Havent seen this channel in months just wanna say thanks to you I was able to properly recover from dp/dr. You saved me man. I wouldn't mind doing a discussion with you about my recovery! Albeit im a stage freight freak.

So good to hear you've fully recovered! 😊 And yes absolutely, would be delighted to have you on the channel, drop me a line and we can arrange! 😊

[@markgeczi45]

@@mattrinehart9348 yo man calm down its all going to be fine im going through dp/dr right now and i did have intrusive thoughts like oh no im having the same symptoms as schizophrenia and bipolar and yes it is such a scary thought but all dp is is just anxiety. You dont have to worry about having this forever or having like something else its dp and nothing else. The key to overcoming dp is to accept the feelings and it does seem hard like oh my god i cant do this for any longer if you want to recover the best tips i can give you is stop researching it if you get a symptom then dont search it up just think okay im feeling not normal but this wont last forever and it will go soon your life will get back on track, dont think of dp as an enemy its not gonna harm you it cant harm but do not worry man it cant last forever and you will snap out of it :)

[@caitlyndiann285]

This is amazing. I’m so happy to hear someone on the channel talk about intrusive dark thoughts. I’ve been through several inner struggles and DP led me to have the intrusive thought “what if this gets so bad I want to end it all” and it TERRIFIED me. I didn’t even wanna be by myself for fear I might act on it. When I realized that the fear was literally there to protect me, to prevent me from ever actually doing something like that- I felt so relieved. Fear is your friend, guys! Fear is there to protect you, always. If you have an intrusive thought like, “what if I harm myself or other people?” And you react with fear of that thought, it is proof that the thought is unwanted and definitely not something you want. Accept that the fear is there, and that the thoughts require no attention because they are meaningless. They will pass ❤

[@Dpmanual]

Thanks so much for your comment Caitlyn and I'm very happy to hear you liked the video 😊 And yes, intrusive thoughts like that are super common with DPDR (and all anxiety-based conditions).

Don't worry Mike, it doesn't matter what caused it or how long you've had it, 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/

Have you recovered?

Watching this while hurdled up in my bed because I can't even recognize my family faces today, every day is different but it does get better

[@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 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 👍

[@mattrinehart9348]

I feel like everyday is different too. I feel like DPDR switches up symptoms is that possible? And can I have dpdr without existential thoughts ? I don't have many of them . I just mainly breakdown from it and have guilt and shame and think to myself how the hell can I recover and forget about all this .

[@Brokenlance]

Glad to see she is doing much better! Right now I’m having a bit of a relapse of symptoms, I’m doing okay but I have a question. Reading the chapter on the “nonsense illusion”, you mention that it works of the same predication as depression, that it hijacks your thoughts and makes you think all you are doing is worthless. My question is are the thoughts of feeling stuck in a rut and worrying you’re losing purpose part of the nonsense illusion? Or is that actual depression? I’m just feeling confused about my emotions and I can’t tell if I’m actually depressed and should seek help, or if this is just a fear of being depressed and I just need to follow the manuals guidelines?

[@leticiafroes5811]

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.

Hello! Ever since I saw the top 10 symptoms vid I’ve been feeling better and I got the DP manual to make sure I have a nice audiobook to listen to on my road to recovery. Although I’ve found my biggest struggle currently isn’t really addressed which is a lack of sleep. I just spent a whole night not falling asleep at all. I didn’t just stay in bed the whole night, I would get out of bed and do things then try again but that didn’t work. I even took 3mg of Melatonin before bed and that used to help but didn’t do anything last night. Any recommendations for this? Not being able to sleep is scaring me.

i need your help, i’ve always had anxiety ever since i was about 10, but it’s gotten to the point i’ve had DP for about 4 months now and most times im convinced that i died of a heart attack over a bad trip in july when i smoked too much weed, i know it sounds stupid but that’s what i genuinely think, that i died and im not actually here. I always look at other people and think how they are living normally, because everything seems so pointless and not enjoyable, im constantly im my head and for the few seconds im distracted i think “u were distraxted from ur DP” and then i fall back into the cycle of thinking about it too much and it’s driving me insane, im on antidepressants for anxiety and im hoping DP will fade away soon.

I've had this thing for a year now. It's easier in the morning, worse in the evening. why is that?

[@1298blaster]

Only thing that triggers an episode now is either bad sleep (sleeping too much or too little) or some big change in environment (driving test, days before vacation) but other than that I more or less recovered. It feels good knowing it’s not there 24/7. I should be exercising more though 😂. There’s a medication called lamictal and it has amazing reviews for dpdr. It doesn’t make you high or anything (you don’t even notice you’re taking a medication) but it just slowly helps you return to normality. I came here because I got bored and to just recommend this medication as it is a life saver.

Hi! I’ve struggled with falling asleep, I didn’t sleep at all last night. Would you recommend that medication for that?

[@1298blaster]

@@joespinelli3604 No. lamictal is a mood stabilizer. Doesn’t help with sleep. I take something called Remeron for sleep. You should get in contact with a psychiatrist.

[@mattrinehart9348]

I have lamictal. Doesn't it cause a rash ? Does dpdr make you feel like your either coming or going ? I have so many symptoms of it idk what's what . And isn't lamictal for bi polar ?

[@1298blaster]

@@mattrinehart9348 You are correct as to lamictal can cause a very dangerous rash. However the rash usually happens if you tilter up the dose it’s quickly (which is why it’s important to have a psychiatrist help you get to the desired dose) the rash (known as Steven Johnson syndrome) is also incredibly rare; happening in about 0.08% of people. Lamictal was originally prescribed for epilepsy, but it’s been shown to have promising results for the depressive symptoms of bipolar. It’s also prescribed off label for major depressive disorder, and even DPDR. It’s one of the few medications that work for dpdr, as its believed to primarily work on the GABA receptors in the brain. Just to note, I’m not a doctor, but I’m simply regurgitating what I’ve read online, and what my own psychiatrist has told me. I can also provide my own anecdotal advice since I’ve been taking lamictal for a little over 2 years now.

Lamictal didn't make you feel flat ? Does it make the world more clear and the way it's suppose to look ?

@@melotics yea it sucks but the channel does really help me and I hope it helps u also bro I always feel better knowing I’m not going crazy like he says on one video and everything he says I’ve been going threw but it does make it pretty clear that we’re basically just overthinking it and that turns it up a lot I try just keeping my mind of it and it usually goes away but it returns I have bad days and good day today was a terrible day usually if I get a really good night sleep i feel like it goes away but it comes back when I’m tired for some odd reason any ways I hope you recover buddy and I hope everyone going threw this does peace and much love keep believing that one day we’ll be back to normal and it’ll come 🙏

[@melotics]

@@elgordolagordayelflacoguer7521 yes we will recover one day but i hope you recover very soon bro. what i do is to try and tell myself it will pass and this feeling is only temporary sometimes it will go for a while but sometimes it will lower it and i’m stable again, it also is better to tell yourself you aren’t going crazy. for me it comes around the evening or the morning. i really hope everyone out there recovers from this experience

[@MrCjchamp2001]

How do all these people who recover do it without medication? I’m on medication and know if I came off it I’d be dead man walking. These natural things do not work for me. As soon as I hear they did it without meds, I tune out bc I know we’re not in the same situation. My symptoms never match either. I’m on a lonely island of my own. I feel inside out. Like I’m completely turned inside out. No reality issues, no movie, no dream, no intrusive thoughts.

[@mattrinehart9348]

My symptoms don't match either makes me think something else

Is it normal to have convinced yourself you are in purgatory or Hell? How do I know if it's just a fear or if that I really believe it? I purchased the DP manual but I've slipped on the rules. I'm having a hard time accepting that it's DPDR. But I had it twice before in my teen years but it was more derealization than depersonalization and now its both. I just need someone to talk to me 😢

[@Dpmanual]

Don’t worry, 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/

My face and feet and toes are a little numb. Can I recover from this? I’m terrified to death that I cannot complete my engineering degree now and become an engineer. Please help.

[@Dpmanual]

Don't worry Barry, it doesn't matter what caused it or how long you've had it, you can always switch DPDR off completely by stopping the anxiety that's causing it. You can and will get 100% back to normal 😊 Read this carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/back-to-normal-after-depersonalization/ 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.

[@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, 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 👍
