Depersonalization vs Derealization
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 07. 2024
- Have you ever felt detached from the world, or felt like you don't belong in your own body when you look down at your hands? The psychological disorder depersonalization and derealization is this phenomenon more intense and prolonged. Depersonalization is when you feel cut off from yourself, and derealization is when you feel cut off from the world. Both the causes and treatment methods for both depersonalization and derealization are similar. To get diagnosed for this disorder, common processes undertaken include getting a doctor's evaluation, questionnaire tests, and structured interviews. Many patients often undergo psychotherapy to get treated for depersonalization and derealization.

Two more days until the weekend! What has been the best part of your week so far? :)
The best part of my week so far has been seeing your videos and realizing more things about myself and realizing that I might have certain issues and talking to my therapist about them who helped me get treatment for what ales me. ^^
Psych2Go What if you went thru both?
Going home
That is so heartwarming! Thank you for your kind words, and I am really happy that you sought professional help :) Have a great rest of the week.
Watching this video
I would stare at myself in the mirror and think this person is not me it’s scary shit
Yung Cris yes! And when I close my eyes everything feels so distorted! Like I can imagine certain objects and they’re just a liquid or something it’s so weird
Idk if this contributed to maybe why I feel this way, but when I was younger I saw a trailer about a demonic presence attacking people through mirrors with exact copies of themselves. It scared me shitless so I hardly looked in the mirror and I’ve never been a vain person anyways, so I hardly did it before watching that trailer. I hardly took pictures of myself or allowed others to take pictures of me. Sometimes I look back through photos or I catch a glimpse of a child in a picture frame, but have zero clue how she came to look like me. There’s days where I’m petrified of looking at myself in the mirror, bc I don’t feel like I look like myself. So, like a crazy person I start talking to my reflection, threatening to break the glass if it pulls some creepy shit... It never does. Then there’s days when I’m not bothered because I recognize myself in the mirror. Then there’s days where I feel like she’s watching me with knowing eyes. Like if it were possible to step through the glass and see what’s on the other side it’d be an alternate universe where she lives a different life than me or at least she’s living at a different time of our life. Ik I sound crazy, but I’m certain that I can’t be the only one who’s ever felt this way. Idk if it’s this derealization or depersonalization stuff, I try not to self-diagnose.
I have this memory as a child. I would stare at myself in the mirror while saying my name over and over. Just normally. Maybe after the first ten times I said it, I started to not feel like me. Like I was... blank and looking at a sad little kid. To this day, I don’t know why I started that. No one ever told me to do that or nothing on tv ever said to do that. I just did it. It would scare me. I couldn’t do it now.
I have cured my depersonalization and derealization the day I took 2 tabs or Lsd and In the madness of the most intense trip of my life I found the reasons why I felt like I did. It takes looking into your head to get past this. The lsd trip helped me realize a lot about myself and really has helped me with self esteem. I’m not suggesting you do lsd but just sharing my expierence with this and how I fixed it for the better. Looking back on how I might’ve caused it i know that it was the weed
I do this to snap back into reality. I know I’ve had both for the longest time and got diagnosed. I live in my head I feel like I’m not here ever it’s hard to live in the moment
depersonalization: I don't feel real
derealization: the world doesn't feel real
i feel like i’m so deep in my head all the time that , at times, i realize i’m in first person mode and i get freaked out and then i wonder : how the fuck does being in 1st person freak me out if that’s all i’ve ever experienced in life
@@arionas26 I don't have the disorder, But I have had several episodes. and if that's you all the time, or almost all the time I would see about trying to get help if you can bc it's hell and you totally deserve all the love and support
TheDauntlessGirlonFire I sometimes go through a mixture of both. It’s hard to explain. I just feel like I lose control of what I’m doing, and my body is moving itself. As if my brain is disconnected from my body.
@@mashalogvin6300 the more episodes I've had, I can definitely agree with you that it's a mix of both
@@arionas26 SAME I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE like I'm scared of being in 1st person even tho I've always been In it
I remember going through my derealization episode. I went to my best friend and kept telling her "I know I'm talking to you but it doesn't feel real, nothing feels real." When I looked at myself in the mirror it was like someone else was looking back at me instead. It really does feel like a long never-ending dream coupled with panic attacks and constant anxiety. Had to get prescribed a high dosage of antidepressants after locking myself away for almost 2 months. It gets better but it's a real hard journey.
when I talk with my friend on discord to work on our thesis, it doesn't feel real at all, it feels like I'm observing myself from the 'outside', it feels like watching a film of myself
it’s so hard to try and explain it to other people. i’ve tried to tell my mom about it but it just never makes sense. she just thinks i have anxiety or depression or something and i probably do but it’s all because of this
Completely true
Hi Kirsten. I had a dpdr episode yesterday and Im just about recovering now. Can I ask if its a constant thing or does it sometimes just happen to you. Mine was cannabis enduced and i feel mostly back to normal now
Shit i feel the same
I just wanted to say as a person who experienced dpdr for month’s, I just wanted to say that it gets better and it goes away and it’s really a mindset thing don’t overthink it keep on living no matter what. And remember the more you fear it the worst it gets so instead of fearing it distract your self, cut back on your stress, and learn your stress limit and I promise you, you will feel better soon. Have an amazing day and if this help make sure to like you got this, stay strong❤️
Can 10000% agree, just keep going and you will heal i promise❤️
Try pastor Eddie turners testimony
How is it a mindset??? It's not just something that goes away when you gain motivation
@@aduckwithsmallfeet I'm just dropping this message to affirm what you said. The person who posted what you responded to was lucky enough that it went away, but that doesn't always happen. Some people are going to be dealing with it their entire lives. You can learn better ways to live with it, but it definitely isn't guaranteed to go away.
Thank you 🙏
Who else constantly feels like they are on the verge of losing their shit sometimes and familiar areas look like you are seeing them for the first time??
Yea
Yeah everything looks different
I had those symptoms 2 years ago.
Yea i remember to have this for the first time, at that point i was on that direct place and instantly forgot where i am. like 3 or 4 seconds later i realized where i was again. That shit freaked me out
Yes and it seems to get more intense over time.
The realization that you're actually doing what you're doing.
"Wait why am I on this CZcams video again?"
Yes!! It’s the realising you’re actually alive? But you realise it too much??!?
Its like looking out of a window after staring at the view beyond the pane for a long time, its weird...
Gazer gazer
lol
This feels so complicated to describe. It’s like a scary feeling of feeling though everything is fake even your self. Not only that you start to think about what happens after death and if there is any thing after this life. It is probably the scariest I’ve ever felt
czcams.com/play/PLLJYuBgviqU_BQ9j2IhfjA7ADknro3_f6.html
I made this playlist when I was recovering to help other people who are experiencing it since there's not a whole lot of info about it. I hope you're doing okay, stay strong friend! ♥️
I have the same feelings. The world feels fake and how it works feels fake! I also think about what happens after death and death in general
What the hell, this is the exact same thought I had where I used to think after life after death and wheather this world is real Or am I living in a simulation
@@ShiiimasonFinnaly some people understand me! I even got panic attacks from that😭😭 it’s the scariest thing ever
I literally started crying when I found out about these disorders and their symptoms. I never even knew that these things I’d been saying and feeling just needed to be said to a doctor
Look up pastor Eddie turners testimony
I've experienced this for a long time around 9 years (I think) but when I found out about it I didn't get help right away when I did my family doctor basically said "Your overthinking" I'm not lying when I had the most intense massive mental breakdown. I don't even know how to deal with this situation (I'm not saying going to a doctor wont work but the medical industry it just feels like you really have to go so many times to actually find if there's something)
I’ve been repeatedly telling my friends “I feel like I’m sitting in a movie theater watching my life in front of me.”
That's kinda cuz most people are. Go on the stage and get involved in the performance :)
Ignacio Rodríguez I wish it was that easy .
@@deqaa100 that's a mental barrier you building there but I get you :)
exactly...
THATS EXACTLY HOW IT FEELS
One thing that gets rid of my derealization: closing my eyes for a couple minutes. The outside world is so overwhelming sometimes that blocking it out helps.
I can't share this with enough people lol. Hope it helps, and if it doesn't-- just keep trying stuff. That's how I got here.
update: sunglasses >>>
I was watching a lot of videos about simulation and suddenly a thought came in my mind that what if this world is just a dream ?? What if all the people i love are just my imagination that sh*t is scary to imagine and idk why I'm not getting over this fact i just feel like I'm trapped inside my own imagination i dont know how to explain it but please if you're reading this help me.
@@garrygrewal4321 I'm really not sure how to help. However, I will say this-- you are not alone. You are surrounded by people and loved ones, all of whom are real.
Have you tried pursuing therapy? It might help to talk to a therapist.
@@cilantrolime i haven't talked to a therapist yet but I've told this to my mom and she tried to explain it to me but nothing really worked I'm afraid to tell it to my dad,I'm only 15 and I have no idea how to get out of this hell.
@@garrygrewal4321 you might approach your parents about therapy. this sounds like it could help. I'm very sorry that you're going through this, I hope you find a way out soon :)
@@cilantrolime I've just learned to co operate with this thing now. Whenever the thought comes in my mind about "what if it's all just a dream" ? I just say cool and don't think about it anymore,thank you for helping me out.
I’d describe it similar to the feeling you get when you experience deja vu. Everything looks the same but it feels so weird and almost new. You could experience deja vu in your living room you grew up in, but in that moment, your living room feels foreign and different.
Imagine that feeling constantly along with the feeling nothing is real. Like you’re just observing the madness.
I’m glad to report I don’t suffer it anymore. It went away by itself with time. Just distract yourself as much as possible.
What scary is feeling lack of empathy cuz you feel like that your turning into psychopath
Agustin Vazquez
How did you---
I legit self diagnosed myself as one (not like I was sure it was just my label untill I got the balls to get real help) and now...
Now I know.
My dog just died and I didn’t get that sad and I feel like I’m losing my mind
Hannah Kohl
I have had thoughts about killing my classmates so empathy is thrown out the window 😂😔
I'm luckily better now but it's really scary to laugh while people are suffering or dying,
Yes.i watched my beloved cat getting put to sleep and didn't feel anything, while my father was crying.she was also like a child to me.but i was so in dpdr it didn't got me
Lolita Subliminals okay now laughing is weird. DPD is more like feeling absolutely nothing. not laughing
Does anybody keep 'waking up' to reality over and over and over again?
Like I'll be driving and all of a sudden every second that goes by I 'realize' that I'm driving. Time goes INCREDIBLY slow and the moment your in seemingly keeps restarting. And you realize again "Oh Im driving". "Omg Im STILL driving". "STILL driving". And this happens atleast 50 times in a row and you cant get out of it. Anyone experience this?
Yes!!!!! literally exactly what i’m experiencing in my depersonalization! i’ll be walking to the kitchen to get food and as soon as i arrive at the kitchen i’m like did i really just walk here? did that even happen? it’s been a month now from suffering from depersonalization from weed
literally me
I feel that way when i get stoned hahaha
I used to have this often and in those moments I needed some seconds to recognize my surroundings again. Once I stood in the kitchen holding a flipper and forgot the movements I needed to do to use it. Or I was in the bathroom and suddenly expected the exit to be on the wrong side and got disoriented. I needed a few moments to actually get out and my bathroom is really small. My boyfriend sat in the living room and was confused that I was so confused and sometimes you cannot even describe these strange twists to others.
After lots of therapy I don’t get these “fall out” moments often anymore and the distortions in my vision have decreased. I guess it does get better somehow but still nothing is real and I don’t exist. Although I do feel like I am somehow getting closer to that non-existent something. Because it has to exist behind this fog. You know?
Perhaps you are a boltzman brain, sorry not sorry for giving you existential crisises if you look up what that actually is
Being diagnosed with DID, BPD, adhd, and having an Infj personality type etc.. these videos and quora are the only way I genuinely come to connect with people and learn more about myself other than my off again on again therapy sessions. Thank you.
Look up pastor Eddie turners testimony there’s nothing wrong with you
Recently been going through this because of my depression, glad I found this to explain to people how I feel. It was so hard to explain.
Look up pastor Eddie turners testimony or I tried phycadelics as a Christian and what I saw shocked meb
With my derealization, I feel sometimes like I'm dreaming constantly. Like time feels slow and lights seem either too bright or too dim.
Same
Do u smoke
Same bro i Love you
i fee like this when im drunk lol
Feel it is hen I’m sick usually with a 100+temp
I often feel like some camera man. I feel like I just don't have any impact for what is going on around me and all I can do is watch.
It feels as if everything is one thing rather than separate objects. There are no longer "rooms", "inside" or "outside", "this" or "that", it's all just one infinite 3D thing with different shapes and colours that have no meaning. It feels like you're in a different, alien dimension. When I would first get it I was extremely terrified, it felt like my entire life would suddenly be violently torn away from me and I was left with just an infinite void of meaningless and insanity.
One of the best things to do is not think about it. Keep yourself busy.
Exactly! When I was really little before I knew what it was called I used to say I felt like a camera recording a movie.
same, sometimes you'd see me cooking, shitting, eating but i'd look completely out of it, since i feel like im moving somewhere else, like in another body. i'd see things meant to be blurry but completely seeing it clearly. i feel like its all so repetitive like a script code, and i'm an auto afk machine. I can sometimes feel that i'm seeing things not meant to be in my pov, third person, second, first.
Yeah! I always feel like I'm just watching a movie, and my eyes are the camera, but somehow I still manage to talk with people and do things, even though I feel completely detached
yeah exactly. I feel like I'm watching it in 3rd person
Tip: Dp Dr symptoms do NOT get worse. You will not go crazy. You are NOT alone. I’ve been dealing with this for a month now and Im learning to not fight it but to live with it and not think about it as much. I hope this helps someone.
I tried to not think about it, just like you. It was ok, but recently I get very stressed, and it became only worse. I cannot stop thinking about it, I feel like I’m going crazy. And I’ve had it for much more than a month…
@@simagelfandyou need to fight the cause, not the symptom. Mine has gotten a bit better after I get treated for my anxiety and depression, tho it still returns when I relapse sometimes.
Been dealing with constant derealization for 10 years. I wish I knew the way out…it’s affected my life in ways I can’t even explain.
I am so sorry for you and I am very scared now..
I feel like a small part of me is in real life, but the rest of me is stuck in some non existent void
Same!
True ! Me too
Same
so true same
Rod Serling Same! I feel like only my voice in my head is real....
I'll just be in my bed and then suddenly I'll be like "damn I'm actually living, this is my only life." And I'll just cry. It's very scary and unsettling. It ruins my whole day when it happens.
These past few weeks I’ve been worried asf about dying. I know I still got a whole lot of years ahead of me but the thought of dying and my whole life just going blank after this. Will I even see god or will I go to limbo? Hell? What happens after this? I’m so fucking scared 😭
I don't know what to do for you man, I feel the same. But you need to go to the doctor, tell them, go to a therapist. It will help. I promise, you are ok.
We can be twinsies :)
omg I know exactly what you're talking about this happens to me too
I had months where I couldn't stop thinking about it and it got really bad as it got closer to christmas and there was about two weeks where i just kind of blanked out because it got so bad. I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that i was gonna die some day. All i remember from those two weeks is christmas day and baking cookies a few nights before.
this usually happens late at night when I can't sleep. I usually try to sleep closing my eyes and relaxing my body and then it happens like I watch at the blanket that cover my body and think about the fact that I'm living like I'm watching a film and my eyes are the camera
It’s very nice to know that other people feel the same way as I do. Sometimes I look at my hands and I realize that my life is actually on, and I’m actually living and functioning and that’s my only purpose. Like I’m only here to breathe, and eat and sleep.

Same
Thank you so much, this has been happening for a week I think mainly due to stress and I almost started bawling my eyes out in class from it, I think I was just so scared and it made me stressed out even more, now that I know there are thousands of people who feel the same way it makes me feel more comfortable
Started crying during this, I thought I was alone in these feelings.
Me too
Tbh im having fun not feeling real
bulistickife360 yo wait a couple weeks, you’ll feel super alone super soon 👍
Aye is that varsity
It rly do be like that
I don’t wanna be the self-diagnosed, but dude it’s difficult to ignore the fact that I experience at least 80% of what you mentioned
Same, but I have experienced this chronically since childhood
Same and for me it’s been slowly building up for a few years
daa
I mean, derealization and depersonalization are symptoms (although they can be there because of Depersonalization/Derealization disorder). I personally experience them as symptoms from my anxiety and depression.
@@jamieisnotokay3298 I'll delete this comment if I'm talking shit. I feel really ashamed around my Parents and staff generally. It's one of only a few Emotions I've been able to feel the last 5 approx months. The others being: Apathy, confusion, regret, sentimentality, pain, and fleeting joy. I struggle to come to terms with not hearing Feedback from anyone 4 so long, Sincerely. So I've reinforced my putting Self down into myself.
ive been experiencing both of these for about three weeks straight. it gets better and worse, with both derealization and depersonalization, but it hasn’t gone away completely. when you have either or both chronically, you can also feel severe fatigue, which isn’t mentioned in this video. its the worst part of it. everything is so much harder to do. i was a daily marijuana user for about four months straight, and one night it threw me into such a bad panic attack that I had to go to the er. when I got there, i expressed to them that i had really bad anxiety normally, but this was the first time I had ever had anxiety from marijuana. the medical staff laughed at me when they didn’t think i could see/hear them anymore. i was so convinced that i was going to die that it threw me into this state where i felt everything and nothing at the same time. there in that moment, i couldn’t express what i was feeling because i wasn’t sure how to describe it, but now that i can almost think with a level head, it’s exactly this. it’s incredibly hard to deal with, and if you’re going through it you’ll find it gets harder by the day. the constant fatigue, the dizziness, the sinking feelings, the disregard for emotions. i came back to my parents house after the initial incident, and i felt like i didn’t know my family. my family had always been everything to me, so in my opinion thats probably the second worst part. i’ve discontinued all drug use, tried to seriously limit stressors and anxiety, and set up therapy. the hardest thing to do, which you have to do to get out of it, is be patient and not obsess over the condition. when you’re constantly worried if its getting better or when it will get better, it won’t. if anyone has any questions or tips for someone who is currently experiencing this, please feel free to ask.
Look up pastor Eddie turners testimony
i became like this for years and still going, i'm literally a walking dream machine. Can understand but things come to mouth before going through my mind thats how it feels, sounds insane but im ok with this, i may recover in the future pieces of emotions that broke, or find someone who will trigger these things, but at this point i think its better to be like this, such emotions as love come with psin so for me, i don't want to risk it all for something that will make a worse me, maybe if i get s point where i can tank and prepare to manage emotions that are sleep, i will look for them, otherwise in this sad world we live in, its better to be disconected from most of it, so you don't suffer or care that much.
I have had this for 6 years, its been so long I no longer remember how feeling „normal” was like. Got diagnosed last month, hopefully it gets better
Same here , I feel my body is shut down
Look up pastor Eddie turners testimony
A bad part that can drive you insane even more is when you try to explain to people and nobody cares or acknowledges it, makes you confused even more..
What’s worse than your feelings not being acknowledged is people belittling or ridiculing them.
"Help me man!"
The first person I told was my best friend and she thought I was overreacting and fake self-diagnosing. I also told my therapist and she was saying there is no way to actually get diagnosed which is weird cause this video literally just said there is. It just feels like no one actually understands it.
I don't usually care about people's like that, exception for my family because it's pitiful for me. Think about this:
A person who doesn't think of others don't know how to think to themselves nor understand themselves.
okay so yall have frickin cartoon profile pictures there's no way you can tear your reality apart and fully convince yourself that everything we know is a lie. Cause I fuckin think elves are all around me and geometry and shit. not to mention me crouching in the kitchen
The worst is when people don’t know that they are not alone...
That's cuz our education system programmed us to think we're all different...
I thought I was the only one that had this for forty years I really don't know what the answer is and anxiety medicines work but doctors are hesitant to give them and I'm getting scared that my doctor will take me off of it talk therapy does not work🙏
That’s what I feel like
@@galemiller7422 sadly I agree :/ I've started taking prozac 3 months ago bc therapy did not work for me
Honestly i always thought it was just me because when i told my doctor about this at a young age, all she did was tell me “but you can’t believe symptoms that google gives you” its so hard to be taken seriously when even professionals dont care enough to help you
This was so helpful it felt overwhelming that what I've felt for so long was described so clearly.
good bro, am just 13 and am feeling like i already had enough from this life because of dpdr

I used to have this when I was younger (late teens to early 20s) the way I learned to cope is that I realized that it was happening. It was extremely hard to battle but I just kind of would have to breathe through it and focus on things that were happening around me. I would try to find things I could ground myself with. A lot of those things had to be physical (lifting weights, playing an instrument, etc). Over time I made them habits and they helped bring me back to reality. It has been years since I've experienced derealization thankfully. This method doesn't work for everyone obviously, but it helped ground me and helped me realize that what I was doing was real and that those were my own actions and not a dream. I also found that when I was extremely exhausted the symptoms would appear, so sleeping definitely helped as well. I understand that some people have it way worse than others so my sympathies go out to everyone that is still struggling. I hope that you may find ways to cope and are able to live your life again.
Look up pastor Eddie turners testimony
Playing instruments and just being able to go outside in nature has been my main source of grounding when my thoughts start to feel like they're getting too heavy/overwhelming, or I know this sounds silly but always being trapped in a state of mind where you're continuously contemplating your existence or just life while the world keeps constantly moving around you. I'm so glad I saw this. Thank you.
@@runningafterclouds3519 Thank you for sharing, I am glad that you're able to ground yourself. May you continue to do so when times get hard.
I've struggled with derealization since I was in early grade school. I use to keep my favorite stuffed animal in my backpack so it was on hand to keep me grounded. Touch always helped me and being able to snuggle with my stuffed loin help better then a trip to the school counselor. I hope this helps anyone who is currently struggling or knows a child who is. You are not alone

The worst thing about this feeling is that you can't love the persons who loves you or enjoy your life or live it.

did anyone ignore their gut feeling... and do something bad. or think something bad.
. that made this happen?
Exactly. Every time I interact with someone it's like I'm not even there and I can't feel anything. It is terrifying. I'm not diagnosed with derealization, but I strongly believe it is what I've been experiencing for the last year or so. I just have to find the courage to go and seek help, but it's like my body refuses this as a possibility. Like it's emotionlessly saying that I don't need it. It's getting kind of scary to be honest, but I still think that this is great as a copinig mechanism and I can't bring myself to even actively desire to get rid of it. I dunno if that makes any sense. Does anyone feel like this as well?

I relate to this so much. I wish I could snap out of this.
I am so relieved that I found this, I thought I was the only one with these crazy thoughts. I’ve been through this at a young age for a week or two, and it has come back. Sometimes in the middle of the day, I watch myself thinking about how I can see everything in the first person, our brains are crazy...
I had one of the most severe cases of this I had ever had . Had to admit myself . I was on the brink constantly . Thankfully talking to people and keep going on with each day helped me so freaking much. To anyone struggling IT GETS BETTER . I have severe PTSD and that got better to . I know you all will just believe even if you can’t function rn . I have been there

I hope you get better. It's possible that at some point it will go away.

it will definitely go away, the worst thing you can do is worry about it xx
@@aliciaf4744 i promise it won't be forever, i thought the same thing. Please try not to worry and stress about it. The best thing is to try accept the feeling rather than resisting it
Emily Mahady thankyou x yeah at the moment i‘m trying to not think about it, but i‘m even more out of it because i‘m not actively trying not to feel zoned out (if you get what I mean lol) - I really hope it does get better but I’ve seen so many comments of people who’ve suffered from it for years and years
I'm always living in a world inside my head and never in the real world. I don't know what that is. I've been like this my whole life.
That honestly sucks so bad. When I had depersonalization and derealization, I felt so fake and it made me feel so depressed. It's gone now but I can't imagine having it lifelong

I Love how Psych2Go tells everything in such a calm pleasant way! It's very healing and beautiful to listen to. I have struggled with symptomes of both depersonalization and derealization. It can occur from moment to moment but it's key to stay calm and focused and to let go you're feelings. I know intense feelings can feel very strange at first, but with progression and enough will power you can win this battle.
I learned a lot this week! I just got over my depersonalization! I haven’t been feeling like myself since i can remember 😅. I’m starting to feel truly happy
how did u do it
Look up pastor Eddie turners testimony t
I feel like I’m in the world but not entirely apart of it. It’s terrifying.
Do you still feel these feelings? or is it gone, now i have drealization i'm just scared dude

@@tekmerus2714 how u doing now ? I just started having this tonight. But I’m over thinking I just need to relax. Hope ur doing better! Scary huh? Just came outta know where
Me too and i hate feeling like this.
I've had derealization since sixth grade...
It feels like I'm in a simulation with "characters" and there's no exit button. Things as simple as fruits can look so strange to me at this time as well.
Were you under stress?
Me too, these past couple years have been going too slow. Time feels so stretched out and distorted
@Hugh Jones its a very different feeling, u know everything is real but dont feel like everything is real
I know this just looks like a comment on video to you, but i assure you i am a real person with real thoughts and experiences. You aren't alone in the world.
Worst thing about dpdr disorder is that you can't feel beautiful things. Like , if you're trekking to some beautiful natural place or an exceptionally beautiful fountain in some skyscraper city ,
You can't feel shit.
It just seems like you're watching some CZcams video in high quality and shit.
This is what I fucking hate fucking most about this shit.
Even if I'd bought a luxury , car , it doesn't feels much amazing than simply feeling like you're in a moving box.
And it's constant. Since years it's been fucking constant.
I've now started to feel it as normal and think that's how my life's gonna be.
My emotions are numb.
Yeah but i can feel and understand people's feelings but not their emotions.
It's literally made my brain numb.
So glad I am not alone in this and I found out what it was.
I think I have a combination of both. I have had it for 6ish YEARS now and it gets worse when I am in stressful/emotional situations. The fact that it will never go away stresses me out a lot.
I need a therapist or a healer to fix this.
Thanks for all the info tho :)
I've been fighting what seems like a losing battle with depersonalization for about two years now. ive been struggling with a violent addict in the family who I care about and I've had to see them constantly interchange between either a hospital prison or just on and off the the street. I feel like I can help them but it feels like the more I care the more I get hurt when they relapse again. this has made me feel like I have been slowly losing grip between myself and reality. I've looked towards my parents toblean on support for this but I live part time with my mother and father due to one of them working abroad most of the time, I feel like I can't vent towards my mother since she is also recovering and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder. whenever I watch videos like this it helps me come to terms with a struggle that I have a hard time putting into words and gives me a small glimmer of hope for a better near future.

Sometimes it feels like i'm the only real thing in the whole world. That everything around me is fake, empty somehow. It's a terrifying, lonely feeling.
omg i never knew someone else felt this way. for me sometimes when i haven’t seen my friends in awhile the feeling is even stronger. i feel like i’m the only person on this planet and it’s mind boggling that other ppl exist and they have an entire life.
Same thing here, I thought I was the only one
Or like everything is a dream , and that you need to wake up , nothing is real and the only thing that is mildly real is you .
Omg saaaame it freaks me out
Soooo glad im not the only one, its been 5 or 6 month since it started. It just sometimes comes randomly. I feel like everything is fake im the only one real. Soo scary
THANK YOU 🙏 You saved my life . I finally got to know what’s happening.
I had derealization for 4 months after a bad high i lived in constant panic thinking I would be like this forever.
To anyone new to this it will eventually go away, stay strong.

Please do more about dissociative identity disorder. The illness needs more awareness
It does.
People also need more awareness of abuses of patients by the psychiatric profession.
Agreed. I don’t talk much about my diagnosis of DID because of how often people misunderstand... But DID sufferers experience both depersonalization and derealization so it’s a step in the right direction.
HERE’S THE FINAL CURE!!
I had it for 5 years. Tried all sorts of pills and etc. , I tried this and I'm finally curing depersonalization/derealization. methodderealization.blogspot.com
This is different from dissociative identity disorder, which is when one has multiple identities ( or alters ), but is still part of the three dissociative disorders.
Hi beautiful people! I “suffered” from this in 2021. The only way of resolving it (in my personal experience) was to stop viewing it in a negative light and to surrender to it! The more I fought it, the worse it got. I got to a super low point of suffering and worrying until I stopped. Once you stop worrying, and live a healthy lifestyle, surrendering to the present moment, it all will disappear. Have faith people!
I was having derealization when I was at a retreat when a teenager. Everything felt almost dreamy and my hands didn’t feel like mine. I felt this way and ran into the bathrooms, then having an anxiety attack because I didn’t know what was going on and why I was so dizzy. I didn’t rlly understand that I had derealization and I didn’t know how to explain to my friend why I was crying bc- i didn’t rlly know how to answer it. Watching this video and hearing you describe it makes the memory and feeling more clear now. Love your videos!!💖💖💖

"Is this me"?

Very numb feeling it was.
I haven't experienced this much but I understand what you mean, its like you're in the passenger seat
@@dakshs9528 been there. It's almost as if your super realizing that you are in fact, a living, breathing human. Almost panic inducing tbh. If you take a second, and think about where you are in the world(as in telling yourself that your real) it's almost as if a flush of anxiety runs over you because you tried to wrap your head around existing without a purpose.
HELLBOY5232 you said it perfectly!!!
when I depersonalize it feels more like I’m in control but not really. I’m telling my arm to move but I really have no control. It feels like a tiny piece of my consciousness is in my body and the rest is just in the void
I'm in a perpetual state of derealization. My life feels like I'm playing a VR game 24/7. Heck, *actual* VR feels more real than reality.

I was diagnosed with both of these last week, and after talking to my therapist more turns I’ve had them since I was seven years old
i remember suddenly going through a derealization episode on vacation, at night. i just sat up in my bed and felt like my head was racing. i just felt like nothing was real, that i could do anything and that nobody would care if something happened. it sounds empowering on paper, but it was terrifying with those words being repeated in my head. it was like suicidal thoughts on a new level; it felt as if everything that was happening would happen forever (of course that’s true, but the idea of infinity is scary to me). i wanted a way out. i wanted to escape whatever was going on. the thing about what was happening was that i was phasing in and out of that mindset over and over again.
Please help me,I am currently having this from the past 8 months.
I also have lots of Anxiety and fears,I feel too stressed out.
You have a book on derealisation where the cardinals from Vatican have hired few writers to make a fictional writer to reveal third secret of Fatima and suppressed realities from the diary of St. Faustina. There you can actually learn about true sources of derealization, and how to destroy it completely - there is a prayer you can learn to pray that destroys derealization if you pray every day. If the prayer destroys this, then its diabolical in nature, as is schizophrenia. It is prayer of divine mercy, or rosary of divine mercy. You can find that prayer on internet, and in that book also in the first chapter. SPREAD THE CHAIN OF INFORMATION ON THIS TO DESTROY DEREALIZATION AND SET THE CAPTIVES FREE.... if it helped you then spread the chain of this book....rosary made me free from derealization completely... thats what makes a difference - when you have a derealization you just know that you can never break free from it, and when this prayer frees you once, and you get that opposite feelling that you just dont have it anymore, then you can see how wrong you were, and that something was done to you......................................

Yeah happened to me at work a couple times. One time it so hard I had to go back to my car and calm myself.
I am about to burst into literal tears. The feeling that this all might be a trick to make me think I'm real or everything around me is real is killing me. I can't understand why I'm like this. Sometimes I will write something wrong or prepare myself to talk to someone about how I feel, but I am completely shut down by myself insisting that this is all probably fake anyway. Sometimes it does feel real, like 'Wow I am actually a breathing sentient being' or 'Wait everyone around me isn't fake?' because sometimes I am convinced no one exists. Thank you for this.
I love the way you speak, you really give me hope. I like your voice very much. Good luck to you ♥️
I don’t feel like everything is a dream, it’s that nothing feels real.

honestly i don’t even know wtf i have anymore, i just don’t feel real. i know i’m real, i know i exist, but it feels like nothing around me is real. none of my actions feel like they have consequence, nobody i talk to feels real. it’s like it’s just a movie, or a dream, and at any moment i can just wake up. everything just looks like a pop-up-book.
not to mention, i really need help figuring out something that’s genuinely driving me crazy; i always feel watched. non-stop, every day, all day. it gets so bad that i have to hide under blankets or towels to avoid it, it’s like i’m constantly on a stage in front of hundreds of people. please give me a reason that this could be happening, and no, i cant seek out any help. i just need a reason so i can live normally for once.
Every time you think someone’s watching you, you add your own observation to the list. Then the person under the sheets who is thinking about all the staring eyes is really just looking at themselves.
The crowd will get stronger and bigger unless you can take hold of who you are. I don’t understand why help isn’t available to you but saying it’s not there’s a few things that can help calm people down:
Just have a drink of water - hydrate and breathe, become your most natural shell.
Don’t try to assess the rationality because clearly you know it’s not rational and that fear of being irrational probably exacerbates the original fear. It’s like the fact you can’t sleep if you think of sleeping. Instead, try to imagine the thoughts your having as a river, a moving image that started without true cause. Being in the moment and just letting these thoughts be in your head without giving them weight, but just acknowledging it’s existence it will eventually subsidise.
Sometimes it won’t and you’ll have to outlast the episode. I’m not sure what grounds you. For me, I used to become completely disillusioned and I would just tell myself it’s a time game - wait it out, I know who I am, this is just something that has attached itself to me but isn’t me.
If none of these things help just know that there other people in the world in your shoes who got through it. We know it’s possible. I know it’s possible.
Good luck, I hope you can reattach because I can tell you want to.

I experienced this when I was in grade school, I feel like I'm not in control of my body but I'm aware of what I'm doing. It occurred more than 3 times as I remember because it always brothers me until now for what was that.
This type of event often happen to me when there's a lot of people around with a loud sound, sometimes when there's an On and Off blinking of light arround me.

What do U mean? Like you were defending yourself from your emotions or your situation or?
That defense mechanism doesn't help me most of the time because I think we should experience the disconnected feeling in moderations but I experience 24/7 even while typing this comment...

@@dryingpaint what was their comment
@@Ikinsyntheticpeople they said 'this is a dream. We're all trying to get you from the coma. Wake up. We're waiting for you' or something like that.
I have struggled with these things. When I was little my mom used to hold "unsaid" rules and by the time I got to figuring them out and fallowing them she would change them again. I was never allowed to use my mental disability as "an excuse" for not being able to do something.
Along with always even as a young child not feeling like I belonged in this world. The ways that the world or society functioned was wrong and extremely confusing. I could later learn to understand or comprehend these factors like racism, but I still could not FEEL like this is how things were supposed to be. Thus, my mom used to say that even with my mind "wired" differently, that my "reality was not this reality". So, that got me thinking about relativity of reality vrs perspective. I still to this day have more vivid memories of other worlds or life times that to me are more real than the ones I have had from this one.
This factor has made growing up, interacting, functioning to this worlds structured resignation of existence extremely difficult.
Recently I have discovered in my medical records that I am classified as having MPD.
I grew up around skitsophrenic(sp?), bipolar, cracked out, and strung up people from many cultures and backgrounds like military. So, I am very aware about the treatment from society and government to such people.
I know that I choose to dis like the majority of human society, because I choose not to associate with such a horrible destructive parasitic race.
Every individual has the capacity to do better, but constantly resolve themselves to fallowing the rest of society, due to feeling constrained into that life style willingly or not.
Does this make those individuals stepping outside of the constraints something to be shunned, classified as some ambiguous term just to segregate them out and remove them from the status quo? Or to even have society treat them any less valuable/wanted?
Why is it accepted that people with conflicting mindsets are to be removed or treated like they are a plague?
These accepted behaviors and reactions are the exact reason why I flipped out when I found out they classified me as having MPD. These are the same reasons WHY I personally feel that I do not belong to this "HIGHER RACE".
Am I the only one?
Is it right to reprogram my thinking to that of accepted standards?
Is it not one of the first things we are conditioned to reject?
Why has no one ever explained just how harmful it is when society does these things and is not held accountable for it?
Why is it so acceptable for people to claim such radical identity differences and yet still treat those struggling to amalgamate into societal existence as though they will always be a substance abuser?
Why do they not put more emphasis on mental health in school systems as children?
When will this "ADVANCED SPECIES" evolve past this horrendice(sp?) act???
What age of yet another world reform will it take to eliminate this discrimination?
All the red tape, paperwork, trials, political rulings, chosen information provided continue this practice beyond the capable applications provided in this current day and age, only to further this abuse of one another.
These videos are critical and should be integrated into common day society for the betterment of all HUMAN kind.
Thank you for your time, and I hope that others which read this will understand I am not trying to start a debate war in this chat. However, I would like to know others opinion on these matters if possible please. Thank you! Be safe! & if you can enjoy a few simple things in life each day.

Sometimes I feel like I am in an RPG game in first person view. It's really weird. I feel like I'm floating and nothing is real.

Same, but i willingly wrote this comment. Guys we gotta keep this in mind: we still wrote the comments. Hold onto your sanity.
i needed this
Yesssss yesssss YESSSS.. I AM STRUGGLED WITH THIS FOR YEARS.. I didn't know for a long time that there was even a name for this I would try to explain it to my doctors or healthcare professionals and I wouldn't really get a response which sucks and is very lonely and scary so I did my own research.. my doctors kept saying oh this is typical when you have severe cptsd (which is complex PTSD which means you have had several traumatic experiences throughout your life whereas with PTSD it's one or two severe experiences) but I always felt like something else was going on.. going to mention this again to my doctor well my psychiatrist.. I always felt like I was either in a dream or I wasn't real or I am separate from my body.. the point where it is brought me to severe anxiety and panic attacks and causes me to isolate because I it's very hard for me to interact with a lot of people I'm an introvert anyway but it has been happening for a long time and it definitely takes a toll on my life and it makes me have a lot of difficulty controlling my emotions or even sorting out my thoughts and emotions... And this video makes a lot of sense as to the causes of physical abuse emotional abuse death of a loved one without closure and just also having a sociopathic mother who has tried to harm me several times to the point where I had to get a restraining order and we have not talked in a very long time I have a ton of trauma.. thank you for these videos they help a lot because I know what's going on and I know that there are others out there like me and I don't feel so singled out so thank you again.. also do have a seizure disorder but this started happening to me before I had seizures but they did get worse all my mental illnesses got worse after having seizures.. I have not had a seizure in 11 years which is great those were really very scary I had over 45 in a year with eight concussions at least..
Sometimes I just can’t get back to reality and I look down on the world like I don’t know what it is.
I have depersonalization. I noticed it when I was in my 13s. Some things that help is looking in the mirror a lot so you can get used to how you actually look like and it doesn't feel like you're a stranger. When you feel numb or feel like you're not in control of your body, rub your hands together and be aware of the things you touch so that you can see you're in control and feel things.
That's a great strategy!
I find that looking in the mirror actually makes it worse, cause it reminds me of the feeling that I'm the reflection of myself rather than myself.
@@cracksdhead i feel same as you
@@archival_cryptid I know a better way to use mirrors.
Get a small mirror (handheld) and look at things through it! Get close to the mirror and look around you through the reflection. Don't look at YOUR reflection, look at THINGS. Your brain should be engaged because you don't typically see things inverted. That means it's actively processing your surroundings. It's not a cure, but it provides some sense of REALIZATION. Haha
@@archival_cryptid Also, search up Wake Therapy. This here is gold!
Basically sleep deprivation does stuff to your hormone levels and "resets" your brain. It isn't a cure. Usually it's for depression, but it has done wonders for my dissociation. Once you snooze, you lose as your hormones return to their base levels. I stay up with the help of a strong dose of coffee at night.
Once again I really, really recommend you look into this! And try it!
OMG YES WHEN EVERYTHING FEELS SO CLEAR. it’s so strange it’s like my vision gets so much more clear. i cant even explain it 2:00
To have come across this video and now understand what I've went through is pretty interesting. I was able to get out of it in a way, but I still forever have a sense of it. It's really not a bad thing since it actually gives me a mindshift and makes me appreciate things more and just changes how I live. I see it as more of a blessing than a curse. However that's just me. I've also now have control of my entire body and how it reacts, I'm able to literally zone people out and look like I'm paralyzed when I'm not on command. It's very useful for cutting off people that are annoying or just straight up being a jerk. No one tries to hit someone that is looking like they are having some sort of mental breakdown without saying anything. It may sound selfish or being a jerk to do that, but keep in mind the people that see that are usually pretty bad. Sometimes I accidentally do it and I just feel like an observer, I'm able to recollect everything said and happened around me but not say anything. This is where my flaws come in however. While I have the ability to cut off people very quickly and I'm quite smart in certain areas. I have really poor memory. I don't have any known case of severe memory loss or issues but I swear I do. It just makes my life somewhat confusing but also exciting every time. Well as exciting as you can get when you've done it over and over again. It's like a big reset button, you feel like you were reborn over and over again, already set in motion by subconscious programs that help you guide you when you don't know what to do. If this sounds scary to you then you don't understand how blissful it is when you are actually in it. Be able to forget is actually pretty important when you don't want to go back into what ties you into a knot to a bunch of weights that will never leave. Besides all of that, I am a very awkward person at times but I am psychologically smart, I know how people feel at times and can help others that are having issues. If I became a therapist it would actually be something I would enjoy, I do like helping people when they are in need for support, however I don't like being made fun of for not always responding to social cues and stuff like that. I can get along with people with autism and other "syndromes and disabilities." The reason why I quote that is because they aren't disabled, and if they are it's only in certain physical parts, but many of them are super smart. Smarter than me, and I feel like I have 140-145 IQ while normal people are at a 50 IQ because of the dumb things they believe in. Like bigotry in any aspect, and stupid stuff such as child predators and those other sickos. Some of those can get help until they actually commit to their sick fantasies, just like a person thinking of murdering. Either way there's a lot of things I don't get when it comes to society and how people view the body but not the mind first. I personally believe that there is more than a fleshy body and organs, there is something else inside and it's not just the brain nor heart. So I don't get why most people judge looks over mind as I've said, I think people should stop identifying themselves with their brain or body but as a multiple headed interconnected person. Enough of my rant though, that's just what I think and I'm glad this video is covering something that can be detrimental.
can i get help?
@@SonOfAssur Yes, most would say to go to therapy, I did it without it and it's not really a threatening thing that used to bother me a lot anymore. Maybe talk to people that you care about, like friends and family. If you have no one to trust sometimes just sitting there thinking about what bothers you and why it does can help. I'm no professional so don't take my words with great value, I've just experienced heavy symptoms of both things they talk about in the video, I still find it a bit confusing to put into words sometimes. So yeah, whatever suits you, go and try it out.
@@topeo3691 thanks for the information!
i just wanted to tell you if you also cannot regonise yourself, the place your in and your family.
I have both of these disorders and it's really hard on me. Unlike depression where you can breifly forget it, you can't ever breifly get rid of DP and DR. It is going on all the time everyday and it makes it so hard to live life. I also do have depression and anxiety. It feels like I'm not a real person and my feelings don't exist.
Ill give you the cure.
You'll feel better once you stop watching these. Stop researching. Your brain is tired. You need to stop looking at this. Just forget about depersonalizatoin and it will forget youn
Digital Doughnuts I love you
@@skimask_5074 love you too. Just embrace the feeling and STOP watching these. It will loose its power

Digital Doughnuts wow thanks im cured

This vid was very helpful as I've only just started having moments of both of these things and I was worried as I didn't know what to do but now I kind of do
It feels like my whole life is a dream and I'm in a coma and sometimes it feels like I'm living in a movie
This happens to me when I look in the mirror for too long
Omg, yes!!! It is so trippy and scary!
Yes like your brainwashed
Nah, thats not it, everyone feels like that looking into a mirror for too long
Omg same I felt like I was the only one who felt this.
That's when I had my first experience
I’ve had derealization issues for about 6 months now but it doesn’t come in episodes. It never stops. I am the most stressed I’ve ever been in my life and I’m going through a lot of changes. I’m 19, I just finished EMT school and passed my test and I have an interview with a local fire dept very soon and I am filled with stress, not to mention my twin brother is in Okinawa Japan in the military and this is the first time I’ve been without him for a long period of time. With all of this stress I’ve started practicing grounding techniques and the one that helped the mot was ditching social media and limiting phone usage. My brain is having trouble deciding whether my on screen life or my outside life is the real one and its messing with my head. I’m still always out of it but it has become far less extreme since I’ve started limiting phone usage and dealing with my stress. It just feels like it’s never going to end and that deters my efforts in fixing it sometimes. But I won’t stop moving forward👍🏼
im actually diagnosed with derealization today..
Look up pastor Eddie turners testimony
amazing vids as always
