@@RobotRobot-ho6mb I did use lexapro, it’s an antidepressant. It didn’t help until I raised the dosage to 10 mg. I have to say that medication didn’t do much over all, it helped me eat and sleep better, but the dpdr was there 24/7.. it reduced my anxiety slightly but that was it. I didn’t try many meds so I don’t know if there is a medication that would help more. Acceptance and commitment therapy and exposure and response prevention therapy are the way to go here, look these up. Try to understand as much as you can about the condition, learn about it.. you can’t do it man, don’t lose hope, it’s possible!

[@bleakdrifter]

It’s been about a year since i’ve recovered 100% from my two and a half year long stint with constant 24/7 dpdr. I was hospitalized and had to have my mother sleep in bed with me at the age of 22 because i was so scared. I didn’t leave the house. I couldn’t eat for months only drinking pediasure and soup. Things were very bad. I used to sit and search through comments here when i was very low for peoples recovery stories. So glad you’re doing these videos now. I can’t imagine how comforting these videos would have been when i was going through it. But i’m here and happy and alive again. Thank you Shaun

[@bleakdrifter]

@@RobotRobot-ho6mb I had stopped taking my medication cold turkey which i believe started my dpdr. But i went back on it and i believe it helped me a lot. It’s different for everyone but i was and still am on Prozac and Lamotrigine. And to sum up how i got better i basically just let it stay and ignored it.

I've struggled with DPDR for 10 years, and recently decided it’s time to stop ignoring it. Because of it, I've lost my passion and haven’t achieved anything. Now, I’m reading your book, and it gives me hope that I can finally escape this!

[@Dpmanual]

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. If they're not familiar with DPDR you can show them this video which will clear things up for them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3_dqqeberV-qpo 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 👍

[@DjordjeMojsilovic]

Hi Shaun, Hi everyone. My struggle with depersonalization and derealization has been going on for a year and a half, I can say right away that I have recovered 100%. If it weren't for you and your work, it would be difficult for me to get my life back. All those symptoms of intrusive thoughts, existential questions, vision problems, extreme anxiety, loss of erection, not recognizing myself in the mirror and many other symptoms that I don't remember were hell. I am writing because I am available to people who are in a similar problem and need support, a call or anything that would help them in their recovery. Shaun I would also like to participate in your work and share my experience. My name is Djordje Mojsilović from Serbia, I am 23 years old, life is beautiful after Dp/Dr.

[@KevinAndrade-x4z]

How did you recover?

[@diartahazrolli9411]

I’m trying my best but i have problem with intrusive thoughts and obsession i mean all of this has became an obsession and if i’m busy i forget about it for 2-3 hours but the moment that i’m free i start to think about anxiety how did you beat this part plz tell us?

[@DjordjeMojsilovic]

People, believe me, all these symptoms are temporary. Listen to my advice, I'm not someone who would talk in vain. I felt that God wanted me to help people with this problem and that's why he gave me this pain, so now I want to help everyone. Focus on your life, live it and stop looking for a solution on the internet, the solution is within you. The more you focus on it, the longer it will last. Certainly you won't be able to stop with general thoughts right away but start from today now!. And that it lasted 24/7 when I get up and when I lie down I dreamed the same thing...

[@DjordjeMojsilovic]

@@diartahazrolli9411 At the beginning it is 2/3 hours, later it becomes 10 hours, then the whole day. I'll tell you a story. I don't know when I recovered it was kind of a very gradual process. Last year, I caught myself at the sea in Herceg Novi, a city in the state of Montenegro, playing on the beach, drinking cocktails and hanging out with friends. . At one point, I remembered my pain that I went through, separated and started to cry .Then I felt incredible gratitude and love FROM GOD that washed over me. Praise and thanks to him, he answered my prayers in front of the mirror when I prayed for hours just to recognize myself, my eyes are full of tears as I write this to you.

[@ca7582]

Spirituality is what triggered my anxiety and DPDR in the first place 😂 specifically the idea that my identity is an illusion created by the brain and/or "the universal consciousness" and that there is no meaning to anything, and all that stuff 😂😂. For some people seems to be very liberating, but for me, it was quite the opposite. I'm still in the process of recovery from that. I don't have DPDR anymore but I still get peaks of anxiety and mild OCD. I'm leagues better than how I was, however! And this channel has been instrumental in my recovery! Thank you, Shaun! ❤

GUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYS!!!!!! I DID ITT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE RECOVERD!!!!!!! JUST LET GO AND LET IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!

[@xClicKx]

I went through it in 2018 for about 6 months i would say. And now its happened again since i got back from vacation. I think this time it was caused by accumulation of stress because i work and go to school all week so im taking a break. I immediately consulted therapy and this time around my thoughts i had last time are not present. Because i actually know what it is. However i do see myself reverting to these loops of thinking when it will go away and things like that. I know i have all the tools to get out of this. Sometimes its easier said then done but i have to just let the feeling be there and be comfortable being uncomfortable. This month i made a little progress in terms of acceptance and coping. I went about 3 weeks without having a breakdown. Also incorporated journaling into my routine. What i do need to work on is to stop over consuming myself either videos or books that adress what im experiencing because i already know the answers. I really need to lean into it for now and let it be there and work with my therapist. Chances are in a few months or next year i probably wont even think about this moment anymore. Also im working on realizing how much it made me grow last time and how strong it made me realize i am and that here again i will grow and prove how strong i am. Hang in there guys. Its hard soemtimes. There will be ups and downs but you guys got this. Its strange life was going so good im almost done my schooling to become an electrician and then boom life just hits you sometimes. But you have to get back up. Dont ever give up. Keep a positive mindset/foundation/routine

I can't take it anymore my heart is always beating fast I'm losing

[@Dpmanual]

Hey Amber, thanks for your comment and I'm sorry to hear you've been having a difficult time ❤️ 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 👍

I was not able to interpret my emotions. Or my word from life or like everything still seems unreal. Even WA' you for a smoke. Weed like with just plain. Simply powerful. It has no relationship with my deepersonalization but experience it first sent when I was 16 years of age was not something pleasant at all. I wish I never went anywhere that caused me to have this traumatic reaction.

[@unraveledultimatefate]

I actually have had the personalization in response to traumatic reaction ahead. When I was too far away from home in pramo base and I felt homesick and I did not want to sleep in a shared room and I woke up during that night entering the bathroom and everything seeming weird and off in a way that I was sure that my mental health or life is over and it's been 14 years since. And I'. M still not okay

Hello friends, it's been a while since I've been here, nor have I researched depersonalization, and the reason is that I'm completely cured, thank God and Shaun's videos. My DPDR started at the end of February this year, I had all the symptoms, the worst possible, I thought I would never get out of this, that my life was over, that my dreams and plans came to an end, but I always had hope and faith that a One day I would be among those cured, and today I'm here to share this with you, to encourage you not to give up, because healing is possible, no matter the symptoms, no matter when it started, if you use the correct tools, you will be cured. . I was with you on this channel, commenting on the videos, full of doubts, scared, desperate, my comments are there, everyone can see... today I am 100% cured, my emotions have returned, my memory, my personality, it's me again , life is so beautiful, God is so good, I hope from the bottom of my heart that you too are freed from this disease, don't give up, it is not permanent, you will also tell your testimony.

[@sk.khairuzzamanrizu3976]

Bro can you explain how you recovered?? I’m also suffering from depersonalisation from the same time as you….I’m so done with this…I want to be a real human being again instead of a robot. Plz help bro😢

[@LucasCell-j6z]

@@sk.khairuzzamanrizu3976 My friend, the first step was to find out the name of this disease. At first, I didn't know what it was. Thanks to this channel and the manual written by Shaun, I not only understood the problem, but I was also certain that I had a cure. In the first few months, I had symptoms of derealization, very intense and violent. Nothing seemed real, nothing made sense. I knew that everything was real, but I didn't feel that it was real. Then the derealization went away, and all the symptoms were of depersonalization. It's hard to summarize the hell I went through. I was losing touch with myself, as if I were no longer a person, just a thing existing... I started to organize myself, go for walks, run, play video games, anything that could keep me busy. I changed my diet, always went to bed at the same time, drank teas to relax and help me sleep... I sought spiritual help, prayer. My sister helped me a lot. We made prayer resolutions, and I got closer to God. That was essential. I was sure that God would get me out of that situation, and nothing seemed to work, nothing I did. I decided to see a psychiatrist three months ago. He didn't understand my problem. He said it was anxiety. I agreed to take an anti-anxiety medication. At first, it seemed like it was getting worse. After a month, I noticed improvements. After two months, I felt a big improvement. I realized that I no longer had any symptoms. I was cured. Everything went back to normal. It's not easy, sometimes it seems like it's an eternity, that nothing changes, but keep going, have focus and discipline, occupy your mind, do activities that you like, and you will also be cured, be patient in the low moments, there will be relapses, when you least expect it, you will be cured, and it will be as if nothing had happened, everything will be as before, believe me!

Hey Shaun, had weed induced dp dr for 2 weeks 1 month ago, it was hard at first but i managed to overcome it after finding ur channel and watching ur videos for couple days. Thing is, today it kinda came back and i feel basically the same thing. im much more aware about it and im not scared as i was at the first time. still, for me its kinda annoying that it came back especially after me completely not giving a shit about it anymore. dont know if i was clear but yeah. any advice?

[@Dpmanual]

Don't worry, temporary setbacks like that are very common on the road to recovery. 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 👍

Has anyone ever gone for an MRI of their brain and especially the pituitary gland? I highly recommended it and also based off your blood work if you find elevated hormones out of range. Having a pituitary adenoma (small tumor) on your pituitary gland can affect you and cause a lot of the DPDR symptoms. Take it for me, I found out I have this and am going to see a neurosurgeon this week. Please feel free to ask me any questions, just trying to help. I don’t know if I’ve heard Shaun mention this.

Like i was calm but felt disconnected it’s such weird feeling

[@LucasCell-j6z]

I have no words to thank this guy, this angel called Shaun O'conner, you were crucial in my recovery. I thank the Lord Jesus above all, without Him I would no longer be here, this disease has only brought me closer to my Savior, I am stronger than ever, 100% cured, something I thought would not be possible, I had the worst symptoms, I went through real hell this year, but it's over, I'm here to tell you that I'm cured. I would like to share my testimony, but I don't speak English, I followed this channel all year, commenting on almost every video, hoping that one day I could say what I'm saying, that I did it, I beat the DPDR! I'm 29 years old, I live in Brazil, I hope I can help someone here, just like I was helped, I know exactly what you are feeling, it feels like climbing Mount Everest with one leg, it seems like an impossible mission, but soon you will have a surprise, everything will pass and return as before.

Thanks for your comment Lucas and I'm delighted to hear you've recovered! 😊❤️

@@Dpmanual My friend, the first step was to find out the name of this disease. At first, I didn't know what it was. Thanks to this channel and the manual written by Shaun, I not only understood the problem, but I was also certain that I had a cure. In the first few months, I had symptoms of derealization, very intense and violent. Nothing seemed real, nothing made sense. I knew that everything was real, but I didn't feel that it was real. Then the derealization went away, and all the symptoms were of depersonalization. It's hard to summarize the hell I went through. I was losing touch with myself, as if I were no longer a person, just a thing existing... I started to organize myself, go for walks, run, play video games, anything that could keep me busy. I changed my diet, always went to bed at the same time, drank teas to relax and help me sleep... I sought spiritual help, prayer. My sister helped me a lot. We made prayer resolutions, and I got closer to God. That was essential. I was sure that God would get me out of that situation, and nothing seemed to work, nothing I did. I decided to see a psychiatrist three months ago. He didn't understand my problem. He said it was anxiety. I agreed to take an anti-anxiety medication. At first, it seemed like it was getting worse. After a month, I noticed improvements. After two months, I felt a big improvement. I realized that I no longer had any symptoms. I was cured. Everything went back to normal. It's not easy, sometimes it seems like it's an eternity, that nothing changes, but keep going, have focus and discipline, occupy your mind, do activities that you like, and you will also be cured, be patient in the low moments, there will be relapses, when you least expect it, you will be cured, and it will be as if nothing had happened, everything will be as before, believe me!

@@Dpmanual Follow Shaun's videos, watch the interviews, write down all the tips, put them into practice, everything this guy says in the videos works, it helped me a lot, don't focus on the symptoms, no matter how difficult it is, soon you'll be here telling your story cure.

@@Dpmanualhi Shaun! Thank you for all you do! My feelings of DP/DR don’t bother me so much anymore… I’m a teacher, mom and coach my daughter’s soccer team… I’m still struggling with the existential thoughts… it feels like I just realized how weird existence, humans and the earth is… it’s like a realization not a question of it so much…I use to think these things with just wonder before… I feel like I opened my mind to a new way of thinking and I won’t be ever to think normally again… will I actually be able to go back to normal thinking again ? Thank you!

[@Dpmanual]

@@emmashow2494 Don't worry Emma, existential 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/ And yes, you can and will get 100% back to normal ❤ www.dpmanual.com/articles/back-to-normal-after-depersonalization/

can i go far even if i have dpdr? won't I be affected?

[@Dpmanual]

How do you mean go far? 😊

[@shinobis-o6z]

@@Dpmanual can i go for a walk outside

[@Dpmanual]

@@shinobis-o6z Yes of course 😊 You should ideally be aiming to live your life normally, as if you felt no anxiety whatsoever. Here's a tip: Don't be afraid to bring your earphones with you and listen to music / a podcast while you're out for your walk 😊

[@unraveledultimatefate]

I do know that cannabis definitely served its purpose in schedule 1. And in that schedule 1 cannabis is more dangerous than other substances In the same category

[@TheLocalDank]

What fear? I literally feel nothing.

[@Dpmanual]

Don’t worry, that's a very common experience with DPDR. I know it can be frustrating but it will fade away and stop as you recover 😊 www.dpmanual.com/about/do-i-have-depersonalization-disorder/

Hey why do we neeed depersonalisation in danger ?

[@Dpmanual]

Depersonalization is a normal and natural part of your body and brain's fight or flight response, which kicks in at times of perceived danger 😊👉 www.dpmanual.com/about/depersonalization-definition-what-is-it/

I feel like im loosing my personality i rethink everything every feeling every thought everything, i wanna get back to my old self so bad 😭

[@Dpmanual]

Don't worry, you're not losing your personality and you can and will get 100% back to normal 😊❤️ Read this carefully 👉 www.dpmanual.com/articles/back-to-normal-after-depersonalization/

[@LucasCell-j6z]

@@Wissal-b2y I was also cured of my DPDR, the worst symptoms, 24 hours a day, not a moment of relief, I thought my life was over, that this was something intractable, I even doubted these reports of people who were cured, and today I can say without a doubt that this disorder is not permanent, that you will be cured too. Treat anxiety, learn to deal with the symptoms, if necessary, use an anxiety medication, stay focused on positive things, live as if you were already well, and the miracle will happen.
