[@alexandradobre61]

Hi. I ve been having this condition for 8 months. It s been a non linear recovery process with many ups and downs. Lately I ve been getting a lot of deja vu, but they are nothing like those I ve had before. First a big wave of confusion is coming out of nowhere, and it feels like I m dead and the world looks so scary, then I get a deja vu and the feeling that the dp dr is ending and I am returning back to normal. Have you experienced this? Also, what Kind of diet will help me the most? I avoid sugar, dairy, gluten, but for 2 months I was eating only rice and fish and potatoes which I suspect are making my dp dr worse than it should be. I go to college, hang out everyday, I do everything it needs to be done, but food is the only thing that is dragging me down. It feels so frustrating. I really don t know what to do anymore.

Your story about looking at a puppy and how you felt in one of your videos was literally so spot on for me it’s insane. i’m 18, this summer i smoked for the first time and i’ve always had anxiety and depression, so when i got high the anxiety kicked in and i had the worse trip ever and the feeling of reality didn’t seem real at all. i was lucky to have my closest friends there with me to help calm me down. that was my first experience of DP. it lasted that whole day till i wasn’t high anymore. and didn’t think about it again. 2 and a half weeks ago i had a bad anxiety attack about how i thought i was dying and that triggered to me thinking about death, and what happens after death and then the question of reality set in and started the whole DP/DR episode. took me two weeks to look it up and find it has a name. and every since i knew it had a name and it wasn’t permanent and anxiety based and completely treatable, my worse days are behind me. i’ve had bad episodes since then but not as bad as before knowing that thinking i’m going crazy. i still think about it constantly but i can feel myself slowly getting better with it. today at baseball practice i actually had a good long time where it didn’t even cross my mind. i was just happy and living. i can see myself slowly getting these longer breaks where i don’t think about it. Since i genetically suffer with depression and anxiety problems i am back on my medication and should help a lot when it kicks in. but it is not needed for everyone by no means. i am sharing my story for all you young people out there and recent people that have come down with this. don’t feed into the fear. fear is food for DP. love y’all

How r u now

[@RuralAdventures]

I commented on a video of yours about my dp problem, and it seemed to clear a lot of things up. One of my main fears was that I was developing schizophrenia, and wouldn’t be able to return to normal and life a normal life like an average teen. This was one of the most scary thoughts because my aunt had schizophrenia, and died from it. I thought I had some genetic link to her metal illness, and I would end up like her. Thats what my first panic attack was about. Those thoughts calmed down, but I still always had that feeling in the back of my head that I was going nuts. Then I discovered your website and KZbin page, and I felt a lot better, then though the thoughts came back because I was still so shocked that last year I was a normal kid and now I have this thing called dp that is destroying my life. I am going through puberty, which could be the cause of my anxiety and this. But the big question I have is if the stressor or accumulator of stress is still going on that causes dp like social anxiety at school, could that possibly make the dp stay if your always having anxiety, and is it possible for it to be schizophrenia due to gienets??? I know I probably sound like alot of the people you talk to be it would be nice to get over this.

[@tristanlorta6498]

The fact that you are asking if you are schizophrenic is a pretty good indicator that you aren't. I go through the same thought cycle though. You aren't alone in this way of thinking. Take some breaths and try and redirect your thoughts. Ask yourself often "is this a rational thought, or an I letting my anxiety take control?"

[@soccerpro2b]

I personally brother would also look into meditating 🙏🏻 Also brother, mental illnesses are suppressions of emotions. If you tell yourself you have something then you will get it. That’s how the mind works. On a side note, I believe on a spiritual level/consciousness schizophrenia is when you remember your past life 👀

Five years into recovery, I keep learning that yes I was traumatized, ( mom left family) when I was seven, my dad was violent 2sisters died. Bro went to prison and I was told shhhhhh Get over it. Don’t cry, that’s when I started having organized crying moments. Closet case emotions. I’m much better. Recovery is a gift. I also learned I had copper overload, and pyroluria.

I lived with my mom in 2020-2022. I got bullied, fat shamed, racist name calling , other stuff that I don't wanna say, and when I tried reaching out to her for help she basically left me on my own. So I sat in my room 24/7 day dreaming and thinking of the bad stuff that happened to me. Overtime I noticed that things just seem more foggy. Like I'm in a dreamlike state. I'm living with my dad now but I'm so tired of feeling this way. I can't get over the things that happened to me when I was living with her because they gave me PTSD. So I'm stuck in this constant loop of thinking of what happened, and how bad life was when I lived there, and I have a bad habit of daydreaming and thinking of random things. It's like I'm living in my head and the world around me is fake. What should I do?

One hour or two I woke up dazed and confused like if I was not real and my heart started to race because I knew I wasn't feeling normal how I supposed to. I was about to call 911 but instead I called my mom and told me I was fine that It's just a panic attack. Second time that it happened to me I was 25, I was just on my computer doing homework and out of nowhere I felt weird like if I was not real and having existential thought of my surroundings and myself. Went to the ER and they said nothing was wrong with me after they done blood work and ct scan me. It lasted about 2 months. Right now I'm feeling like this but not intense as I used to, I do get intrusive existential thoughts and about afterlife but I try my best not to scare myself. I have it now like 6 months.

Hey Paul, thanks for your comment and I'm sorry to hear you've been having a difficult time. Remember that, as I explain in the video, it's not technically the drug that triggered the anxiety condition, but your body and brain's response to what it perceived to be a dangerous situation at the time.

@paul A, as Shaun mentions in his audiobook, it's really a habit of mind. I had the same issue with being in nature it would freak me out and I would think I was going to have a panic attack. I religiously followed the instructions in the book and every time that the thought would come to me when I was in nature, I would immediately distract myself. Over time, it slowly and slowly started to subside and the thought pattern disappeared. Now I think back about it, I know it used to happen but I no longer have the same reaction to it and I can't even comprehend why it was happening.

The panic attack was my breaking point and then here came all the anxiety/dpdr/depression etc.. I felt like I was going crazy. Went to dr after dr. Finally got under a pyschiatrist and he gave me 10 mg lexapro, buspar to take daily and 15 mg remeron for sleep and to regain my appetite bc I had lost soo much weight!

[@Dpmanual]

Hey Tyler, 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 if you would like to speak to a medical professional please don't hesitate to do so.

in 2020 we was thrown into the pandemic and i was in a dv relationship i ended it and went into 2021 with a refreshed mindset in april of 2021 my cousin oded and almost passed it braught up so much hurt in me and caused friction with my family my cousins dad had molested me wen i was a child and while my cousin was in the hospital his father somehow came back around i saw a picture of him and havent felt the same since i feel so crazy that im crying out to everyone yet not knowing what to say and no one’s understanding me my mind is racing so fast i question everything my memories play all day like im watchin them on a movie screen i jus feel so tired like it’s draining me all day and night

After coming out on the other side TWICE, It was scary as shit I mean literally I even thought about suicide, But what helped was One no medication, No weed, No liquor, No thing just Prayer, Exercise, Time and patience, Stop googling shit seriously stop looking online for answers, Stop everything, It will go away trust me, I honestly was in and out of the hospital, Scared for my life I couldn’t drive I couldn’t conversate I couldn’t do anything without panicking and slipping into that dark place, But I started to challenge it and it took maybe over a year or so but that’s because I already has anxiety and ptsd and I didn’t want to do the work, If your reading this is I was once YOU, But prayer got me through and I’m blessed to be where I am mentally, Although I still sometimes get triggered about that bad trip but I honestly I am about 90% better with what happened and I’m 100% cured from the depersonalization, Stay strong 💪🏾

Question, there are times when I feel like I lost all of my empathy/am fully desensitized to things that I logically know should upset me, when I get into this depersonalization state. I keep second guessing myself, thinking that I’ve turned into a sociopath, from not being able to emotionally react to certain things that usually get to me, why does this happen?

Hey Arlanda, 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, remember that ultimately DP and DR are both symptoms of anxiety, and that in order to get rid of them you do need to address and understand both properly, and the underlying anxiety that’s causing them 😊 Read this carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-and-derealization-whats-the-difference/

Depersonalization disorder is not an anxiety disorder. It's a dissociative disorder. It can occur as a standalone syndrome for which distraction sadly doesn't work. I have no anxiety but it never went away. Shaun and those who recovered are just lucky. For some of us dp never fades no matter what we do.

Hey Shaun, I just wanted to say that I suffered from DP and I’m getting better and better everyday! But I just wanted to say that the only thing that I’m having a little trouble getting through is the place where this entire thing started was my home. But the point is sometimes I feel like I’m getting flashbacks to it because it’s the same floor same walls same furniture where it all happened. So I just wanted to say to you how do you overcome it and any helpful tips? I really appreciate you and how you take the time to educate us.

[@Dpmanual]

Hi Axel -- Don't worry, it's very common for certain places or environments to trigger feelings of anxiety. I know it can be frustrarting but it will fade away and stop as your recovery continues.

About brain damage, this condition will remain forever and so on. It's been almost 3 months now. How common are constant headaches in dp/dr?

Has anyone had cannabis or hallucinogens help them temporarily stop/relieve DP/DR while high on them?

For clarity I did not take a full dose. Would love to hear about any relevant experiences.

I've always struggled with dissociating, but one time after smoking i had the worst trip and its been months and the feeling still won't go away. After smoking it i completely forgot who I was and didn't know what was going on, I felt like I was stuck in an endless loop, after a little i remembered who I was but I felt a way I never had before and felt as if nothing was real. It has by far been the most scary experience in my life, and the feeling never went away. Every day is a constant daze and I feel so distant from everything, I feel like I can't even enjoy anything from how bad it is. Everyone is saying that it won't stay forever but I can't help but feel as if it is, I'm still super scared and have no idea what to do

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.

Hi Shaun, thanks for your videos and manual on how to get over this disorder. I have a question that seems to get overlooked a lot. I have bad dpdr with anxiety the last 2 years since a panic attack. But I also developed intense 24/7 headaches along with the dpdr and I feel this is preventing me to recover. To the point that I even question whether the headaches are actually causing a lot of my dpdr. It seems that when my migraines get worse so does my dp. I don’t know how to tackle this issue, as only « distracting yourself from the dp » seems to not be enough for me. Any thought on this? Thanks again
