Hey, two months ago i smoked weed and got dpdr its getting better but what bothers me the most is why am i questioning everything? and its like im unsure in myself and its hard to trust my decisions...before this i would trust my decisions with no problem, could it be because of the shock when i had panic attack on weed?

My experience with depersonalization was that I'd experience extreme difficulty concentrating, especially on work/schoolwork as well as repeatedly losing track of what I was doing/where I was throughout the day. These experiences caused me to quit my first job and become socially withdrawn. The symptoms have improved somewhat meditating in the morning, practicing mindfulness, seeing a therapist, and taking anxiety medication (which I personally found to be helpful). Thank you and I look forward to trying the sleep affirmations you suggested in the video!

no anxiety no dp/dr but when i feel very nice day suddenly intrusive thoughts come in i heard if we constantly accept it or look at it will be maifested thats why i am scared to accept my intrusive thought as a part of anxiety how to deal with it ( i accept my all thoughts and i say myself "this is not my thoughts its ok) but how to deal with scary thoughts and settle it down?

[@MentalHealthPower]

I did a video on racing thoughts, I recommend checking that out. I would not worry about "manifesting" something bad if you kept noticing negative intrusive thoughts. Noticing is not the same as focusing. If anyone kept focusing and creating negative thoughts all day every day they would probably start to feel negative emotions and that is what leads people to perceive reality in a negative way and then make choices in alignment with that negative perception, or "manifest" it through their actions. If you notice a negative thought, that is ok, there is no other way to observe any type of thought except by noticing it. With practices like meditation or other mindfulness practices you learn to notice a thought, or your mind telling you stories, and you learn to watch it in a neutral way and direct your attention somewhere else if you do not want to focus on it anymore. Over time the negative chatter starts to reduce and goes away. Think of it like a person - if a person kept telling you negative things all the time, if you just silently watched them and then ignored them, then directed your attention somewhere else, eventually they would stop coming back to you.

[@MentalHealthPower]

I focused on self love and self worth practices, I did a video on self worth and depersonalisation it's called "the missing key to depersonalisation recovery". Treat yourself like you would your best friend, I used sleep affirmations for self love /self worth for months to get it into the subconscious and it worked for me, but the actions we take towards ourselves has a impact overtime.

omg I first got DR after childhood trauma, it appeared several times in my life after that, but I didn't focus on it and it went away. for example I felt extreme DR while jetlagged and every time in a new place for days, but I just didn't know what it was. And then PTSD and postpartum depression hit me and I got stuck in the state for months, it was like a rabbit hole. Six months of hell and then distraction helped me a lot, I went to university. And now symptoms appear every now and then, any stressful situation causes DR, so yes, I agree it is vital to reduce stress...

Breathing techniques to calm the body and mind, and mindfulness meditation practiced daily can help (helped me massively), eat and drink in healthy way - a way where you are giving your body its daily nutritional needs, this way you are supporting your body and mind with recovery.

[@mindcafe5012]

hey, hope you are doing well apologize if this question seems a bit stupid but I have a question for you. You're saying that you are 99% cured but you also said there were a few moments and short periods where there were 100% no symptoms at all so does that mean the other periods you were experiencing dpdr? Or did you just experience the 1% during the other periods? I have been suffering from it for 4 months now. If you have any tips that would be amazing.

[@MentalHealthPower]

DP/DR can have many symptoms, and because I now only experience a very small amount of the visual haze symptom and it does not bother me at all, I see that as being 99% recovered. The other symptoms are not there. There are times where the visual haze is completely gone and so I see this as being 100% recovered. Overtime I am experiencing 100% recovery more frequently. The main thing I learned and I suggest you discuss with a professional therapist is that it is an anxiety, stress and trauma related issue. I believe a big part of it is re-training your mind and nervous system to not be in a hyper sensitive state so that it gradually moves out of the dissociative state which then starts to reduce the symptoms. So the main thing to focus on is releasing stress from the body and mind, releasing trauma from the body and mind and re-training ourselves to be in a mindful state so that we are not creating and feeding anxious thinking.
