[@jacktierney1125]

16:00 is so relatable. Feeling like you know too much now to go back to normal. How can I just go on about my life when I have to worry about death and the universe etc. Those intrusive thoughts feel so reasonable and overbearing in the moment, but I’m hoping I will be able to look back and realize they were just anxious thoughts and nothing more.

[@Dpmanual]

Don’t worry Jack, existential / 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/

Literally. It blows my mind how petrified I was during it every damn day. It was a living hell. But after recovering I’m back to caring about tedious things like “when is my next coffee?”, “man, I really need to book that dentist appointment in already” and “damn you, guy who cut me off in traffic” .

Like right now as I’m writing this, I am like “ maybe you are righting this for fake reassurance that this is anxiety so you can move on under labeling it as anxiety when it is something big that you can’t move on from”.

[@joshhenchman9810]

Recovered 100% from my DP/DR about 8 and a half weeks ago. Had it for just over 3 months from a bad Pharmaceutical drug reaction. It sent me into crippling depression and anxiety and I ended up in the mental health ward desperate for help. Watching your videos in the mental health ward really gave me hope. Now 3 months since that, it’s crazy that my brain can barely even remember what it was like. Defs still recovering from some sort of PTSD from the event but wow, what a shake up of reality!

You are absolutely not going crazy. This is normal. It’s not the experience itself that causes this much trouble for this long. It’s the feelings of anxiety and confusion about the condition that replace our normal thoughts. Kind of like intrusive thoughts. Once you can prove to yourself that this feeling and thoughts don’t actually interviene with reality, you will recover.

[@dylanteet7074]

It’s like I know it’s anxiety but I can’t distract myself with video games or watching sports anymore because I literally can’t feel it like I could. I already had an anxiety problem before this came on so now I just can’t figure out how to control something that feels so ingrained in me. I already have meniers disease which makes this even more challenging and the fact I just found out my dad is dying. Im trying to start part time work but I have a panic attack trying to even go in because of my social anxiety which I had before all of this and now on top of DP. One of my worse symptoms of this disorder is looking at people and their mannerisms. It confuses me and I start to think how is it possible we even exist and we don’t make any sense. And peoples eyes terrify me too. Then I think about how I took life for granted before I got this disorder and how blessed I was ans I waited to long to change my life and I beg to be normal again, crying daily. This sucks really bad I can barley hang on. I’m only 28 and had a bright future.

This video was really uplifting. But a lot of videos I see don’t mention things like worrying about the universe and how massive it is… so I worry if it’s something worse that’s going on with me. And these thoughts of the universe really scares me. Like sometimes I think how we’re just on a ball (the planet) in the middle of nowhere; a vast empty space. And it really sets my panic off so much and I get so distressed. Or even looking at photos of stars or planets and being triggered. I never used to be like this until I had my own bad weed experience nearly two years ago.

[@denis9983]

Hello, I have been commenting for a while on your chanell and im doing it again because i wasnt expecting to see such a relatable video. I am the same age as him,currently 17 and i had the bad weed experience back in april(i was 16 at the time). Then having a huge panick attack the next day at home watching some youtube video and I remember telling my mom that i smoked some weed and i was going crazy. The panick attacks kept going on for the next day while i was at school and i was in a general state of panick all the time. So I discovered your channell and was in the same state of denial as he was, Just repeating that it wasnt DP therefore making ´myself afraid of it being Dp and going into a spiral of thoughts and emotions I couldn´t even begin to wrap my head around. Wasn´t being able to pay attention in school and constantly researshing what this could be. Going on reddit and all kinds of forums. Having the classic fear that this will last for 2 years thinking to myself"omg i cant go 5 days with this if i have to be like this for 2 years i will certainly lose my mind". Its like my life was just flipped from one moment to the other and i was crying a lot because it was just overwhealming. Eventually i reached a point where i was just done with this and accepted the fact that it is Dp, purchasing your manual in july. I have followed the rules in your book very strictly and am getting better each day. It is by all means a very slow process but i just keep one foot in front of the other and try not to look back. The reason I was back on your page after about 2 months of being completly away from anything dp related is because i had a very good 3/4 days. I was barely even thinking about it and when i would think about it I would just think that Im getting better and go on with my day. It was crazy how good I felt in relation to this. But today i woke up and for about 5 minutes I completly forgot about it, then a thought just hit me like a truck. Just thinking about it. So like you said "setbacks are a essential part of recovery" and i followed that all day. Feeling uneasy but keeping my head up. But as I was leaving the gym. Just intense anxiety came over me and I was kinda rude when i responded to my friends just because I was so mad it came back so strong. Then I came home and wasnt´t able to focus on the yt video I was watching. I kept trying to distract myself as I knew this was just a setback but I ended up here and i feel very guilty about it. But I guess i just have to keep going. Let me know if u have had any similar experience with setbacks like this.

Hey, thanks for your comment. 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 DPDR 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 👍

[@alyssasparacia]

Is it normal to get episodes of it? I’ve experienced what I think is Depersonalization Disorder for the last 10 years or so - the first time it occurred was the day after a bad weed experience. That episode lasted almost a month before it started to fade out. Since then, I’ve had at least 25 episodes - each one lasting about a month or two consistently. for awhile it felt like it was happening every 6 months, as if it was another condition. I’ve been getting them more often lately but they aren’t lasting as long, maybe two weeks or so. I can feel them starting to fade in and I can feel them start to fade out too. When I first start feeling the memory loss, fogginess, inability to do basic tasks, lack of comprehension, etc. I get worried. I always think I’m going into one. My gut is always right because a few days later I realize I’m in it. Is this normal for the disorder? I have a multitude of other symptoms - I have them documented in my phone because I have seen so many doctors and psychiatrists prior to learning this. At the beginning of the episodes I isolate kind of, have irritability/overstimulation, sleep ALOT, can’t control falling asleep while driving/at work, etc. Have y’all experienced all of this? I get worried that DD isn’t what I have and I’ll be back at square one with not knowing a diagnosis. I want to get your guide/book but I can’t afford it so I’m turning to the comments for help :(

I read about the sport that is good, but yesterday after so much effort in a game with friends i felt dizzy, faint and consequently dp and dr stronger I had a mini panic attack. Con you give me some advice.

[@Dpmanual]

Hey, thanks for your comment 😊 I know DPDR 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 and my book The Depersonalization Manual. 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 👍

Shaun have you known sufferes of dpdr that can’t pinpoint the exact cause? We know it’s anxiety but it seem to come out of nowhere.

is it normal for dpdr to treat their parents, sister, boyfriend as if we don't recognize them, that we don't have the same feeling for them, I can't describe it we know who they are and what they are, but that's not it

[@youngcad3n]

This is normal. When feeling DPDR it is normal for feelings of emotional numbness or detachment as well. It can make everything feel foreign. But just know that it is temporary and only persists with the anxiety, and once the anxiety fades even that too will fade.

Hi Shaun, I had improved a lot but the other day after I had a mini panic attack, now sometimes I'm fine but other times I feel like high heart rate at random times of the day then I feel tired, these things, what would you recommend?

[@Dpmanual]

Hi, thanks for your comment 😊 Remember that ultimately, DPDR is just a symptom of anxiety so when the symptoms vary, it's just your anxiety levels going up and down, and certain situations / environments can change them. I know it might seem difficult to believe but you actually have complete control over it 😊 Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website, starting with this one: www.dpmanual.com/about/depersonalization-definition-what-is-it/

@@Dpmanual thanks you for the answer but I don't understand if the feeling of love that makes me anxious sad and unmotivated and other things can make it worse.

Hello, Firstly, if you are experiencing any thoughts of self-harm, please do speak to a medical professional as soon as possible. Secondly, I know DPDR 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 and my book The Depersonalization Manual. 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 👍

[@mennayasser3675]

So what Iam really going through is a derealization?

Does someone have good experiences with medications when it comes to DPDR? I'm pretty overwhelmed right now and would do anything to stop the feelings.

Hi Shaun been watching your videos for some time now trying to clam down these thoughts, i know it was the weed that causes my DpDr to begin with. i haven’t gotten out of it for awhile now, just don’t know if i need meds to quit or if i can quit on my own whilst just quitting the weed, really would be great to have a response on what i should do next🫠
