Haley is 27 years old. In April of 2023, she developed Depersonalization Disorder. She experienced persistent existential thoughts, vision changes, couldn’t leave her house without experiencing the feeling of impending doom.
She struggled with the condition and the symptoms for about 7 months.
But, as Haley wrote to me in a recent email, quote: "Since the end of October I have fully recovered and your manual helped me in my recovery journey. I have watched lots of your recovery story videos and they all really gave me the hope and motivation to keep pushing through and not give up on myself. And I'd like to share my story too."

Stopped searching for symptoms over the internet, stopped drinking coffee, cycling 1 hour a day.

coming back to this because it appeard on my home page.... so my journey basically start after some zaza (ifykyk) i do smoked for like 2 years and enjoyed it but one time one bad joint made me fell in this state of DPDR that would constantly made me feel like im in a dream and nothing around me was really happening ,feeling like im not myself anymore + few physical symptoms like heart racing or ears peebing...these feelings would drive me crazy and made me think that i would never get out of this shitty hole... after a few months i could tell that im feeling better and these episodes of unreality just comes for like 5 mins and then go away as i STOP thinking about them and i know its really hard to do but the only reason why we are still feeling them its because we keep caring about them!!! these are some of the tips that i used to get out of it i just convinced my self that these feelings that i have are only in our minds and other people dont feel them i started to stop fiighting them and accept them and let them be i started living my life as nothing was really changed and slowly i stopped thinking about the feeling and thouths that were going thru my mind THIS HELPED ME A LOT AND COULD HELP YOU TOO,IF YOURE GOING THRU IT RIGHT NOW JUST CLOSE THIS VIDEO STOP THIKING ABOUT DPDR TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR MIND TALK ABOUT IT TO A REALLY CLOSE FAMILIAR DONT HIDE IT AND THEY WILL UNDERSTAND I THINK IM 90% HEALED NOW AND JUST NOT CARING ABOUT IT WILL SET ME FREE OF IT I WILL COME BACK WITH AN UPDATE

I am at the point of not having the panic/shock moments when addressing DR, or thinking about it, it is as if my mind just thinks ‘meh’ and I forget it and go on, did you have the same in your recovery? Can it be that it is part of the ‘recovery journey’? Thanks!

Hi, there! I'm currently in my recovery journey, but had a similiar experience a few weeks ago with Zoloft. Actually, my doctor told in advance that I would be EVEN MORE ANXIOUS than before for 2 weeks. It was hell. Couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, felt very "off". It was hard to to identify if it was the medication or the anxiety itself. It's been a little over a month since I developed DP/DR and started taking Zoloft, but already feeling so much better. More good days than bad. In a little while, I'll be 100%! Thanks for sharing!

[@nullachtfunfzehn280]

Thank you for that video! I have DPDR for 7 years now and I function, but suffer of course. The thing that I don't get is how to get out of the constant checking in on your self. It's so deeply integrated into me now that I feel like I don't even realize it that much, cause im also doing everything that I would normally do. Can someone share there techniques for that ? btw your manual helped me really understanding it better and gave me a lot of hope that it will go away one day!

[@jamdwhi]

I remember exactly when mine started. I was working nights in a hospital, and also started using kratom and alcohol very heavily to be able to sleep during the day. The mixture of these two things set it off in a very bad way. I had already started to notice symptoms, but chalked them up to poor sleep. But one morning after work, I took my kratom and started drinking my wine, and boom. All of the sudden, nothing made sense or seemed real at all. I looked around the room and looked at myself, and immediately felt like I didnt recognize any of it. I had no idea what anything was, who I was, what I was, what reality was. Everything was completely foreign and terrifying. I had nothing I could grasp onto that could ground me. My vision got very strange too. The tiny bit of my sane mind that was left thought for sure that I had a brain tumor. I somehow drove myself to the ER. Which was an awful experience. They did CAT scans and all kinds of tests and of course found nothing. They kept me on suicide watch, then sent me to a psych hospital. That was a dreadful experience. I checked myself out and have basically just been living with DPDR ever since. That was 10 years ago. Its a constant struggle. Life has lost all meaning. I feel like I have no sense of self or identity at all. It still feels like Im living in a dream state. Its depressing. But Ive just been trudging through life anyway. Im tired of trying to explain this to people and doctors. Nobody understands. So Ive just decided I have to just live with this fate.

[@altanilcin958]

Recovery is possible, sometimes we call it dpdr even though you just feel bad. The memories seem distant to me now and I can't remember what I felt then. It's actually a good opportunity to improve our lives! Isn't that right , Connor ?

[@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. Secondly, don’t worry, existential / intrusive thoughts like that (about time etc) 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/ Third, 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 👍

[@carolinamuller1822]

I guess If you're still thinking you'll never recover, you are afraid of it. Let It Go. You will recover.

[@Dpmanual]

Thanks for your comment! 😊 So DPDR is an anxiety-based condition and (barring something like a major head injury) cannot exist without anxiety. Even though you may think you are completely calm, you are still feeling anxious. Maybe you're not anxious relative to having a full-blown panic attack, but your baseline level of anxiety has been raised, and so even though you may not realise it, what you consider to be calm now is not what 'calm' is to someone without an anxiety condition. Think of it like this: If you weren't feeling any anxiety, you wouldn't even be checking in to see if you felt DPDR. But don't worry -- all of the symptoms will fade away and stop completely as your recovery continues. 😊 Read this carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-without-anxiety/

@carolinamuller1822 how do I let go please help

[@carolinamuller1822]

@@teresaroberts4578 start by accepting how you feel right now. Those symptons, those thoughts, they are just how you look at the situation at the moment. Understand that that's all your reaction to anxiety. That's all that it is. It's very hard and I understand perfectly that you're struggling to get out of that habit of thinking, but when you start to let go, you'll see that it was all anxiety after all. If you realize you spent 5 minutes feeling ok and not thinking about It, it can happen more and more and eventually, it's gone. Take It easy, don't pressure yourself so much. It's just a weird phase in our lives

Please help. Hello guys, I am currently getting over DPDR, this morning i found out about it from this videos but everytime I open up this channel, it seems too good to be real, because it made me feel so good and relieved, it sometimes trigger response in me like its almost too good to be true, I think it would really help if any one just commented on this to know that I'm actually interacting with someone, I know it sounds silly, but these thoughts are 99% silly to most people. Hope everyone is doing good.

[@Dpmanual]

Hey Ivan, 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 👍

[@Zamoxi]

That's dpdr friend, nothing to fear about it. You are okay i promise. Its just a really high amount of cortisol and adrenaline entering your blood stream so it puts you in a hyper aware state of everything including yourself. Makes you question yourself and makes you think irrationally because that part of your brain only cares about keeping you safe. Think of the thoughts your having as false alarms from your nervous system to keep you hyper away. It does this because its scared to not be in this state because it thinks something bad is going to happen. You have to learn to redirect your thoughts to the present moment and get out of your head. you have to do this a bunch of times every single day until you are back to normal. You are safe though. Feeling uncomfortable isn't dangerous its just uncomfortable.

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/

Can DP/DR cause anhedonia and loss of libido?

[@Dpmanual]

Yes, DPDR, like all anxiety-based conditions can cause loss of libido: my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15216-low-libido-low-sex-drive

Don't worry, it doesn't matter what caused it, how long it’s lasted, or whether it’s been 24/7 or episodic, you can always switch DPDR off completely by stopping the anxiety that's causing it 😊 Read this carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/how-long-does-depersonalization-last/
