#anxiety #anxietyrecovery #dpdrrecovery - Jak na to + styl
Only time of day where I feel normal is right after I wake up, for approx 10 seconds. Then I remember that I'm not ok and the symptoms come. Proves that anxiety and these symptoms are only in your head, they're not real. They're nothing to be worried about, they will go away once you let them.
The same thing happens too me man it's like this rush of energy in the morning for a minute then you realize the anxiety is still there and it's still holding you back from thinking clearly and sharply
So true. How are you now?
@@cyphenyt7837 riight?? Just when I think I finally slept ok. I wake up thinking OH YAY!! IM OK...
get up and try to get ready .....
Nope. Here it is again..anxious and heart pounding and tired all over again. So sick of this.
@@liztowers2058do you guys wanna make a group chat and talk about this?
@@liztowers2058you guys wanna talk about it?
Even in my darkest days , no matter how hopeless I have felt with these things , it always got better. Please Remeber that.
Preach!
Are u recovered?
Are you recovered?
@@saul8633 not yet! I still struggle with existential thoughts , and jut general anxiety everyday. However it is very manageable, I no longer feel hopeless, and I’m getting better everyday
I recovered 100% but I got mine cause of weed
I use to be such a happy person, with so many goals and dreams, found joy in life, even in bad days just being able to feels emotions, being able to be present, not having any of these thoughts before, and then I had such a bad horrible panic attack triggered by weed in February and waking up a month later feeling dpdr, it just sucked the life out of me, I miss everything, being able to feel emotions, being able to have “lust” for life being present, doing the things I love, enjoying life, everything I miss and it’s been 7 months and I’ve gotten better, it’s not how it was around the first months, which felt like complete hell but I get down a lot a times now, I just want to heal and be able to see life the way it was before dpdr, “time will heal” but when ur stuck with this and can’t get out u just feel hopeless :(, I miss the me so much
brother dont worry follow shaan instruction will get better even me tried that getting better
I miss my old life too anxiety just ruined everything for me
How are you doing?
This sounds exactly like me right now I am in the seventh month of this did it get better w u
You’ve given me my life back. I acknowledge it when it occurs now. I appreciate what you do and I always come back to your videos when I feel like I can’t get over it. Your videos help me stabilize again. Thank you man
Don't be scared if your anxiety and DPDR gets worse after a while. It's normal that even in the more advanced stages of recovery, you will get hit hard again by it. Just keep on going the way you were doing, and follow the advice given by Shaan. I can also tell you that Dr. Claire Weekes (one of Shaan's biggest inspirations when it comes to anxiety recovery) assures this in her book "Hope and help for your nerves." She states that it occurs quite often that sufferers have a sudden rush of old symptoms in the end that suddenly seem to come out of nowhere. It's a normal part of the process. Good luck to everyone recovering! :)
Have u recovered?
@@saul8633 I would say 90% recovered. Still some DPDR and sensitized nerves, but I'm not getting back to work after being home for way too long. Getting back into a routine will take care of the final 10% :)
Thank you for the reassurance!
How are you feeling now? :)
@@emmabeaumusic I just picked up work again and I am soon moving house. Just realize that you will never recover if you are waiting for it. Start living and recovery will come by itself.
Nice to know to hear someone else describe what I feel. It is easy to feel like the only one experiencing this.
Thank you very very much for doing these videos, you're truly a blessing to everybody struggling with this!
God bless you 🙏 I found your videos mid August and I cans see an improvement, my panic attacks don’t last as long and not as frequent but I’ve still got a journey to go through. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou Shaan for guiding me in my recovery...I suffered anxiety over 20 years ago and recovered. it's recently returned after the birth of my daughter and covid. Just having you help guide me through is something that I greatly appreciate 🙏 thankyou for your kindness
Best way I can describe dpdr is living in a vivid dream
Amazing video, thank you so much for this. This is such a scary disorder and you gave me a lot of hope and relief. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you so much for all your videos. They’ve been so so helpful.
You are so welcome!
So I’ve learned that stress is the major trigger for my anxiety episodes. Dealing with this right now after finally cracking last week. I managed to get over the intrusive thoughts portion after a day or two because I realized what it is. I started doing some proper stress management, and it’s helped a bunch, but I still have issues with this. I have moments of clarity and I’m feeling normal, but then I can’t help but focus on the dull ache and foggy feeling in my head, as well as the feeling of being sorta detached, even some eye strain. I have an issue with over stimulation and over whelming myself and the last few months have been rough on me. But I was a year anxiety free after 8 years of hell, and then stress caused it again, and I’ve been 2 years free up until this point, and I now know I need to take stress management and my lifestyle A LOT more serious. I have those thoughts of doubt about recovering from this and feeling normal again, but I know it’s possible because I’ve done it twice. You really need to get focused on other things, obsessed even.
There’s a great book by Paul David called A Life At Last that was a major help but pretty much echos what Shaan is saying. It’s your worn out mind. It’s stressed and stress manifests as anxiety symptoms, and once those symptoms hit it can quickly turn into a vicious cycle that goes on for years.
I swear once I get through this I’m doing everything I can to not go back, and so far my protocol is helping.
It's like this, you're noticing things, thoughts and everything because your're sensitised, you're trying to escape them by doing all types of actions, you end up more sensitised, you start feeling dp/dr, ypu end up with more fear, you try to escape that along with other things that happened before that. Vicious cycle! Great video!
Shaan thank you so much for making this video's ❤
Thank you so much for this !!!
Any time!
You earned a wisdom through your anxiety experience.!!😇

Have you ever used cbd oil? If you have I want to know whether it helped you with anxiety and depersonalization
People who acquire depersonalization probably grew up with narcissistic / extremely controlling / traumatized parents, and they tend to behave like they don't have the right to occupy (psychological, emotional) space in the world. The reason you focus on these "symptoms", which are not even symptoms, but normal physiological manifestations of your emotions, is because in your childhood, 90% of your honest self-expressions was responded to like it was mean, wrong, stupid. Obsessing over non-existent mental illnesses (no offense, I am NOT stating you are a crybaby or "making this up") is a form of dissociation from your actual life. This is not a flaw of you, and it can be 100% healed, but you have to understand where you are coming from, and very important to drop your totally false ideas about growing up in a picture perfect family.
For me, its at its worst now, I have panic attacks almost daily, never feel like im the one doing things rather a robot doing them, and always feel like reality isn't real. The thing that is hardest for me is not focusing on the symptoms, because sometimes they get so bad that I feel almost obligated to focus on them, which ultimately makes the symptoms worse and makes them last longer. Anyone have any tips for not focusing on the symptoms?
What about having the DP/DR all the time on and off with out the panic attack ? I had my first severe panic attack and after that I developed it and it doesn’t go away?? It scares me that I am developing something severe or szesophrenia?
I had a slight headache and I searched up what it meant on google and it sent me straight to cancer that triggered my health anxiety and I been struggling with health anxiety for a few weeks now
Yeah -- don't google.
Probably just dehydration. Drink some water and take an advil, you'll be fine. Also try some deep breathing when that comes about.
It was really glad to watching you approached to this closer than ever. Inspiring video with more details.
Can you tell me, I'm better in sense of dpdr, people around me don't seem like a holograms, decorations 100% anymore. I have less physical anxiety. I suppose it's because of me stopped searching symptoms and cleared my histories in browser. Is it a good sign?
My biggest fear and struggles are existentional terrible fears. It seems like I've lost the sense of life, I constantly think about death, I hate space and stars there, like I don't understand what existence itself is, life seems very strange, I fear my own existence sometimes. Is it normal too or not?
Thanks!
Covered these questions in other videos as well. See my video about existential anxiety.
I relate 100% with you haha
У меня тоже такое бывает, но он сказал что эти псевдо философские размышления будут приводить к намного менее страшным и грустным выводам, если справиться с dpdr и тревожностью, насколько я понял.
I’m now reading Hope and Help for your nerves. And I love how much of a quick read is and also am learning about anxiety and its anatomy. Which is making me feel better about my condition. I am not doomed or alone after all! Thank you for creating this channel
Where is the link
This is insane I went to the eye doctor for my check up and I have been experiencing panic attacks perior to the visit because I had an eye floater and I thought I was going blind and I starting freaking out because my eyes felt like I had tunnel vision and blurred vision but I took the eye exam and my eyes where same as two years ago so I’m hoping it just anxiety causing my vision changes
incase youre still wondering, probably yes, its your anxiety causing it
How do I know if I experience dp or dr or it’s just in my mind cause of searching or fear?
What if you got this feeling of unreality and existenial thoughts after reading too much about our brain and realizing that we are just energy and we dont exist. It just clicked and now it seems like it is totally true. I didn't have a panic attack so it is not dp/dr. It is like I just figured it out myself it is like a paradigm shift in perception and now I dunno how to come back and no one talks about this.....
How you feeling now??
My dp / dr has decreased (I take medication and have practiced acceptance) but I still have existential thoughts and doubts. I feel like I live in a memory or in a circle. This is normal? Is it related to anxiety and depression?
yes dpdr is anxiety fully
Hi. Can you please do a video for people with an extreme fear of dizziness? Thanks :)
Already have - video is on my channel
Ive had DR/DP since I was 14. Had a weird turn at school one day and never felt the same. Very scary when you have this and dont know whats going on. Ive had it now for over 40 years.
Do you have it constant? And also was anxiety the cause of it ?
@@myadaibrahim8828 I do at the moment due to stress and anxiety. I think grief caused it originally
One question, is distorted hearing when putting on my earphones a symptom of dr/dp? Or like I'll hear something and it sounds like its underwater? It sounds like my ears are muffled or something. Kind of hard to explain. I just wanna make sure I'm not alone on this. It really sucks. It feels like my hearing isn't 100% or something but I know I hear things fine. I just wanna make sure I'm not frying my brain or anything lol Like is there any hearing symptoms of dp/dr that are like that?
I get this. This can happen from clenching your teeth when you're stressed. Muscle tension from stress. It can feel like cotton ball in the ear. It's annoying but gets better.
@@ChronicallyAmused Thank God! I do clench my teeth quite a bit without knowing. And definitely stressed out muscles. I've had it for a week now. Hope it gets better soon.
How are you now?
@@sinnoboy0000 Perfectly fine now thank God. I honestly think it was just water stuck in my ears.
Its normal when i had the panic attack last September which lead me to chronic anxiety, it started off with music sounding far away when i had my headphones on so i switched headphones and the music sounded like it was being played in the other room with speakers but not directly in my ear like it was. Then boom i felt myself leaving my body and a panic attack happened. And after that sometimes at night that ear thing happens again it sounds muffled especially on my left ear.
Thx. You’re right -it has not become sibo - it’s anxiety. Why won’t docs help me. I’m 60 and it’s a life long struggle.
Wow I’m feeling super detached, this is insane, I was getting better and bam setback after setback
Same for me it's horrible
Same here bro how are you?

For me the existential thoughts are the toughest Part of this. The Feelings of DPDR arend this strong anymore. But the mind is still racying Like hell
@Anony mous I began with Meditation with the Headspace App. This might help to calm the racing mind
@Anony mous Good luck! Hope you Feeling netter soon. I read a Lot of Artikels and Watched a Lot of Videos about These existential thoughts. Mindfulness and Meditation is a strong Tool to let These quentions go.
@Anony mous Yesterday was tough, but today it was okay für 95% of the time. I think it helps to calm the thoughts and with the time you learn to handle These thoughts
@Anony mous Yes I'am how did you find Out?😁
@Anony mous Nice, Autokorrektur lässt grüßen 😂. Ohne scheiß diese Gedanken sind echt die Härte ey. Was ich da der Verstand zusammen klamüsert ist es krass.
Also bei mir ist dieses unwirklichkeozsgefühl hast weg. Aber ich denk oft daran was das Leben ist und was wir hier auf diesem Planeten machen. Wie isses bei dir?
How do I cope with health anxiety
Covered that topic in other videos on this channel.
Anyone feel like they are floating , light weight, feel like they are going to pass out or fade away?? Dizzy, light headed?
Yes I felt like that everyday a few months ago, everything just felt blurry like I wasnt there. However, after focusing more on longterm freedom by accepting my symptoms and living my life anyway that feeling started to become more natural and less noticeble. Its gotten better to the point where I mainly just feel like it in my setbacks (Happens every three weeks or so, lasts for like 1 week) and they start to happen less frequently. So it really starts to get better once you stop questioning it. It is important tho to also stop comparing with how it used to and just keep pushing in a straight line. Recovery comes once these symptoms dont affect/scare you anymore.
Hello Sean.
I need to talk with you. Plz help me.
I have been suffering from severe depersonalization/derealization ever since taking a massive amount of psilocybin mushrooms (5.5 grams 🤦🏻♀️) 3 weeks ago. Friends recommended I try them to help cure the PTSD that was caused due to my beloved dog’s euthanasia a few months ago. I have a bunch of serious health issues (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, MCAS and POTS) and don’t metabolize drugs properly, so I typically stay away from them and stay away from drinking as well. My diet is meticulously clean and I’m extremely health conscious. But due to lack of sleep from the PTSD I wasn’t thinking clearly and tried the shrooms. It was the most horrific trip imaginable and I ended up with serotonin syndrome and ego death. I went to the hospital 3xs. I feel like they still must be in my body somehow because it feels like I’m still tripping. I have no idea who I am anymore and my perception is constantly fluctuating. All I want to do is go back to the mental state I was in a month ago so that I could grieve my dog’s death normally. I feel like the mushroom incident pushed my memories of her even further away and created a chasm between her and I. I feel like my memories are now going to be forever influenced and tainted by this whole experience. I feel like my dog at least existed in my brain but now my brain is fried and I can no longer access memories of her so it feels like I killed her all over again and I no longer know what is real. I’m completely disconnected from my sense of self and I used to love myself. Everywhere I go looks new, terrifying and foreign.... as if I’m seeing familiar places for the first time. 😭
How are you now?
You’re not the only one. The event triggered a massive panic attack and you got in the cycle.
I’d suggest you see a psychologist to help you with the trauma of the experience.
What about not being able to talk ? Like personality is gone and you can't respond to anybody ?
Shaan I have question! , so my question is , is it normal to have like deja vu and fatigue ? Idk if anyone else feels this but yes
Yes I feel a lot of fatigue
As a firefighter/paramedic all I see is trauma and I can’t deflate my “airbag”. 😞😞
See a psychologist to help unpack and maybe do some EMDR for the trauma.
My intrusive thoughts are past gloomy dreams..like dreams which happened during the start of the lockdown..so fucking weird..they pop out from time to time like visions
Random old dream popping into your head is called memory pops! Happens to everyone , but happens more when anxious and stress cause the brain is overactive. Plus you notice these things more when anxious:)
I thought im the only one who gets that,whew! Thanx
This is me I'm out of it DIZZY and lost feeling...take prozac 40mg and klonopin as needed .5....feel like it will never go away

i got it from weed too but 8 months later i back smoke weed even with dpdr
6 years for me too and from weed.
Super common.
I got it from weed and had it for a year, 2 months ago I got completely cured, all you gotta do is just go completely sober and wait it out( I don’t even give depersonalization a second thought anymore)
My vision is annoying as fuckkkk
The video quality is freaking me out
Im having bad intrusive thoughts
Same man as I was about to go to sleep and now I can’t
@@KevinFerreiraM it dont affect my sleep but in the whole day i have the thoughts it gets more intense in the night but when i am going to sleep it dont affect my sleep
I used to have bad intrusive thoughts for so long. But then I understood that they were just thoughts and not the reality. Doing that, your brain won't be scared of thoughts anymore.
@@diamonds7544 im not scared if i would have been scared then my situation would have been worsr you are right doing the same just accepting that it thoughts not reality they dont go away but they dont create any fear in me anymore its because we are in the state now our mind is tired now
how are u now?
