My 12 year old autistic son who also has Tourette's syndrome, is now going through this. Begging to have his body back. I guess life didn't think he had enough on his plate. These videos give me some sort of glimmer, though hope is something I don't so much believe in anymore. It does give me comfort. He is surrounded by love and I know I will never give up on him, but mental health issues are brutal.

I know that many of you checking the comments desperately, so wanna leave my short story as I believe everyone can recover from DPDR. It started in June this year, when I was on my way to work (on the bus) and had a panic attack(must add that I was always fine with panic attacks, and they never scared me), but this time I did not snap out from weird sensations the panic attacks comes with. I felt foggy, like my vision dropped, then even more scarier symptoms followed such as: not recognizing myself in the mirror, family/friends/boyfriend felt like strangers, I felt to myself like a stranger, intrusive thoughts were MAD, object seemed weird, life seemed unreal and dreamy, felt spaced out, disconnected, surroundings felt too sharp or coloury, life seemed too much and felt so overwhelmed that all I could do is lay in bed and cry, thoughts of going crazy/insane, feeling on autopilot, hands, legs feeling weird, existential thoughts. I felt unsafe and I could not recognise my own room, flat, places outside. I must add that I always knew that ME it's ME, and my family is MY family, however the sensations were WILD. I felt like I will never be the same, never will recover, as my DPDR is DIFFERENT FROM ALL OTHER PPL( it's not true obv) All this symptoms warried , and when one of them started fading away, a new one would come. I had to stop working for 2.5 months, I could not be social, was scared to go out, having a coffee outside seemed to me a massive obstacle. I felt like someone taken my life away from me, and everything changed from one day to another. The physical symptoms I had: my vision dropped(but now it's back to normal), numb left hand heart, rapid heart beats, shortness of breath, itchy skin. What helped me is the acceptance that my feelings are valid, therapy, my friends who were super supportive. My family lives abroad, so I felt super lonely, however they would be with me on video calls almost every day for hours. Once I accepted the way I feel is okay and valid, stopped rushing the recovery and set deadlines, and understood the root of the problem of why I feel this way( THIS bit was a very important part of my ''almost'' recovery'' ) + I'm Christian so I prayed a lot, so it helped me massively. (If you are not, then meditation, relaxing music, candles and just chilled vibe) I started feeling better. I noticed that DPDR is not making me scared, and I gradually stopped having 24/7 anxiety because of it. You might feel that the small steps you are taking are useless, you might feel and wonder how could you be happy in the past, and your memories might seems like not even yours, however I can surely tell that I am feeling soo much better now. I am back to work, gradually adding back that social life. I started having mood to go to the gym and plan for the future. The majority of sensations/symptoms faded away gradually, the one I have atm is that I feel ''weird'' in my own body and basically why we are the way we are(seems a bit mad lol) but again, I know it's a DPDR thing so I am not in the terror, and I am feeling good. I have also started drinking coffee, as when all the DPDR started I stopped drinking it due to high levels of anxiety. Also, you will gradually recover, first days you will have few minutes where you feel ''normal'', but this will increase by time. And lastly, EMMA'S recovery story, and TIK TOK posts helped me A LOT. It was the first time I felt someone could relate to the way I felt and her videos made me feel safe. I still watch her content whenever I feel down.

I think that, as a community, we should create something like an awareness day of DP/DR. I've been thinking a lot about that, since I've recovered, how scary it can be when you're first going through that, or even like happened to me, that went through, recovered but not really because I dind't fully understand the condition and when, 10 years after my first experience, it happened again, I literally almost commited suicide thinking it would never go away. But it did. And I'll never thank you guys enough.

@@araiq7005 well, It was a very slow process for me. I had to take care of my anxiety. I went on medication, therapy and cbd oil treatment because I was really terrified. I treated myself very gently and accepted that I was going through that, and eventually started to stop fighting It. I watched Shaun's recovery videos a million times. Slowly, I started internalizing that this was just my brain's reaction to something. It's like when you get drunk and everyrhing is spinning. It's not the world out there that is spinning. It's just your brain perceveing it that way. I talked to myself a lot until I really understand that, because for me the existencial thoughts were the worst part. I was really scared of solipsism and kind of got an OCD experience out of that. Once my anxiety got better, I was able to think clearer and understood that in life we have to hold on to what you really believe. For me, there's no reason for nature to try to fool me with such an absurd idea in a world full of people, and also full of people who actually went through what I went through too. That's why those videos were so important to me. I don't think I would have made it without them. I also had to stay away from weed, which was hard because i've had been a stoner for like 12 years. Now I have a different relationship with a lot of things. I enjoy myself sober a lot more. I take care of my anxiety. I learned that my thoughts are just toughts. They CAN'T hurt me. Once you understand that, you don't indulge into them anymore. And from that point, it's really just one more step. :) wish you well!!!

Great interview--really, really insightful conversation! I'm really grateful for this! I want to add some solutions that worked for me: cognitive defusion/emotional acceptance/mindfulness/nonjudgment (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy skills + Buddhism or what is referred to as 'surrender' in spirituality--letting go of the fear of fear or trying to control the symptoms, which creates resistance)--basically acknowledging feelings as they come and letting them pass through rather than resisting ("what you resist, persists", according to Carl Jung). This was transformative for me. Internal Family Systems therapy also saved my life and helped me understand that these symptoms are protectors who aren't bad or deliberately hurtful ("No Bad Parts" by Richard Schwartz is a good introduction)--also helpful for addressing trauma that often underlies these symptoms (though it can also come from stress)! Here we have dual awareness, where you can take a step back from the symptoms and see them as a part of you rather than identifying with the symptom as a whole. This helps with healing a ton, as you become a compassionate, curious observer of your mind and befriend yourself! I hope that helps!!

great podcast. I think the key feature of DPDR is the analysis paralysis it causes most people to go into to try and frame the experience to no avail, which in itself is the negative feedback loop one's trying to escape. so then the way out of that state of mind for some people tends to be to re-frame the perception from trying to make sense of that state of mind to understanding why you can't "let go" of that frame of perception and just let it pass by. framing DPDR in this way in itself may be liberating for some people, or it may prompt one to delve into the individual context that may have provoked that deep/fearful anxiety. delving into that personal context overtime may help to re-frame one's focus to something more personal and tangible, which should increase the emotional salience one has relative to the given scenario/context. increasing that salience tends to lessen the anxious fixation to the DPDR state itself (which seems to be the canonical aspect of DPDR), as you distance yourself from the need to contextualize that state versus dissociating from it. also, the best way I've found to describe DPDR for people that haven't experienced it is that it's the same experience as when someone is so surprised in a very delightful, happy, or excitement-provoking way and they say "is this real", "am I in a dream/is this a dream", etc., etc - except, this DPDR state is the opposite connotation to that state of mind and is seemingly impermeable.

Thanks for your comment David! And yes you're absolutely right: As with all anxiety-based conditions, the constant analysis and frantically trying to make sense of DPDR is one of the habits that, frustratingly, actually keeps it around. Letting go of trying to 'complete the puzzle' and understanding that there isn't actually a puzzle to complete (it's just anxiety!) is a big part of recovery 😊

This is so accurate but my brain says “but how do I stop trying to find context” it’s like I have no control over it, I can’t stop trying to find clarity. Then another part of me is trying to stop that part from trying to find clarity. It’s like a conflict of different parts of ourselves.

totally understand that my friend. what's helped me to the degree I cope w/ it is therapy and journaling. I think it's helpful because there may be some actual context provoking it, from which working through it may help. At the same time, there also may come a point where it's just objectively an anxiety/defense mechanism that's not context-specific, from which recognizing that and being able to move on from it may help. it's definitely a journey my friend, but there is 100% hope to get out of it. having/developing that faith in myself throughout this process was a pivotal aspect for me, and that aspect of resilience/fortitude seems to be characteristic of many people who report going through it. all the best my friend@@twillsJKZ

In the midst of a world so ordinary, We lived our lives, quite contrary. Friends and family, our anchors so strong, But little did we know, things would soon go wrong. We laughed, we cried, we lived without a care, Innocence was our robe, so easy to wear. But one fateful night, temptation took the lead, We sparked up that joint, planted a treacherous seed. We passed it 'round, the embers dancing high, A momentary escape into the sky. As the smoke enveloped, reality did fade, A twilight realm where I became a shade. My friends turned strangers, their faces unclear, As DPDR whispered, "Nothing's real here." I floated in a void, no tether to my past, In a carnival of thoughts, spinning way too fast. Time was a river, flowing through my grasp, But now it's a haze, a memory lapse. Familiar voices distant, echoes in the mist, In this altered state, I cease to exist. The days turned to nights, the nights into days, Caught in this DPDR maze. My world grew cold, a fractured kaleidoscope, Where colors and feelings had given up hope. I yearned to find the path back to the light, To reconnect with those I once held tight. But DPDR's grip, it tightened still, A relentless storm, an unbreakable chill. Now I'm drifting in a world unknown, Lost in the depths of my mind, all alone. DPDR, a tangled web I weave, Disconnected from the world I used to believe. So here I stand, a soul in disarray, Hoping for a dawn to break through the gray. Though DPDR's storm may never cease, I'll find my way back to a world of inner peace.

I don’t know who will read this but I hope it inspires even just one person. I’ve always been an anxious sort of person even as a kid I had this feeling of impending doom, intrusive thoughts, reoccurring negative thoughts, dizziness etc (all the symptoms of anxiety) 3 months ago I had one of the worst panic attacks of my life, it felt like I was going insane and I was going to lose control and die…how ridiculous now looking back😂 my anxiety spiraled from then on and my biggest symptom was dpdr, for 2 months straight I didn’t feel like myself, I had this constant dreadful feeling of impending doom, I felt like I was constantly losing my mind, I stopped going out, I stopped eating, I was in a constant state of panic, I’d wake up and my mind was already racing, I’d go to sleep and my mind was already racing. all I wanted to do was lay in my bed and stay in my comfort zone. I constantly felt like i was dying, it was so mentally and physically draining. I started forcing myself to act normal again and do the things I’d usually do even though I didn’t mentally feel normal and didn’t want to, which was a struggle for me because nothing felt real and everything felt off and out of place. But eventually I started to feel a little better day by day. I started listening to Micheal a singer, he’s a great author and speaker, he speaks a lot on being mentally spiritual as well as releasing the burden of worries etc which really shifted my mindset and helped me so much with my anxiety and how I had trained my brain to be thinking at the time as I was in a constant state of flight or fight, I’m also Muslim hamdillah so I was looking for religious advice as well which helped a lot too! I’ve gotten so much better but I still have little anxious feelings and thoughts here and there which is completely normal, I’ve learnt to just not pay a lot of attention to them like I used to, giving those feelings and thoughts attention and making it out to be that there is some big issue that needs to be fixed immediately causes resistance to the emotions, that’s subconsciously signifying those little off feelings so now you subconsciously think that anytime you feel off or have negative/intrusive thoughts that they need to be fixed right away, truth is that no they don’t, you don’t need to react to them in a negative/panic way , that will just give u more uncomfortable feelings and thoughts because now your brain thinks it’s so important because everytime you get those feelings or thoughts you’re panicking and giving it a reaction. Anyone who is reading this, you’re doing a good job and this won’t last forever ❤

Hey Shaun. I have smoked weed since I was 15 and I’m 27 now. I was ready to quit because it was making my anxiety worse and brain fog. But never caused me DPDR. I quit for 12 days and intended to be done for good and was working out and feeling good and turning my life around. I sustained a groin injury and started having panic attacks because it wasn’t healing well and all I could do was sit around. My doctor gave me Ativan for panic and I took one and it didn’t do much for me. So the next day I took one and took a few hits off of my brothers pipe that he offered me just because I wanted the panic to stop and thought it would help me sleep. I wish I didn’t do that because it made me have a trip that I didn’t want and it made me feel really confused and weird and faces looked weird and it wasn’t a good experience. 2 days later I had coffee and it triggered the exact same thing. I almost felt brain dead for the first week and almost had to go to ER. Ever since I have had DPDR for the last 5 weeks and my thoughts are really weird too. I’m scared of peoples faces now and I sometimes see violence on people that is unsettling. Sometimes I hyper focus on all the sounds in a room. Is the violence part normal? Im also severly constipated and can barley sleep when I used to sleep like a baby. Laying around all day is causing pretty bad back pain which is effecting sleep. I can’t work or function anymore and am constantly around my mom because I have to be now. I was just building discipline, changing my life and I loved watching joe Rogan and David goggins, Jordan Peterson, they taught me so much and nearly saved my life but now I can’t even watch them anymore because I feel like I failed them and myself. I used to love watching the browns and can’t even get into it anymore. Video games no longer do anything for me and I used to love to play them. Even when I’m not having symptoms it feels like I can’t enjoy anything I love anymore. Like everything is dull. It feels like my life is gone and the family needs me because we are tight on money and my dad has heart disease. Actually everyone in the family is struggling with health. It feels like my world is falling apart and I’m very suicidal. I can’t live like this forever. I Can’t believe this happened to me when I was so close to changing my life. Now my life is worse then it has ever been and the depression is very intense. I’m constantly replaying that night when I took that combo and how I ruined myself and my life. I can’t forgive myself. Everyday is so difficult now.

Hey Dylan, thanks for getting in touch and I'm sorry to hear you've been having a difficult time. Firstly, if you are experiencing any thoughts of self-harm, please do speak to a medical professional as soon as possible. Secondly, don’t worry, that all sounds like a very typical case of weed-induced DPDR to me. 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. It's not permanent and it can't hurt you. 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.

Id like to add as someone who had weed induced DPDR your likely experiencing weed withdrawal symptoms on top of it especially if you were a chronic user which can make symptoms of anxiety and depression alot worse due to chemical imbalance but this goes away after the first month for some a bit longer for others, it might be tempting to smoke again believe me do not the longer you stay away from substances he better you will feel, I also reccomend quitting caffien, alchaole nicotine if you smoke because it naturally relaxes your nervous system more

Nice video! Sadly it's my 4 Rotation with dp/dr, but it's my one fault because i tried weed again and had a panic Attack after that :))) This time it's scarier because I got it without drug abuse but just with a panic attack. So i am thinking now I can get it random at Andy time and not because I smoke weed, that thought triggered the hell out of me! I am dealing with it 1 month now, but I am sure I will recover soon! I am currently looking for therapies to bury my dp/dr for good this time ! I am still going to work meet friends and inanely just meet my now new girlfriend in this situation. I am just hoping I am back to normal soon GL to you all fellas you all deserve and will be getting back your normal good life🙏🏽

TRIGGER WARNING (DR personal experience) 16 year old daily weed smoker DR experience: For a few months now I have been experiencing chronic DR almost every minute of everyday until I smoked and then it went away for about 20 minutes and comes back. For me, I feel like reality is all predetermined, that it isnt real, and kind of everything feeling like it is all revolving around my life (not in a narcissist way). Things would look so strange but I recognize them. For example, I was watching south park and out of nowhere, Randy just started looking super alien, like it was looking at me. I never experienced feeling disconnected, or that I was out of body, but my head was always super foggy. (DR is now hitting as I'm typing) Sometimes in my DR episodes, I tend to think suicide is a super viable option because I just don't think anything matters since otit's "predetermined" Derealization is an extremely terrifying experience that affects not just me, but other people too. Don't think that suicide can be viable because it isn't. Stay safe guys

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

There is a way where you don’t get any of those what if thoughts and no self doubt but it takes extra work . Sure getting worried about a circumstance is fine but worrying about your self in those ways means we still need work. Regardless good job on your progress it gets even better than that. You can have a quiet and clear mind .

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.

Like I’m disconnected from myself personality-wise. Like I KNOW the things I usually enjoy, just like how I can remember the events of before my second round of DP with enough effort, it just feels like they’re gone. It also doesn’t help that sometimes it does feel like I’m becoming a different person sometimes. Like it’s all the same stream of consciousness obviously. I’m not blacking out with no memory of what happened before or anything. It also doesn’t help that it feels like everything I used to enjoy is now a trigger for anxiety.

Can anyone tell me if it sounds like I have dpdr. No one will diagnose me with it. Even my therapist. I had a lot of traumatic stuff happen leading up to it- but I woke up one more feeling completely out of it. The only way I can describe it is looking through a foggy window. I am so tired all day every day. I feel that feeling out of it every single day. All day long. It’s almost like a feeling of being h I g h.

Don’t worry, from what you've described that all sounds like a very typical case of DPDR to me. I know it 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 😊 If you're in any doubt take a look through the list of symptoms here and see if they sound familiar: www.dpmanual.com/about/do-i-have-depersonalization-disorder/ www.dpmanual.com/about/depersonalization-symptoms-the-10-most-common/ 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.

Hello, I don't recognize myself in the mirror, I feel like I'm another person, my doctor told me it's just anxiety, however I'm afraid I have dissociative identity disorder or schizophrenia. Is it possible to recognize myself again and for this to be just the result of anxiety? As I mentioned before, in my entire life I have only been diagnosed with anxiety, not anything else.

Hi Jason, if your doctor assessed you and told you it's just anxiety, then it's safe to say that that's the case. Read this carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/schizophrenia_cancer_depersonalization/

Its not dissociative identity disorder or schizophrenia. If it was, doctor would probably know it, and people around you too.. Schizophrenia is pretty obvious. About dissociative identity disorder, you would also recognize that probably or some close people around you. Having thoughts and fighring inside your head between those thoughts does not mean you have dissociative identity disorder, its common for people with anxiety/ dpdr. Im also fighting this problem for 10 months and feel kinda lost, but I sstudied about it so I can tell you 99% you dont really have any of those, just anxious and dpdr.

Hi there, I had this out of many symptom of DPDR, I was questioning who am I, could not recognise myself in the mirror. You need to remember that you are still YOU, however when you are anxious your brain is overwhelmed and more sensitive. You are also disconnected mentally from yourself. It is difficult, however try to accept it and distract yourself. It will fade away. Mine faded away in weeks, and now I can't even recall the sensation of it or the feeling I just remember that it was bad and unpleasant. And btw, I thought the same as you that it's maybe identity disorder or schizophrenia. Trust me, it's not and you will definitely recover. Just give your body and mind break and time to heal.

Hey Sean, wouldn’t trying to focus and distract yourself from dp in turn make it worse? Since they say that trying to not feel anxiety or thoughts /dp actually in turn make it worse? I’m having trouble on this part.

Yes I have the same reaction to this rhetoric. I don't know why he thinks that is the way to recovery because it absolutely is not. True recovery is willful exposure to panic attacks repeatedly. The dpdr will not simply "fade away" when you "ignore" it.

Hello guys, im sorry to say this but i want to know if anxiety can make you fear of the reality? Im fear of what i am,who i am,where i am And also the feeling of unfamiliarity can happen even though your vission is clear no brain fog but hard to remember or focus? Also hard to understand what i read or what i hear, feels like there not absorbing in my brain,. My feeling of everything is numb,time,day,weather, morning, evening,,.but my vission is clear no brain fog feels like im new to this world even though i know everything
