Hi shaun. Is it normal for me fear the feelings depersonalization. For this is what causes it

Suffered from a cycle of DP/DR for 2 years now-at one point I was nearly recovered before having another panic attack a few weeks ago, which felt like a huge set back. I just want to say that this was powerful and motivating. Thank you, Sean. It’s time for me to get back to work ♥️

But i have a question? did you fully recover or do you still have sometimes symptoms again?

Can someone tell me what underlying anxiety did marianne had?

39:28 - 40:40 oh boy, describing my experience so accurately...

Some of the greatest philosophers, authors of all time we're existentialists. It's good to think long and hard about. Let's say how something like a dog or cat could even possibly exist. Because then you'll soon realize that evolution is a total lie

Hi I wondering if my situation could relate to others. I had my first episode of depersonalization for a few months when I was about 10, that passed and I got it quite bad again during my school exams at age 15. That went on for a few months but It gradually got better. Perhaps the fact that I was in school kinda kept me distracted at times enough to somewhat recover. I’m now 22 and get short bouts of depersonalization here a there but not bad at all. The problem is that the one thing I’ve been dealing with constantly for the last 5-7 years is a lack of emotions. Also an empty mind, I hardly hear any thoughts in my head. I’ve recently done 3 months as an inpatient in a mental health hospital because as Marianne experienced, I was coming around the fact that without my emotions, life had lost all meaning. Unfortunately I have come out the same as I went it. I’m now wondering if the numbness is the one thing that stuck around for my bad bouts of depersonalization when I was 15. Like Marianne I went to a couple psychiatrists who told me I was anhedonic due to depression but I was like ‘I’m not depressed though’. I can get through my day okay I just can’t connect with any of my emotions. Which does in ways make life hard to get through in its own way. Is there something I should be working on. Perhaps really committing to more behavior activation and doing more activities? Perhaps that will gradually draw out my emotions? The difference between me and Marianne being that for me it’s been many years since I’ve properly been connected with my emotions and similarly years since the main other major depersonalization symptoms have passed. Side note: Also sucks that mental health professionals in my experience know very little about depersonalization. I mentioned it multiple times to all the Doctors that were working with me during my inpatient stay and they never really asked more about my experince with depersonalization. Excuse the long message. Thanks if you read it.

Exactly what I went through

he keeps talking about doing the "right things" what in the world are the "right things" this can only be helpful if you actually explain the "right things" how is this video helping anyone

Thank you for the videos and advice. Greetings from Poland

love you little guy <3

I didn’t even realize stopping marijuana after being an every day user for years could cause this type of withdrawal. I stopped using it because I started having extreme anxiety attacks. I went to the ER and everything because my muscle were beginning to spasm while I slept. I was terrified. I called my therapist and she told me since I have an anxious brain already…just stopping made the panic worse. Thank Goodness I found this channel. I honestly thought I was going to have to end my life. 😢

Idk if I even have it in kinda scared if it's not Dpdr bc I feel like like is like kinda fake but I know it real idk how to explain it

Bro I recently got panic attack from marijuana, ever since my minds not feeling well I'm imagining any kind of symtoms. Can I recover from it without medication ?

I suffered for 19 days . Your videos helped me. I won’t even wish this for my worst enemy 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤮🤮

In and out of the reality cloud

I also first got it from weed. It was terrifying. I thought I was either dying or dead and in hell. I was shaking, crying it was just terrible. Then a couple years ago I started having heart palpatations and chest pain, turns out I was having a panic attack and I got DR again for two months. It went away for a little over two years and now its back. Im trying my best to just ignore it and hope it goes away soon

I feel the same way. I’ve always been a very caring person but I’ve been in derealization for almost 3 years and I struggle to care about exactly what this guy talked about. And that scares me. Thank you for posting this

I have that shit for So long, and become more worse, i haved panic attacks and more scared toughts, to my job, home, out, with friends ,everything this things followed me and didnt let me enioy my moments, indont know what Im supposed to do, your video is helpful, but i dont know what to Say… everytime i had a panic atack, this disorder become more advanced.. Im always tired and i want to sleep, before i was In relationship i had dpdr but this wasnt that bad, i feeled Ok with that and this doesnt maked me to think a lot about it and it didnt Affect me that much, but stayed focused once at something else to recover from that Little symptom, and it worked, and i was able to handle it and recover , but Now its something more different and powerful ,i cant stay No more focused. Its hard, cant Find a way out !

1 year of dpdr 🎉🎉

Hey Shaun. Question if you don’t mind I’ve found your book really helpful but there is one symptom that bugs me and my anxiety latches on to and tells me is something different - it being anhedonia or emotional numbing. I just don’t feel the pleasure or excitement from things like I used to. Is this normal for DPDR?

Is a “quieter” inner voice common with this. I feel as thought my thoughts are much quieter

Hey, question; you are saying that is important to think about other thinks, and not to focus on dpdr, en then it will slowly go away, and eventually like it never happened. But when you make your videos, you think all the time about dpdr when talking about it right? Don’t you ever have that same feeling again? After you’ve recovered?

I grew up in a super dysfunctional environment and I can relate to this guys early experiences so much! The funny thing is when I was a kid it wasn't scary to me. It wasn't until I was an adult and started questioning everything that I started to wig out. Combine that with a bad drug experience and all the sudden "normal" became a psychotic break (in my mind).

does anyone have it where they feel on edge more when making eye contact with people? or when driving you feel like your reactions are slightly more delayed & you feel more jumpy

Feel like im in 3rd person

Shaun please reply me loss of appetite is also a symptom 😭

This is really helpful, I have been experiencing this for 2 straight years and the reason was right infront of me I was just afraid of it and used to overthink about everything and every little and meaningless thing that made it even worse rather than helping me overcome it or help me figure out how to get rid of it. Once I stopped the worrying and overthinking it faded away so quickly and now I am able to feel things as before.

Your doing something sinful and god is punishing you most times it’s either drugs or alcahol or sex and masterbation those things kill the spirit and get you punished repent and follow god

Im not sure if you’ll see this but can I still smoke even thought I’ve had depersonalization bc I’ve had many episodes after smoking weed

This is the most difficult symptom for me

I had the exact same mindset. But since I started following Shaun's Manual. I came a long way. You need to be strict with yourself and commit. Other than his material, and recovery stories posted by him. Stay away from all other source materials. You may not like or get terrified and start comparing and that I'd absolutely one of the worst things you can do

But can i drink Non Alcoholic beer with limonade? And does it increase dopamine drinking non alcoholic beer?

Never smoke again 😂

The thing with me id thay i dont fear the feeling of depersonalization itself, but i fear it not going away and this causes me to have dp, does this mean i have depersonalization disorder?

how can I not think about the DP/DR distracting myself, if I no longer care about anything about my life, because before entering it I had some bad news that I already couldn't get over and it brought me anxiety, and it had already created a depression in me I wasn't interested in anything anymore, and in this state I smoked a joint for the first time which made me enter the DP, now I've been in it for a month how can I not think about it if I no longer have anything to distract me since I don't I don't care about anything, and this feeling of zeroing out the emotions of DP doesn't make me face the cause of my depression before smoking, am I stuck like this?? How can I do it? Should I try to resolve the cause of the depression first and then go back to not thinking about the PD and making it disappear?? Thank you

一开始还是有负面情绪的(包括负罪感，道德感)，后来为了治疗抑郁症，吃五羟色胺药物，导致失去了负面情绪，道德感，负罪感等

This is the second time having the dpdr it came about after lighting up a blunt i got so high and started stressing out and now i have dpdr for almost a month now..but wen you try to keep ur mind busy and just feel good about it and recieve it, leave with it and it starts to run away on its own i discovered that it doesnt grow bigger than it is so i just do my normal routins and in this last week i feelit escaping my head ...its quite an experience but i tell you u are strong if u going through it uswell u can fight anything in life🙏quick recovery to us all you are not alone..............

idk i sometimes get Existential anxiety fr and also everything feels weird outside and i feel lost and scared, very strange

called out on the first one i was hesitant to think I had this because i did not have the memory loss and every video really emphasises you must have memory loss. I don't necessarily have it now while I am still somewhat dissociated but I probably did have it for like 10 years. Also I only would of had depersonlization not derealization.

It feels as though my conciousness is the only thing that exists and sometimes I feel claustrophobic in my own body. I get this urge to want to get out of my body. Other times I feel uncomfortable just for existing.
