Shaun is normal to have problem with constant ruminating in anxiety because it’s hard to not engaged with the thoughts

Honestly these videos are so inspiring! I’ve been feeling the symptoms of DPDR for almost a year and half now, and it’s been so persistent in that time. I’ve not had a diagnosis, but what you guys are saying is exactly how I’m feeling; you can’t believe the relief I feel knowing I’m not alone in this and that it might get better :)

I had this at 12 for years . some how went away and then came back

🙏

Do you know if depersonalization is the same as derealisation? Or are they different?

I have a fear of depthy places, DPDR still exists, and I am very afraid

Thank you so much! I've had no idea for the better part of 12 years on what I had. I thought it was Agoraphobia or some untreatable diagnosis or disorder. Earlier this year, I smoked a weed pen which caused DP/DR and I said enough was enough. I hit the gym six days a week, lost 50 lbs, meditate every single day, I eat so much healthier, I drank and currently drink a lot less alcohol. This was all without truly knowing what I had. I read Hope and Help for your Nerves for panic attacks and Atomic Habits to get on a healthy daily regimen and those assisted me immensely. About 10 days ago, during the American Election, I had one of the worst episodes of DP/DR, I felt like nothing was real, that I was in a dream, that my eyes weren't working, I was dying, in a coma, needed to wake up etc. I have done so much work this past year and grew so much and that was without the knowledge or not truly understanding what DP/DR is. I'm still learning about the two and their differences, which I may have, but this video and both of your journeys were as close to a 1:1 to my experiences as it can get. Thank You both so much! My question to you or anyone recovered would be, how do you deal with it when it comes back in a flash, almost without you realizing it? I know for the most part when it does come, but if I'm driving, going for runs or walks, traveling to places etc. Sometimes I can walk out the door no problem, other times it feels like gravity has changed. It sometimes hits before I can make the proper decision. At that point it feels like I'm clinging on to any bit of information I can remember in that moment to reassure myself. I'm excited to read Shaun's articles as well as purchase the manual. Thanks again Shaun and Thank you Sam for the incredible insight! It's good to know that I'm not alone and never was or will be

hello Shaan. thank you for your Manual. i have a question regarding recovery stories... can we watch recovery stories like once a day. is it something positive or negative and considered the same as anxiety platforms.

Hey Shaun, thank you for posting these videos! I’m doing worlds better and absolutely living my life as normal, but most days I still can’t shake the “dead” feeling inside if that makes sense. I wouldn’t say I’m totally emotionally numb, but like 50% numb compared to my true self. Plus the pane of glass feeling. Proud of how far I’ve come but still holding onto the fear that this is it and I’ve reached the end of my recovery 😢

i start to fear open spaces and watching the sky is it part of dpdr

Same exact thing happened to me, only that was 35 years ago and there were no ways to therapy instead I was given lithium. I always thought I was going crazy feeling out of body and not recognizing my environment

how to make it stop

how to overcome it

I can stay with thia

I nees helo plis

Why I been feeling like I can’t control my body? Is it normal to feel like that even when I text it feel wried

Ive been dealing with this almost two years.

Your on point that crazy

would you ever accept a testament from someone still suffering? i haven't recovered but i was diagnosed with dpdr and i think it would be cool to let people know that you can still improve your mental state and livelihood whilst still being in the battlefield :p

holy fuck you mightve.... just saved my life

Could you please make a video like those that are directed to children. My son is 11 years old and have this since 3 years ago. #Depetsonalization Manual

Derealisation has been so tough for me. At some point i thought the way out of it must be finding an answer to the existential question 'how do we know the external world really exists?'. So i searched through a lot of philosophy and found that this is a big question in philosophy that various people have tried to offer answers to, but ultimately, it can't be answered to a certainty - ie it's logically possible that it's a Matrix scenario or a deceiving demon scenario etc. So even when we have a 'real-world explanation' for how derealisation works - it's still possible that all that stuff is also part of the Matrix/ illusion etc. So while it's true that just because the external world doesn't seem/feel real, that doesn't mean that it's not, the flip side of that coin is 'just because there are times when the external world explanation makes sense and feels real, that doesn't mean it really is - it could all still be part of the illusion'. As much as i try and implement things that should aid recovery, that nagging existential question (and the terror and despair it involves) seem impossible to overcome. I wish i could hear people talk about struggling in that same way but yet who have found a way to overcome the problem.

The tactile sensation delay, feeling that things don't have distinct edges and surfaces but feel like a weird tingly blur.. This is one of my most loathed symptoms because it makes such a strong impression on me that maybe the external world isn't really real. The idea the world could be an illusion by a deceiving demon... When out of nowhere things start feeling so weird to touch like the world isn't as solid and defined as you want it to be - that is really difficult to cope with. I also haven't seen others mention this symptom.

It’s the worse thing you could ever imagine but when it’s over you appreciate life so much more

6:30 felt actually pretty comforting to hear. I had a really bad trip on like 11 grams of mushrooms a few months back that from around 5 am till noon when I managed to finally fall asleep I truly believed I gave myself Schizophrenia and I ruined my life. For a good few weeks after that I would get extremely paranoid for the smallest things and even thinking the word crazy would make me feel so unwell and scared. While I don’t think I had DP because once I woke up I always felt “real”, it was the biggest/only “traumatic” experience of my life and I never really thought of it like that for some reason, I was stuck in a living hell for 7 hours hearing, seeing, and feeling things worse then I could have imagined before that night, it makes sense that there is a little bit of trauma there that might have taken a few weeks to rationalize and get over

❤❤❤❤❤Thank you very much

When I'm distracted i try to go back to normal which mean its that state of discostive mind, so its so hard I'm in a constat circle

Please keep making these videos, I can't tell you how much it helps 💘 The presence of people like you heals thousands of people ❤

You are unbelievable for helping us! Thank you Shawn ❤️

Dp manual is what has been keeping going. Sometimes my most scariest symptoms is being disconnected from myself . I speak and it feels like those words are not coming from me. I hop one day i will give my testimony here. Saun may God bless you

I am from Pakistan and i cannot understand English but if we can open a urdu translation he help to am understand your video

Sorry you had to go through that brother, I went through the same shit cuz of weed. A year ago, it happened to me. And now I beat it. No more DP BS. Congratulations on you picking yourself off of the ground and out of the quagmire.

I’m now on the better end of my DP recovery. just a couple of months ago I was depressed, chronically anxious and had those “split second” dp episodes multiple times a day, I had stress induced tinitus, chronic feelings of disconection, I couldn’t listen to music and was petrified of just about everything. My DP was crushing and I was truely broken. I previously suffered from DP in 2019 for about 6 months before I made a 100000% recovery. (Both were triggered by weed) But now I am enjoying my life every day. My final step is to leave my association with DP behind (like I did last time), my connection with those thoughts and worries are doing me no justice whatsoever, and when I do let go, I am truely free. Believe me, if I can get better, anyone can. And if you can get on top of 1 symptom or fear, you can get on top of all of it. You will recover!! We are all in this together. And remember, this adversity we are facing will become the bedrock of our mental fortitude to take forward in our lives. I believe in everyone of you and I love you all. Shaun, I would love to speak with you one day in a recovery story, you are a true hero. ps buy the manual, its worth every cent Love from 🇦🇺

You're a life savior! You described my experience 😊

Hi Shaun! After 2 weeks of reading your manual i am feeling progress. But i have a question. When i do instructions i dont feel dp symptoms. But i need to go to market or to toilet for example, in these situations dp comes to me and it seems destroying all my work. What to do in these siyuations?

ive smoked a couple of times and one time i smoked the next day i started to feel symptoms of dpdr even tho i didnt have a panic attack and i was really chill, do you know why

Anyone else feel like their brain dosent work the same? Like your brain can’t comprehend what your eyes are seeing? Please tell me it’s all in my head.

To people reading this - it gets better even tho you may feel as if you are stuck.. Trust me

I haven't smoked in a few months but I used to smoke a lot while being on an ssri. I've been getting really bad depersonalization since I stopped and it's getting worse lately. Almost a constant feeling of being high but more like a panic attack, and throughout the day if I even think too much I start tweaking, having a hard time organizing my thoughts and I get deja vu. I'm sober and working w a psychiatrist now, but I'm just scared that this feeling will never go away and that I fucked up my brain
