at the wrong time. So fall in love with yourself, fall in love with derealization and don't fight it back because this is the way of our bodies telling us I love you and you should love yourself too. And out of that experience I emerged a whole new better person. So take this chance to be better and trust the process. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and this is no exception for that saying. Trust god and trust me and trust everyone that has gone through it that you'll recover and you'll be even a better human being than you were before
When im in the shower I suddenly come realise im alive and I start to question how I got to the shower - I feel like im in autopilot up until that point and I feel as if I am on the verge of collapsing completely

Ya the other day I was driving and totally zoned out and I came to and was like “ woah I’m fully here now” it freaked me out. Also once I put a can of tuna on my counter, then opened my fridge then when I looked back, the tuna can was open. No memory of me opening it
Hi everyone! I struggled with derealization a few years ago and promised myself that if I ever got better I would come back to let you all know that getting better is possible! I was stuck in the cycle of panicking about the way I was feeling for a while. I don’t want to say the timeline because everyone is different. Even after I started to accept my feelings and knew what was going on, I still experienced the symptoms of derealization. It takes awhile for your body and mind to feel safe again, but you have to stay consistent. My best advice to anyone who is struggling with derealization is to be kind to yourself, slow down, and remember that what you are feeling is not dangerous. After time, it will get better. I wish all of you guys the best of luck on your healing journey ❤
Thanks for your comment Erica and I'm delighted to hear you're doing so well! 😊
How you're doing today?
As a 14 year old who is suffering from depersonalization this video is helping me a lot
Hey, thanks for your comment and I'm glad to hear the video was useful 😊 Firstly, please make sure that you’re speaking to your parents about what’s happening. It’s very important that they know what’s going on. Secondly, I know DP can be frightening but remember that it's just your body and brain's natural response to stress and anxiety. It's not permanent and it can't hurt you. You can and will recover. Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website at www.dpmanual.com
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 👍

Typically, I find when I am the most stressed I get Eye floater, so if you were to reduce your stress the Eye floaters should go away. Also, make sure your blood sugar sugar levels are good, you have a good sleep and try and not focus on the floaters, maybe listen to music or a podcast, hope this helps… Good luck!
@@andrewmarzec what helped me massively recover from this was always thinking this is just a illusion to your brain which is a defensive mechanism,and for they eye floater to go away you need to the stop the panick and be in a calm state always get distracted a lot:)))

@@Dpmanual Please can you answer my question? Around about 1 month a few weeks ago my girlfriend left me because of uni and long distance and a few weeks before that I was overthinking as to why she wasn’t talking to me and that’s when I felt the anxiety creep in. It would be so bad that I wouldn’t or couldn’t eat for a good 3 days because of the anxiety but then after the anxiety that numb feeling came in and even tho I have been through this before with covid earlier on in the year I just want to know if my situation will get better I know Dee down it will but I just want confirmation that it will and I will connect back to what I used to feel towards things? Baring in mind that numbness when I had covid lasted for 3 months.
Thank you I appreciate that!
What to do with headace in do??? And eye heaviness
I’m starting to find out my anxiety/Panic is being triggered from sinus issues and lack of good oxygen flow to brain. This makes my existential thoughts/DR worse. And I’ve found that clearing my sinus issues and treating the pressure has calmed me down and brought me back to reality almost every time. So if anyone has sinus issues or deviated septum causing airway blockage, consider you DR/DP being triggered from anxiety driven by these sinus issues. Chronic Sinusitus is a big reason!! Hope everyone recovers!
Does this cause your head and ears to constantly feel blocked?
Girrrrrl,no way. Thanks
this was me
i was really panicking because it had happened to me, ive had my own trauma and anxiety. i was pinching myself and i could feel it just as the same when I wasn't in the depersonalized session but i still felt distant from myself and i wasnt in danger and its a scary experience, i could walk, talk and move but it felt like i was in VR and not in my own human body, this is really reassuring to know i am not alone so thank you
There’s no way of saying this without it sounding too intense or dramatic, but thank you, I think this video just ultimately saved my life.
Wow, that's so great to hear! 😊😊
It forsure makes me feel more human and validated, I've felt like this from my anxiety my entire life, it started when I was about 4 or 5 and started getting worse when I was in middle school, no one believed me that things were this bad and no one could relate to the things I was feeling other than stress and fatigue, which lets admit is something everyone has to point in middle and high-school settings.
Same for me
But what if I told reality is just electrical signals interpretated by your brain. You don't see it but you perceive it in your brain.....In your brains visual cortex......that's located in a tiny dark place at the back of your brain.....even YOU and your loved ones are just your brains interpretation and that is a fact that has been proven by science. All your senses are just electrical signals. You hallucinate everything you know and love inside your head. When you die you are born into the illusion again... You CANNOT escape and you never will..... Its a cycle that repeats
PS
Sleep well 😉
@@12miah same happened to me bro
Started when I was 11 and gone away in 4 months now it's back I'm 16
I swear when I have tests at school I feel so calm, dangerously calm. I feel like I should be panicking and I should be hurrying up, but I’m just sitting there without a thought of the world. I feel so disconnected it sucks.
Truuue
me too. I was walking to the bus stop, and there was a group of boys behind me, I was walking up a steep hill. they were getting closer behind me and speeding up so I kept telling myself to hurry up, then started over thinking about how my heart was racing, then I had a panic attack and stayed home. I can't even explain why, and some places are triggers for me :(
For me personally I enjoy this aspect. My stomach used to eat itself due to stress, but now I don't even flinch say in a car crash. I'm the same before, during and after
omfg thats so trueee, like you even feel bad cause you ask yourself ''why im panicking over something thats completely normal''
Your over thinking not getting caught up in things.
Prayers to all you who suffer from this as well. Almost unexplainable but so nice to know I’m not alone. 1 love ❤️
Thanks for your comment and you're absolutely not alone 😊
@@Dpmanual u seem like a super nice guy so it's really really hard for me to say this , but u should like like their comment bruh. Just seems professional if yer gonna make the video haha well anyways I enjoyed yer show thx , I think I might have it to some degree.
@@DpmanualI definitely talk to myself without realizing it in public and some times it's not me talking haha .
Thank you so so much Shaun for posting such a clear, vivid, over- simplified video explaining all the touch points whose primary root cause being ANXIETY alone. I have been in chronic anxiety since very long, which gradually became a part of me like a parasite feeding off of me without even me realizing it. This video was such an eye opener for me.
Very glad it was so helpful 😊😊
Man I Love This Guy I Can Go To Sleep Knowing I Have No Brain Damage..
Love you too Michael! 😊
Sometimes I don’t even know where my anxiety came from, like why am I still anxious and why do I still feel this way. I think it’s the fear of it never ending and or fear of fear.
Hey, thanks for your comment! Don't worry, that loop of anxious thinking is super common with DP and all anxiety-based conditions. But it will fade away and stop as you recover. And don't worry, it's not never-ending. It's a temporary condition and you can recover: www.dpmanual.com/articles/is-depersonalization-permanent/
PopEyedPoPo it’s so normal. I thought my case was unique, and that I was trapped because I was fearing fear itself and that I would be stuck in this never ending loop. All I had to do was focus on other things in my life and eventually I forgot all about it and returned to normal without even realizing it
Yara true am starting to feel good again
HenryClaps so happy for you ^^ normal life is good
YESSSSSS I SO RELATE
Hey thanks man, this was really helpful!
Glad to hear it! 😊
“Still high and you can’t come down” that’s exactly how I feel, and when I try telling people about that feeling they just think I’m trying to act cool or I’m being a douchbag
Hey Kayden, thanks for your comment 😊 I know DP can be frightening but remember that it's just your body and brain's natural response to stress and anxiety. It's not permanent and it can't hurt you 😊 You can and will recover. Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website at www.dpmanual.com

Very glad it was helpful Amanda 😊
thank you so much bro!!! Last year a psychatrist diagnosed me with psychosis but something didn't feel completely right about that. This makes so much sense.
Anyone having trouble listening to music you once loved or music at all, like I need my emotions to connect to music but I feel disconnected to everything.
Don't worry, feelings of disconnection like that are super common with DP and will fade away and disappear as you recover 😊
Yess doesn’t it feel like all the songs u once loved are like strange and u don’t know the lyrics
OMG YESSS!!! I love music, but with this dpdr disorder it’s almost like I get annoyed with the music or I get a feeling of going crazy if I listen to it, message me on Instagram @stripforingridd
Same here bro
Do any of you guys have this thing where you feel like you cant connect to your memories? Like, everything is up there, no memory loss or anything, but you cant emotionally connect to them? Can anyone relate? Will I eventually get my memories back?
Is anyone watching this while feeling dp? Or just me?
me am suffering from it
Just found out about this i been expereincing for the past 4 months and it has taken a huge toll on my relationship with everyone around me. Can any Dp survivors suggest me some ways how to prevent it from happening
@@soorajjoshuajerald1532 I literally have to bury it in my mind. That's why it's scary to watch the Matrix and the like, because I don't want to dig up bad thoughts that might make me "realize" something and I'll subsequently die or go insane. It's truly just a fear of fear. I would just try your best not to dwell on it and if you talk about it with other people, just talk about it in and objective way that doesn't identify yourself with it as best as you can in that moment. Separate your identity from your condition.

This so calmly puts everything I've been feeling for the past year into words. Thank you

thank you for this video i’m sitting here bawling watching it but at the same time it feels so much better to know i’m not alone in feeling like this
Glad it was helpful! And you're not alone 😊
I thought I was the only one who had a fear of looking up the sky, it just scares the shit out of me how vast the universe is and we're all so tiny
Don't worry, that's a very common fear with DP, it will fade away and stop as you recover 😊
Thank God I'm not the only one
Same lol
In my case I'm afraid of humans... I'm a human too, but when I look at the people on the street I feel a little bit scared because I think we are weird looking. That doesn't happen to me when I'm looking at animals.
Oh man. Same with me. I used to love staring out into space or the day sky. But now it gets scary thinking too deep.
I just want to say: I suffered from this for a long time and thought I would never feel normal again. I eventually recovered, and quicker than I thought.
Very glad to hear you have recovered Grant 😊
How....
How long
@@katenka_ana3997 simple solution just forget about it try to not think of it don’t worry about it and it will fade away with time and sleep well and don’t be scared about it and it will eventually fade away
Can I ask how long you had it? I have had feelings of unreality for a bit more than ten years, and I have this fear that I'm stuck with it because it has only gotten worse even though my anxiety got much better.
I been looking for answers for a long time! I’m glad I found you! My anxiety got so bad after I got COVID. To hear that there is a way to get better of these feelings and worries I have every day definitely has made my day! Thank you so much! Thank you!!!!
So glad it was helpful Gerardo! 😊😊
Thank you so much for this video i finally felt like someone understands me . Its so hard living with this

I can’t explain how much stress I just exhaled watching this😭 I’ve been through hell the past two months with this...
Glad it was helpful Brea 😊
Same here! This video has helped me realise I’m not going crazy, cause that’s how it feels. I’ve been through a lot but this is definitely the most horrible and terrifying experience, maybe because I’m afraid of mental illnesses in general and so it probably triggers even more anxiety 😥 are you feeling any better?
Me too
How are you know brea
Same but it’s been 2 years for me n the doctors think it’s clinical depression :\
when i felt this way my mom said it’s bc of my “phone”😭
Same
My mom said it’s cuz I smoke weed and I’m getting psychosis
@@nisseerickson7412 true weed can trigger it
Omg no 😭 but there is some true in it a little bit because when you are on the phone too long it's not good for dpr dr, ofc it doesn't cause this disorder but it can be a little bit triggering

hey everyone. i wanted to come back to this video because i have finally beat this. i still have anxiety here and there, but i don’t feel this depersonalization at all anymore. i want all of you to know there is hope. and one thing that’s important, is to know that this is temporary, and it’s not stopping you from living the EXACT same way you were before. try to limit your focus on it, take your mind off it, you guys got this. i love you guys.
Thanks Patrick, so glad to hear you're recovered! 😊

I had no idea that anybody experienced this but me. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this video helped me.
So glad it was helpful Audrey! ❤️
Wait you said warping? As if you were tripping on acid?? I’ve done acid and other stuff and have recently quit weed. I swear I was tripping the other day staring at my phone and saw the screen warping. I didn’t know if it was real or not and was like wtff is going on.

Don't cry. I'm in the same boat as you! I'm trying to help myself by having a extremely high level of consciousness and keeping telling myself that I'm just through a very "pitch black tunnel" that I should keep walking because the light is near! I know is easy to say than done, but everything will pass, just keep repeating to yourself "that this won't last long" :-) God be with you!

O my days!!! This video man!!! 👏👏👏 so well put together and reassuring
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Thanks for making this video! I’ve been dealing with Dp and anxiety for about 4 months and this helps a ton!
Glad I could help! 😊😊 And don't worry, it doesn't matter what caused it or how long you've had it, 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/
So am I I experience it really bad but I'm here if u need to talk I know it's scary Im going through it right now
10. Feeling cut off from reality
9. Feeling like you’re not real
8. Fear of going insane
7. Vision problems (includes “floaters” or tracers)
6. Distorted perception of time
5. Memory loss
4. Emotional numbness
3. Blank mind - feeling like you’ve lost your inner monologue
2. Existential/intrusive thought
1. Strange fears
Has anyone experienced dizziness with this condition?
@@darrend2035 Yes I experience dizziness and I have these all symptoms.. I also have fear that people are always gonna hurt me or kill me.. I'm very scared at nights.. I can't stay awake for long because I fear darkness and always feels like there is something scary here.. I cried so bad once because that was so scary.. is this the part of depersonalization too?

@@darrend2035 YES! It coincides with DP for me.
Hey guys I commented about 3 months ago and just wanted to say I’m doing slightly better and I believe I will improve and come out of it
2 main things I’ve noticed and wanted to share . Your sub occipital muscles may be chronically contracted from obsessive fear and intense anxiety/ panic
( theses muscles in between rear upper neck and back of skull)
These can get very tight and constrict communication with the body and brain
Try massaging, pressure point what ever you can do to relax and try to reset the muscles
It seems to take TIME .
Also try to relax and pray more
I know in the heat of it it hard to hear this but you must forgive yourself, let go and try to embrace the calmness
I watched this video in tears because I've never felt more understood. I get these symptoms very occasionally when I am reminded of my trauma and every time it makes me feel like I have made no progress. But this video really helped me put everything into perspective, and gave me the tools to say 'this is normal', 'it will end', 'I am still me'. So, I'm sure you get this a lot but thank you so so much.
You're very welcome, I'm so glad to hear it was helpful 😊
me to, my brain is so sore.ive lost so mich and i had a breakdown 19 month ago.i get agitated and my body is aching so much.i dont feel real anymore, i go ok-ish for a day or 2 then it creeps back in x

Great video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it! 😊
Hey guys!! I suffered from dp/dr for two months last year. I had all these symptoms. I listened to one of his videos and I took active action to get myself out of that state and it worked. Just keep telling yourself "It is temporary. It will go away" I swear to you, life will return to normal again. You might have PTSD but you get over that too. You will be fine. There is nothing wrong with you and you will not stay this way forever. I dont care if you took 10000 hits from a bong or got your dp/dr in a more "natural" way. Its all an illusion of the mind. I am completely normal and completely happy. Goodluck loves💕
Glad to hear you're fully recovered! 😊😊

@@assilepretty5230 You're welcome! 😊
does anyone else feel like when your having an “episode” you are only able to focus on one thing that is happening in the room and can struggle to remember anything that happened after?
Yeah that’s a part of it, I get the same way and when people are talking it’s almost like I can’t hear them or they are speaking gibberish haha
Same.
I just can't focus on anything and listen to music to try and get through the days
Yes, exactly that.
I am grateful for coming across this video. I was diagnosed with panic disorder and general anxiety disorder. However, you nailed every point on the head for my symptoms with the topic of depersionalization. From the fear of going crazy, to the fear of traveling, (being stuck in a plane and going to a place unknown) and the strange fear of looking into the sky. I have an appointment for CBT therapy but I am also going to purchase your DP manual. I have been suffering for over 10 years, it is nice to have hope that I will feel normal again one day, and to get back to living life to the fullest!

@@thatguy6458 I’d say so. I feel comfortable in the world again. I’m not scared anymore. I do have these occasional existential thoughts I got from the experience, but I’ve always dealt with thoughts of existence.
My best advice would be to accept those thoughts and know they don’t define you nor make your crazy. It’s okey. It does take time though, just never give up and trust you are safe like you trust your lungs to breathe without you doing it manually. Nothing will happen if you let your guard down and relax. Just do it at your own pace, and you’ll see progress.

This is the most in depth and helpful video I've seen on this topic. I feel sooooo much better listening to all this. Never heard the vision disturbances, emotional numbness mentioned with this disorder, I feel relieved. It's a very isolating thing to have and makes you think there's something very wrong with you but you saying the opposite is something I've never heard explained how you have, I'll be thinking of this next time I get the depersonalization feeling.
Thanks Amanda, I'm very glad it was so helpful 😊
Thank you so so much … this has made me feel an overwhelming sense of relief ❤
So glad it was helpful! 😊
hi guys i'm coming back on this video just let to you know that i'm 95% healed from it, it's my second time experiencing dp/dr and i'm telling you only time can heal it, i've tried everything i literally thought i was going crazy i went to the closest psychiatric hospital lol but honestly guys don't be scared i know it's the worst feeling ever i had all kinds of intrusive thoughts and i literally thought i was going insane but i'm telling you just distract yourself like he's saying and time will heal! I was there, i couldn't go out sleeping at 7pm and waking up at 4am and as soon i was waking up the thoughts came back it was horrible, i can say now that im 95% because the only thing left is sometimes the intrusive thoughts but it only happened few months ago so im telling you just wait and distract t yourself the most u can and it will slowly become chill it's just anxiety at the end you'll be fine! good luck to everyone remember that you're way stronger than that it's just thoughts and feelings don't associate yourself to it, good luck guys love y'all 🤍
Delighted to hear you're doing so well! 😊
I cried through this whole video, and even harder when it was done. I can't explain why, But it's a relief to know I'm not going crazy. I just want to feel ok..

but after watching this video and realizing that there are lots of ppl going through the same thing, that really soothed me so much.
now I know the reason behind this terrifying feeling is anxiety, yes, I've been feeling anxiety and depression and loneliness, emptiness for many years. it's like my mind is telling me to stop!

This is such an informative video. Thank you so much. 💜
Happy to help 😊😊
My first time suffering a strong episode, I thought I was going into psychosis. It was the most terrifying experience of my life.
Same here man, i ended up getting a taxi at 1am to A&E as i thought i was about to go completely insane and do something horrible. Once i was there in the waiting room i felt better almost instantly, which kinda proves it is all in the mind, a trick. Absolutely terrifying though
@Sai suman Bhuyan I’m fine now for the most part. It took me a while to recover fully; I had to start seeing a psychiatrist again and go back on medication for anxiety. I found my anxiety during the episodes only heightened the whole experience so that was the first step. I was also given xanax for really really strong episodes(thankfully I only ever had to take one of those). Once I managed to control the anxiety portion of my episodes, it was a learning curve to understanding what works best for me on reconnecting my brain back to reality. There are various coping mechanisms that work for different people, like reading out loud.
Hands down, this is the best depersonalization disctription I've ever come across.... It's a very weird thing to experience. I am truly thankful for this video...
So glad it was helpful Sheila! 😊😊
I have to agree, I've been dealing with this for a couple months, especially thr time distortion thing which I've never seen anyone talk about and thought maybe I was gling crazy after a bad lsd trip, but thid video really helped calm my fears down
Thank you for saving my life time and time again over the past year I have revisited this video. You truly have given me so much comfort.
You are so welcome! 😊
currently fighting through a dp episode right now but it's genuinely so comforting to hear what's actually going on is just defense and not me losing my mind lol
I've been struggling with thinking that I will never amount to anything and that all of my dreams and ambitious are futile
to work on this, I not only actively work on skills to get to my goals but I also listen to subliminals to help in addition to my hard work but sometime yesterday I lost my sense of reality between thinking of what I could be and what I want to be causing me to spiral again
the weirdest part of this episode however is the only clear memory I have of today is the exact moment when the subliminals became too much
where I can feel myself feeling so confident right before I started seeing random shapes, objects, and images of me as if I was in a tv show (I get those visions a lot, there fun until I start only "seeing" in third person idk how to explain it)
thank you so much for this video I never knew that just knowing that symptoms that I struggle with regularly are genuinely symptoms and not just me going insane is so nice to hear
thank you so much for this video!!
So glad to hear the video was helpful! 😊 And read this article too, I think you'll find it very useful: www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-three-reasons-youre-not-going-crazy-2/
I have never related more to a video than this. Thank you
So glad it was helpful! 😊👍
Exactly was i was thinking!! When he brought up the existential thoughts, that's when I was like okay he has officially described my life.
@Tanner Kelbert Yeah guys don't worry, sleeping deprivation will be a consequence of this, in fact, i was only able to sleep 9 hours straight after 4 months in, the first week i slept 3 hours a night... Don't worry, your sleep patterns will come back to normal eventually, wish you all the best
Rendi is my favorite post Malone look alike scaper
RENDI NO WAY YOU'RE HERE TOO!!! You doing alright man?
I’m 17 and the trip hit me like a brick wall and it was the most terrifying experience, I’m on my journey back to my old self and look at this weird period of your life as a blessing, you see your life with some sort of blur and use this to learn about who you are, no matter what happens you are still you. We will do this
That why I’m here
i'm here due to that too. did u fully recover? how long does it take?
Hey man, I’ve learnt quite a lot whilst having this, I’m still in the thick of it rn, have you recovered and if so how?
Love that answer champ
17 year old cheers me up
I’m 17 too bro, struggling but thanks for this
Thankyou for making this video it has helped me and a lot more people who feel like this
Glad it was helpful 😊😊
Excellent description of DP. I wish you had been around many years ago when I suffered from this horror. I finally learned to relax and the DP evaporated. Thankfully.
Glad it was helpful and that you've recovered! 😊
Wow, how refreshing to see someone going to this effort to actually help people without financial motive.
Ermmmm, did you check his video description? Well obviously he is coming from a good place and he made an amazing free video, but he also has a book to sell. Which is totally fine btw.
@@josephsaff sure, just remind me how much it cost you to watch this video and take in this advice (which is golden for dpdr sufferers)
Just reading these comments is helping me right now, I feel like I am having a mental break. Thank you
Glad to hear it Desiree! 😊😊
This video is amazing , God Bless You Jesus Loves !
I agree, I’ve been thinking I’m going through a psychotic episode and need to check myself into a facility. The existential thoughts are the worst for me. The world looks off, like it’s a stage. The objects aren’t real and I think of myself and I get light headed. It’s been almost 3 weeks and this is the worst experience of my life. It feels.
This video has been so enlightening and helpful, I started getting DP around 2 months ago and it's wrecked my daily mood and productivity. Bless you, dude.
Glad it was helpful! 😊😊
How are you now ?
Oh my goodness I've been looking for the name of what I have been going through for years. I feel so blessed to have found it! Thank for your video!
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Anyone else feel like you can’t remember how you felt, thought and acted before you smoked weed and now you’re stuck with DP? I’ve come to the conclusion I am thinking normally and was overthinking whilst I had depersonalisation, I’m pretty sure it’s gone away for me now.
That's a very common thought with all anxiety-based conditions, it's a psychological phenomenon called state-dependent memory. But don't worry, once you've recovered you will get completely back to normal 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/what-does-depersonalization-recovery-feel-like/
how did you deal with the trauma from your weed incident? Do I just try to not think about my weed incident or do I have to actively try to think about my traumatic experience on weed? Will it eventually just subconsciously process into my brain without me knowing it? Or do I actively have to wrestle with the thoughts of the bad weed experience?
Same, I can't remember who I was. Everyone tells me I've changed, but I don't know in what way.
How long did it last I’m tripping balls
Yes the anxiety part not sure abt a eye floater
When I expierenced this I thought I was going insane or something and all I did was look up “psychosis” “scizophrenia” I was just afraid and had great fear that I was possible of having one of these but after watching this video I definetly feel better
Glad to hear the video was helpful Stephanie! 😊 And check out this article, you might find it useful: www.dpmanual.com/articles/schizophrenia_cancer_depersonalization/
