What Are Derealization & Depersonalization Disorder?
If you or someone you know is dealing with a challenging situation and could benefit from additional support, consider talking to one of the 2000 licensed online …
I think i have the disorder and am tired of dealing with society and evrrything seems like it doesnt matter to me. I think in the long run i might end up killing myself. I just hope when i do there nothing left but blackness. I dont want to live like this.
All I’m going to say is that if you’re suffering through this, it will eventually go away. Change of some things in your life style that may be negative such as food,relationships,drugs. Change of dieting and exercise regularly 🙂 I used to have derealization and it had felt like it was going to stick around for the rest of my life.. the number 1 tip I could give which helped me the most is to work on your breathing techniques. If having an episode find yourself a positive and quite state of mind and relax drop your heart rate and breathe. You’re not alone. 🙂
Why did I smoke weed? seriously
OMG im laughing hahahahahah thats soo me right now guys trust me everything is going to be just fine is just matter of time and pls be positive Be patient and keep yourself busy
i dont know what is wrong, I cant tell if I am exaggerating everything in my mind or if im really feeling this. I dont feel like im floating and watching myself i just feel empty, like there is no one inside. Im 17 and have got this on and off the last year and a half, sometimes for a day sometimes for a few months and each time i get sadder and sadder. I dont feel real emotions anymore, I cant remember the last time I felt genuine joy or sadness. Physically things have felt off, like right now typing this It seems like i am feeling the keyboard less than i was able to before i started feeling this, i swear things just used to feel more????? I've had slight breathing problems when i get these periods aswell, i feel like i have no concept of future, like its out of my reach. I used to be so in touch with nature and every time i would go outside i remember physically feeling so great and taking in everything around me, and i went for a walk today i just felt like i was a puppet and somebody else is pulling the strings, the same sights that i adored made me feel nothing i was just blank. I feel so out of control, i am scared but then again i cant fully feel it.
"Phenomenon to recognize or describe your feelings at all." YES THIS ALL OF THIS I cannot for the life of me do this
when i was a child, i used to get DD symptoms following two circumstances: sudden stressful situations OR fever. i would not recognise my own voice or face, feel like i was in a dream/video game/movie, have hallucinations and trouble with my memory, to the point where once i couldnt remember how old i was. now, after a series of really traumatic events in my life, i fell into the DD exactly half a year ago never could get out of it. i’ve visited psychologists, therapists, psychiatrists, i’ve been told i have psychosis, even schizophrenia, but on myself i relized i just have DD. no pill is helping, really nothing is helping, and im feeling worse and worse….. can anyone relate? tell me anything that would help me, even a “stay strong”?
I don’t feel alive, my mental state is not healthy at all. Since I was 12 I have had severe anxiety and I think way too much. All I want is to feel human, the emotions just aren’t there and I don’t feel like they are coming back, I feel dull inside.
Can it happen without trauma?
I feel like things are fake
…said a robot.
Stop getting angry,sad,regretful as far it looks it leads to self destructive behavior slowly killing yourself im not amazed if you get higher cancer chances from it from many mental problems sometimes you just gotta go what you desire. Fuck the money or fame even attention put yourself first before anything whatever this disorders are is a mind game and you must win the higher chances you just will in life because were are own worst enemy. The greatest of minds even have to overcome themselves or not at all they saw all from the start what they wanted to be. Let em diss or kill you ain’t going to change what you done what they fail to see on themselves but realize you were loved and needed unconditionally.
I had this.. It constantly felt like my life was on Auto Pilot.
It usually happens very rarely and sometimes it gets really bad, idk why
Hello everyone. This is my story: After a 3-month period of intense anxiety, panic attacks depression and non-stop running thoughts i 've felt a pain in the left hemisphere (also i ve had increase blood pressure). Then this pain was expanding all over the head, it was like headaches, spasms, diziness,auras, stings. I had at the same time disturbance of the vision both of my eyes. Gradually i developed sharpening of my 5 senses and i began to forget things. Also, my thoughts were slower and slower until now that it' s like i cant thinkg anymore something new. It is like there is no short term memory. Also, my long term memories are like they are frozen..like my brain is now working. Like i overheated it and now is shut down. It's too hard for me to write this text. I was very smart with a very strong and detailed memory, and now i fell like i have lost all of my knowledge. I am disconnnected from all the emotions too. I am watching a movie and i cant understand it and i cant feel anything. It's like i am dumb. I can't read or make something creative. Also, i noticed that my all personality has changed, like i became the opossite of me. My fears, my nervousness, curiosities, dont even exist. I dont hace perception of the reality, i cant feel the serious case of the pandemic and all this sad. I feel like i am disconnected from the reality , the people and the things i loved. Its like i am only a body without feelings or personality. Also, i have differences in my skin, stomach, mucles and movements. The only i can feel is apathy. I am trying to behave like my old personality. I got an MRI, a CT, blood test, and clinical test and all were very good. My neurologist and psychiatrc told me that is a psychological issue that lead me here from intense stress. I am feeling like i am losing my mind. How is this possible to happen? I am lost in space and time. Can anyone help me of feeling the same?
I tried weed once and it ruined my life and gave me anxiety and derealisation. Seeing my hands didn’t feel like my hands..my mouth went dry and my whole body had a wave of sweat and rapid heart beat.. it’s all in my mind but I keep myself distracted and it makes a huge difference. The more you keep yourself busy the more your used to it and slowly your mindset gets out of that derealisation mindset. It’s important to ignore anything your mind trips you up into. Being in hot temperatures can also make it worse and not eating enough food. So please get out of that mindset, keep yourself busy and take care of your health x
I feel like im in a dream or coma. Then i get panic attacks when i think about it too much. And i can’t even focuse or its hard to remember what i did on that day.
Mostly during night time, when I'm in bed or at my pc in my room, I completely forget what time of day it is and think my mom is away at work (day-time) and then I remember she is asleep in another room (night-time). It scares me sometimes because I have a curtained window right next to my bed and I guess I don't really take in anything around me.
I cant remember when it started but I have both. It dosent seem like the person in the mirror is me. My brain always feels like it's in a fog. I have depression, anxiety, ocd and derealization/depersonalization. I used to love drawing and writing and I wanted to become an artist when I was growing up, now I just can't get anything out of my brain on to paper. I have no motivation to do anything in life anymore. It's not a good feeling and it has completely ruined my life. I have no friends, I'm going to turn eighteen this year and I illegally dropped out of middle school. It was a bad school and I didn't have many attendance days to start with and they didn't even notice when I completely stopped going. I stare into space a lot. My dreams feel more lucid and real than when I am awake. I feel more like I'm in my own body when I'm dreaming.
It feels like when you smoked a lot and the next day you’re kinda still high but you have a marijuana hangover and you just feel like a zombie, that’s how I feel everyday, it’s even worse when I go outside it’s like a foggy filter over my life
There is so much people with this, and it makes me cry, knowing I’m not alone, I hate my derealization it ruins my life, and seeing so much people going through the same thing as me, makes me feel less alone and a bit better. I really hope I get better, and you too, have a great day and remember, you’re not alone
Is derealization that feeling like everything around you seems fake and you are confused
Can someone start a groupchat with me about derealization. My instagram is ( @iamliterallyafan )Just send me a message. i just wanna be able to talk to someone about it. I feel like im the only person who has this but seeing the comments makes me want to talk about it with other people and maybe that will make me feel better.
I really wan't to be the old me 😭 Im 10 years old when I got this…
i never used to feel like this but ever since i ate an edible ,this shit sometimes happens like rn, i feel like im high or something
How can I make it go away when I drive it so so so bad Is their medical help for this .
Don’t think about it to much keep yourself busy play video games or something
I experienced this for 1 week after a bad experience with LSD. It was really terrifying and I thought I actually became psychotic/schizophrenic.
In my opinion, I think you'll continue to experience this if you don't feel good about yourself. You should meet new people, work on your favorite hobbies/activities, explore the outside world, and the feeling will eventually go away.
Is it possible to have both….
