Dealing With My VR Hangover

[@Jped277]

Thanks man. I just used my new vr for the first tome over the last few days and after i felt like my hands and phone werent real. It scared me so bad i went home from work friday. I thought something was really wrong with me. We need to get this video out there because you could have kept me from being nearly scared if I would watch this beforehand. It's the weirdest effect to feel like reality is not real. And nothing I'd ever felt before compared. Thank you for your video and hopefully people will read this and find out that the effect does get better it goes away slowly over time if you're careful. It took me a few days of just minutes here and minutes there of VR to get used to going in and out. Definitely take it easy guys. Vr is fun but must be respected

[@Inkwyrm_YGO]

Thank you so much for this! I'm in the middle of it and I FEEL SO WEIRD!

[@stig809]

I literally got my Oculus 3 days ago and I’ve been wondering what I’ve been feeling THIS IS IT, not the sickness but the fake perception of reality!

In what kind of way?

[@Hayden11335]

@@santini1224434 no lol like you literally dream in vr kinda hard to explain. Like how it feels looking around/moving around in vr is how it feels when you dream after playing it to long. Kinda the opposite it makes your dreams less lucid in a way

@@santini1224434 less realistic/vivid very uncomfortable dreams, not nightmares just makes your dreams very unsatisfying. For me at least

[@alimarieify]

I stayed in vr for 10 hours yesterday and now my body feels like it’s still in vr. This is called derealizarion

[@goten2831]

Dude same exact thing happened to me this morning. Played for 5 hours last night. Completely slept through my alarm. Woke up disassociating from my hands. My boss called me and woke me up (he was really nice about it) and instead of walking into the bathroom I kept trying to “use the controls” to move and I tell you, weirdest freaking feeling. I’m done w VR for a while…

[@spaceballs4200]

Ty for making this. The same thing is happening to me, i got a quest recently and loved it so much i did like 2 hours a day for about 2-3 days and its the worst im on day 5 of the hangover and getting better but slowly.

[@ItsMeCourtney]

I literally tried to walk through a wall today after spending 6 hours in VR. So embarrassing lol I felt like a fool because who tries to walk through a wall 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@goner345]

I spent 18 hours straight in vr and stayed up until 2 a.m. today my entire world has just been wrong its been almost scary the worst part is i just started summer camp today.

[@robertorebola7532]

Oh my god I feel like hands are not mine I've played to much walking dead saints and sinners about 4 hours Just got a quest 2 this is so unspoken of I feel it's dangerous

[@brasileiroloko5375]

right? nobody talked about this, seems like everything outside vr is not real

[@brasileiroloko5375]

i feel less stuff lmao

[@Oroborus]

i just picked up an Oculus Quest, and I was not aware of these side effects outside of motion sickness. I was quite confused when i woke up the next day and still felt like i was in VR, and everything i did and touched just didn't seem real. it was mind boggling. I'm glad to say that it goes away eventually, thank god. I guess thats what i deserve for a 4 hour long game sesh!

[@0509080190]

Man I had the same VR feeling when I look at my phone after I played for like 3 hours daily didn't know I am new to VR. I have oculus quest. When will this VR feeling go away? Do you need to stop playing to go away or you can still play? When it didn't come to you do you sometimes feel it after you play for like 2 hours daily with rest in between?

[@Oroborus]

@@0509080190 i didnt really feel it after playing, it was more consistent when i woke up the next day after gaming for a long time, that lasted for about 2 to 3 weeks. The only time i felt normal was when i was back in VR, I dont experience it anymore whats so ever, even after long gaming sessions, just more eye strain the anything. But it was a very strange experiance. I think you just gotta game vr a little more, get your vr legs down and your brain will eventually adjust. If you are experiencing a lot of derealization, i would suggest not touching your headset for a couple days just to let your brain get back to reality if that makes any sense lol

Ik this video is old but I finally got a vr a couple days ago and have been playin the heck out of it then had to go into work and Ive been experiencing heavy depersonalization like my hands dont feel real and they feel like vr hands, and its gotten to the point where i feel disconnected from my own body, luckily i alr have some experience dealing with depersonalization but a majority of it is jus trying to keep myself from freaking out

[@MyCatsOnAcid]

How do you feel now?

I have to drive a lot of for work and I had to take off 3 days. My perception was so messed up, had a killer migraine for 2 days. It’s funny because I didn’t have any issues for a week with other games but the moment I played resident evil village for 4 hours all hell broke lose.

[@Vincent_Preston]

I was drinking and playing VR poker for quite awhile and now I feel like im still in the game 😆. I close my eyes and can dee the poker table...

[@MullerEdizz]

Same thing happened but its the line border

[@livingsouloftimestudio2887]

Finally someone else is describing what I feel, my word I was wondering if I have a neurological damage or something, it’s so true tho you feel weird things feel off your head feels like it’s not even functioning right, after that you feel like your eyes are skipping around, it’s the worst feeling guys it’s just a nightmare please be careful. I loved flying in the flightsim and feeling in an actual aircraft but it messes you up really bad. Had my eyes checked said they where fine but seriously don’t be excessive with your VRing take breaks…

Ya i had derealization before vr and it makes it worse but i wanna get a oculus quest 2 so bad but i don’t know if its worth it.

[@IDoABitOfTrollin]

Just do small sessions. I have DPD and small sessions were fine but playing for an hour or more really got me badly. Im taking a break for a few days

[@SWED904]

oh man after 5 hours of playing in vr and taking it off the world feels fake for hours !!!! and its called derealization

[@xdevinmartinez]

I’ve had VR for almost a week. Played the shit out of it for 3 days and haven’t touched it since. All my dreams are about being in VR, I can feel myself moving in my sleep, I wake up and everything feels different. Nothing feels real, it actually has caused me to feel depressed the last few days. Today is the first day I had a normal dream and things starting to feel normal
