I feel like I'm trapped inside my body or mind. I feel stuck and I can't interact with my body or the environment. When I realize this, I get scared. Also, the concept of consciousness scares me. Has anyone experienced this? Is this normal?

Anyone with DPDR experience constant dizziness? My doctors don't seem to understand the connection between dizziness and this disorder. (100% it is connected). I'm forever stuck in it and can't get out.

My source is social aspects so whenever around people I have it so its always there

Exactly how I am.

I have had it for five years

I have had it for five years

Hi Shaun, I'm so discouraged that it feels like I don't even have the desire to get back to normal. is this normal? 🥲, it's like I just feel sadness. And for example, my dream is to be a millionaire, for me there is no point in chasing it. Is this normal?

This is happening to me and I feel lost sometimes because it makes me feel even more unreal when I can’t react to stuff

Hello shaun! I think my dp is weird because i feel like i dont like seeing in first person view like we all see and that will scare me and i cant do nothing about it because thats how we all see and ive seen for the rest of my life and like how could i do it.does this go away

Shaun, please clear my doubts. I'm in the recovery process, but one thing that bothers me is that I don't have the desire to do the things I love, my dreams don't make sense. Like, it doesn't make sense for me to follow my dreams. I can't be happy. Is this normal?? Thank you very much Shaun you were the light in my life. Brazilian greetings

I just wanted to say, thank you Jesus, I overcame Depersonalization and Derealization, my life returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. If I and many others can do it, you will too, it's just a matter of time and perseverance, have discipline, value the small reliefs, on bad days be patient, nothing is permanent, it will pass, I promise!

I came here again after a few months, just to encourage you who are still facing DPDR, to tell you my testimony, to tell you that my life is different, I'm better than before, better than ever! I thought my life had come to an end, there were so many intense symptoms, I was afraid of losing myself forever, of having crossed a red line of no return, losing my life, my personality, my way of being, the little pleasures of life, and after a year the long-awaited cure came, you can completely trust my words and all these reports, I am standing, thank God, I would never have achieved it without my faith in Jesus, and with the tips from this angel called Shaun O'Connor. Follow the tips, each tip is a treasure clue to overcome depersonalization, this giant is smaller than we think, you will defeat him too. I wish you all peace and a good recovery, don't give up! From Brazil 🇧🇷

When he says about not wanting to go to work because his thought was “we all die anyways” and Shaun sent him articles to read. What were those articles? My existential anxiety gets so terrible. I am not fully recovered, but on my way thanks to these videos and the manual. I’ve gone through many set backs. It’s hard to overcome those!

Can it get so bad that u get episodes where u feel like u've genuinely lost touch with reality and have gone insane? I've had a panic attack a few days ago and I think it triggered DPDR, because I get these episodes where I feel like I'm out of my mind and can't process what's going on around me, and have trouble communicating with others during this because I feel so disconnected, it's really hard to explain and scary, thank u in advance and sorry if any of this doesn't make sense, it's hard to even think straight at this point.

I’ve been there It’s such a crazy feeling to think you are genuinely losing your mind. You don’t even know how to feel but insane

I've been having theese exact same questions.

Shaun..how would emotional connection change you? Is the problem that people having DPDR have just about basic human relating?

Will this every go away guys ? I’m 4 weeks in and nothing is getting better

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)

I’m 4 weeks into this and I’m trying my best. I have a cloudy vision and will that improve with time ?

Hi shaun, my all existential and intrusive thoughts are gone but anxious feeling is there, do i have to also focus away from those feelings

Shaun i wanna pay for the dpdr treatment but my question is will this help me

Hi Shaun, I’ve commented quite a few times on this channel when I was at my lowest. I can happily say I am finally seeing progress and having hours at a time with low to zero anxiety and dpdr. I imagine in the coming weeks I will make a complete recovery, and would love to share my story on the channel. I have had dpdr since 2020 with episodes lasting years, the most recent one being the worst symptom wise. Thank you again
