2.5 yrs with with dpdr with so many physical symptoms started after major panic attack. Ive had probably 50 physical symtoms. Ive been to lyme drs., had pic lines, Naturepath drs, neurologist, eye drs, lumbar punctures, anitdepressants, ketamaine therapy, so many trys to feel normal better. Im about 3-4 weeks into doing the dpdr manual. Praying to God that it allows me exit from this hell.
Hi Shaun I have been 3 months DPDR free and I get back to normal life, I just want to say that you saved my life quality and make me feel love about every simple thing that life has. I would like to participate in this interviews you do to help people to get out of it and tell my story. Greetings!
3rd time with dpdr and it hasn’t been the worst but most definitely the longest. 4.5 months straight I’m not scared any more I’m just really frustrated of the fact that it really affects my day to day and I have so much to do with my life.
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 have depersonalization for 15 years and i dont know what to do.i am from islamic republic of iran.I have really bad pain and i really dont know what to do
I first got it in 2001. I’ve got used to it now, but I do feel happy and get on with life, but it did ruin alot of my life. Follow everything this guy says, distraction and anti anxiety medication all work and it will go x
Hey shaun, I want to know if my approach on dpdr thoughts is good or what could I do to sharpen it. When the thoughts come up I acknowledge them, know that it’s there but I don’t engage any further and just let it sit and eventually i think different thoughts.
Going through this process right now. I have ocd and it developed to Depersonalization, this is very exhausting but I’ve taken the step to recover. Seeing this people have inspired me. So I’ll try my best down this journey. Hope this manual helps me through this 🤍

I have a question. I feel like im far in my recovery, how do I know if im really far or not? I only have Brain fog and Vision Problems by now (recovering since 3 months) and my eye doctor said I have a myopia on one eye but im pretty sure I did not have that before dpdr. So now one eye sees blurry and while Im recovering im not Sure if im recovered due to im not sure if the eye was maybe Even Blurry before dpdr and I will maybe never know if im recovered ?🙈🙈🙈😢😢

I am facing chronophobia with my dpdr. i mean, time just passing by constantly feels terrifying. the concept of time feels overwhelming. also i feel like i am fearing my own existence. i dont really know how to explain my feelings into words but i just don't feel "normal" anymore. is it a normal symptom and does this go away?

@@jimmysimplelivin I genuinely think you just have to reconnect with yourself, go into a room sit there for 30 min and examine each and every single object down to the tee from an engineering standpoint ( how it built what its made from). If you havent given dpdr power and acknowledged it at all it really could be your brain just playing tricks on 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 am afraid of activities/places and/or duration of activities because they seem to activate/make DP worse. Can you please explain this?😢I have to avoid basically everything... Screens, working out, socialize etc...
Face your fears and go into the environment you’re scared of being in. Dpdr is to protect your brain and give it a break. Don’t fight it instead let it be and let it run its course you cannot logic your way out of it, don’t struggle and accept.
I think i have stuck in the loop of constant checking myself if i’m feeling better or if i’m real and i feel like if i don’t check or think about dp/ dr i will never know if i’m recovered🤷🏻♀️
Hello Shaun! I have this weird symptom that is like dream flashbacks or memory flashbacks, is like my brain suddenly brings up images without context or I feel like I'm somewhere else. I can't find anyone who feels the same and it's blocking me a little. I already have your book and I'm working on it!
Don’t worry Cynthia, intrusive thoughts like that are super common with DPDR. I know they can be frustrating and frightening but they are also temporary and harmless and will fade away and stop as your recovery continues 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-fears-and-anxious-thoughts/
Shaun it’s been a year and a half since I developed dpdr. I feel like losing hope. I’m in a very bad situation. Every day is a struggle. I don’t know what to do. I would rather die than to live with this cruel condition 😞. I feel like i will never go back to normal.
thats the cycle of how dpdr works. You are worried about "input symptom here" and the brain wonders how to get rid of it. When you cant figure out a way out you keep the cycle going. The way to recover is to accept what is happening for what it is. A sensitive nervous system. Everybody goes through trauma, everybody has been depressed, everybody has had difficult times in their lives. The way to recovery is to not victim blame and to move forward. No matter how hard it feels. No matter how useless it feels. Feelings are just feelings, you have the ability to do and move forward a little bit at a time. Every day a little bit better. This is simply an issue of fear of the unknown and we get better by exposing ourselves to the things we are most afraid of. Theres nothing wrong with being depressed, the body is just exhausted and you are rushing it to get better. How mad would you feel if you were super tired and someone was forcing you to work out every single day no matter how tired you felt? Its basically the same thing.
Since DPDR puts you into a dissociative state. Is it possible that I’ve been convinced myself of all sorts of things all the time? Is it possible that I’ve hypnotized myself out of enjoying my interests? Just a random thought that popped into my head, since I feel so different every single day. It’s so hard not to follow these thought rabbit holes. I know I’m not supposed to keep looking things up all the time, to keep looking into things all the time, but I’m scared that I don’t know how to undo this whole mess. I know it’s all just anxiety covering everything else up, or something like that, but even when I’m calm I don’t feel right. This just… blanket of wrongness over everything. I’m scared that I’ll never be the person I was a mere few weeks ago. I just want my life back. I don’t know if I’m depressed, going through autistic burn out, going crazy, becoming another person, feeling broken, lost my personality, having memory issues, or what.
Hi Shaun...how can we know if the symptoms are not due to a brain cancer os something like that and that's purely a side effect of anxiety? Youve mentioned that you also had this problem of thinking that you had a brain disease. How did you fet over that?
Hi Shaun. I have been experiencing dpdr, the constant thought I have at the moment is that I don't love my partner and don't want to be with him anymore. However this couldn't be further from the truth. It's on my mind constantly and I can't stop the thoughts. It's making me feel uncomfortable around him and so anxious for him to come home. How do I deal with this? Any tips for me. Saving up money to buy your book. Thanks
Even looking at his face doesn't seem real. He doesn't look right in my mind. Even though I know who he is, we've been together for 6 years. I feel so detached
I would drive up to the ocean at night and I would get a little freaked out and panicky because of how big the ocean is and I would say to myself "holy shit were just these tiny being on this giant ball" and one day I was sitting in my room and derealization and I have it now for like 3 months. I also got it a couple years ago for a few months after a very stressful period in my life
