I just want to say thank you for all that you do. Thank you for the manual. Last year was the scariest time of my life due to DPDR. But thanks to you, I purchased your manual, it helped me with my anxiety and I recovered.
you have no idea how much gratitude I have towards you, I don’t think you realize how much you’re helping people.
Hey Amanda, thanks so much for your comment and I'm delighted to hear that you've recovered 😊 And if you'd ever like your story to be featured on the channel just drop me a line and we can arrange it. Keep up the good work! 😊
Hey, happy to hear you feel better. Can I ask what steps you took to get out of it? Did therapy help? Would love to get in touch. Cheers :)
As a DP suffererer, all these recovery stories are so helpful and inspirational. Thanks so much Shaun!
So glad to hear that Josh! 😊
Really love that you help so many people Shaun and your advice is sound. People need to believe they can get better. It's the continuous living and allowing anxiety and DpDr to be that makes it go away rather than constant checking in and hoping it's gone or worse being afraid of it. Its truly harmless yet annoying
Well said, and I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! 😊
Omgoodness. You guys just saved my life.
Glad it was helpful! 😊
@Depersonalization Manual hey! My name is Robyn. I am in the middle of one rn, and it's due to bad meds and repeated reexposure. Please pray for me. Be cautious w those new meds for MDD. God help us all. I should be off the census, sir. I am still very ill from the MDD meds and can get no help. Can y'all please pray for my Kids and I?
@@emojichick4408 how are you now, I was stung by meds too.
Great job Mackenzie! Very informative.
thank you!
@@itskenz1448 I’d love to get in contact with you!
I had my first DPDR experience when I was 13. Thank you Mackenzie for sharing your experience!
My dad died suddenly during Covid, leaving me as an orphan with no family members on earth. I smoked as I usually do and it always helped me but on this day I had a total meltdown and I thought I was dying of a heart attack. It was the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me and it took a very long time to realize that it was the DPDR and not the weed. It’s been two years and I finally stopped the DPDR but I had to change a LOT of things about my life - food, caffeine, exercise - that were never a problem before. I’m not 100% but it was HUGE finding out what the problem really was ❤
Thanks so much for your comment Rosario -- I'm very sorry to hear that your father passed away and that you had such a difficult time with DPDR. But that's great that you were able to identify the condition and make the changes to start to feel better. Keep up the good work and enjoy your recovery 😊
I’m sorry about your father. I had a similar recovery experience, where I acknowledged it was the depersonalisation and not the weed. I also acknowledged that depersonalisation was just a symptom of anxiety or a response to it. I just tried to live a normal life again, faking it at first until I started to slowly feel normal again.
@@MrBrandonLau Thank you for your kindness. I lived in Colorado at the time and was definitely abusing the weed and had such a high tolerance that it was very, very confusing to think that was the issue. It made no sense. My second thought was that it was Covid or some medical issue. Those factors made it very hard to get a grasp on the issue. I’m finding the CPTSD recovery methods very useful because the death of my dad triggered latent childhood issues I never dealt with. On top of that, I moved across the country. There were sooo many layers to the onion. Thank goodness for channels like this and the kind comments that go along with them 🤍
Hey, happy you feel better. Can I ask you what helped you get out of it? I'm obsessing over it and am considering therapy. Would love to get in touch :)
Hey, good to hear you feel better. Can I ask what steps you took to get better and how long it took?
Shaun, I hope you will read this comment! I'm from Russia, and I was feeling DP about 2 years. I had a hard variant of DP, I lost my friends, didn't pass the exams, I thought I'm crazy or have schizophrenia! My main problem was the knowledge of solipsism... I couldn't recover because I was afraid, that reality actually doesn't exist! I was afraid that my thoughts were true, and I'm one person in universe.... But thanks to your video even I recovered!! I live very good, like I always lived! After very hard DP I live much better, that I lived before it!! I became absolutely free and self-confident, and other people can't believe that I was insecure, anxious person, which couldn't even say something! Thank you so much that you care about not only english people, but about russians too! Thanks to russian subtitles in your videos, I was able to understand your video much better! You're the best Shaun, and thanks for everything you do for people! Thanks God that once I have found your channel! Sorry for my English, I'm Russian, and my English isn't very good!
Wow, that's fantastic! 😊 Thanks so much for your comment and I'm delighted to hear that you've recovered! 😊
Привет. Я тоже русская. Как у тебя получилось преодолеть это? Ты ходил к терапефту? Боюсь, что так и останусь.
привет! я ни разу не ходил к врачу, это состояние у меня было 2 раза, каждое по полгода. выбирался сам. очень помогла книга Шона и видео, советую смотреть видео именно после прочтения книги. этот парень реально знает, о чем говорит. если в кратце, то просто не циклись на этом состоянии, не усугубляй его прочтением статей, поиском ответов, лекарств, врачей... старайся просто жить! вопреки этому состоянию делай то, что ты раньше делала, через силу. вспомни свои интересы, увлечения, начни жить так, как жила до дереализации! старайся просто принять его как временное состояние, и жить несмотря на него. поначалу будет странно, будет казаться что ничего не изменится. но если ты не будешь бесполезно размышлять об этом, снова читать статьи, искать волшебную таблетку, то всё получится! очень не советую идти к психиатру, в России вряд ли найдёшь помощи, ещё и в больные могут записать. это можно преодолеть самому, это вообще не так сложно! главное не накручивай себя и не читай нытье людей, которые годами не могут избавиться от этого. если ты реально хочешь выйти из этого, у тебя получится! срочно читай книгу Конора, если ещё не читала
самое главное помни, что ты нормальная! ни в коем случае не приписывай дереал к какой-то болезни. ты ещё глубже зайдешь, проверено. если ты ищешь решения, я уверен, ты здорова! скорее всего испытала какой-то стресс, и дереал включился как защита мозга от тревоги. чаще всего дереал это просто следствие сильного стресса. даже если причина другая, суть не меняется, методы избавления те же)
@@user-dk3ly1vo4t Спасибо за очень обнадеживающие слова! Буду к этому придерживаться. Думаю тоже, что я не больна, просто странно, зачем и как это у меня образилось. И не могу отстраниться от вопроса, почему у некоторых это не прошло, даже и в отсутсвии тревоги.
Хорошего тебе дня и продолжения!
Hi shaun! I’ve read your entire manual and so far it’s been a big help. I’ve felt a lot of symptoms alleviate, but now the most recent symptom I’ve been struggling with is the fear of death. It feel like “existential thoughts” doesn’t really encapsulate the dread this feeling entails, or maybe it’s all along the same vain? I just know that I’ve been making a lot of progress, but this seems to be the newest symptom (and worst in my opinion). Was just wondering if you had some thoughts on this specifically, and thank you for all that you do!
Omg same with me!! Wanna hop on a group call?
Thanks Shaun, recently bought your manual and starting to feel happier already! Quick question, is it normal to have brain fog/disoriented feelings on top of everything else?
Hey, thanks for purchasing The DP Manual and I'm delighted to hear that you're feeling better already! 😊 And yes, don’t worry, feelings of brain fog / disorientation are super common with DPDR. I know they can be frustrating but they will fade away and stop as you recover 😊 www.dpmanual.com/about/do-i-have-depersonalization-disorder/
I smoked my whole life until recently I never had issues after the last month or two I was having panic attacks every time I smoked so I finally stopped and after the last time I stopped which was the worst panic attack of my life I felt like I was in a foggy Haze it's been about 14 days and I'm just now starting to feel normal I still have blurry vision and anxiety physical symptoms like muscle tension and chest pains but today was the first day in the last two weeks that I was able to think clearly and be happy I guess I got lucky as some people it takes a long time I've seen I still have light chest pains and muscle tension and stomach problems throughout the day but I now realize that it's only anxiety and that it too will fade and I will be back to my old self one thing I've learned from this Sean is that I cannot smoke weed ever again 14 days to this day clean and sober and may have actually been a good thing in the long run that it happened to me your videos definitely helped me in the process
Hey Colton, thanks for your comment, I'm so glad to hear that the videos have been useful and that you're on the road to recovery! 😊
Not to be a tin foiler but don't you think maybe in recent years the stuff you're smoking is modified and weaponized in some way?. It's weird that it's more common nowadays to get mental health issues from ganja. Idk tho just a thought.
hey how are you doing now?
Had this happen to me when I was 16. I smoked weed for my second time and experienced my first ever panic attack. I’ve been stuck in a DP/DR state with brain fog and a spacey feeling ever since. It’s been 11 years and I pray every day that I’ll recover.
Don't worry, it doesn't matter what caused it or how long you've had it, you can always switch DPDR off completely by stopping the anxiety that's causing it 😊 Read this carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/how-long-does-depersonalization-last/
I struggle with the existential and death thoughts. I don’t know how I’ll ever get back to normal after all these realisations, they’ve completely depressed me! I started to recover from DPDR and it’s these thoughts that keep me stuck because they’re so absolute and there’s nothing I can do about them
Don’t worry Lara, existential / intrusive thoughts like that are super common with DPDR. I know they can be frustrating and frightening but they are also temporary and harmless and will fade away and stop as your recovery continues 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-fears-and-anxious-thoughts/
Hi Sir:
My dpdr chronic disorder is recovered.But my panic attacks are again start what i do 😞.
I am dealing with this now guys and it’s not fun. I had a panic attack due to weed and it’s been two weeks and still feeling high and numb. I need help guy
Hey Lucas, thanks for your comment 😊 Don’t worry, that all sounds like a very typical case of weed-induced DPDR to me. I know it can be frightening but remember that it's just your body and brain's natural response to stress and anxiety. It's not permanent and it can't hurt you 😊 You can and will recover. Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website at www.dpmanual.com
When i explained the mirror symptom i was described anti psychotics and they are doctors 😊 and iam making things up and have health anxiety.. eventhough i got it from ssri cold turkey
i've had dpdr for 1 year and 4 months after doing a drug once and got panic attacks for the next 6 months. Now i don't get panic attacks but still have constant dpdr and anxiety. Hardest part is not knowing how long my recovery will be and if i'm doing enough to help myself get past it.
Don't worry Jim, the fact that your panic attacks have reduced over time is a very positive sign, it means that your levels of anxiety have reduced. Keep up the good work, the anxiety will keep reducing as your recovery continues, as will all of the symptoms of DPDR. Read this carefully, I think you'll find it useful:
www.dpmanual.com/articles/how-long-does-depersonalization-last/
And if you would like to speak to a medical professional please don't hesitate to do so. I would recommend finding an anxiety specialist if possible as they will likely be more familiar with DPDR.
Had DP/DR when I was in highschool from 14-17 went away for a while, had small bouts of it on and off. Had a horrible panic attack three days ago. Next day started feeling a bit out of it but wasn’t too worried. That night got on Dr.google and convinced myself I’d go insane or have psychosis/ schizophrenia. Next morning things are much worse. Feel so disconnected from reality. Have bad migraines, hard to sleep. Super hard to focus or concentrate. I keep questioning everything like why am I walking, eating. What am I talking about this for? Stupid stuff like that. Makes me feel crazy. I know it’s DP/ DR but man it’s so rough. I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. The hardest part is the not being able to think clearly part and the time distortion. I can’t tell what time of day it is even tho in the back of my mind you do typically know. Ugh I have hope that this will go away. Gotta stop stressing about it. I’m here for anyone in these comments that wants to chat or has similar symptoms as me. Praying for all of us.
Hey Jake, thanks for your comment 😊 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 don’t worry, worries about loss of memory or time are super common with DPDR. I know they can be scary but they will fade away and stop completely as you recover: www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-and-memory-loss/
And if you would like to speak to a medical professional please don't hesitate to do so. I would recommend finding an anxiety specialist if possible as they will likely be more familiar with DPDR 👍
hey man . I feel the same as you do.
I have these exact same symptoms, how are you now?
this girl went through such a scary similar situation that i am currently still suffering with. And tonight was the night where i talked to my friend about it and she ended up sending me tiktoks of DP DR and i told her THATS IT like HOW did you find this so quickly? when in reality for a while i was too afraid to look up my symptoms myself. Then I came across Shawn’s videos and i’m currently watching my third video of his at 3AM. When she started talking about how she couldn’t enjoy music like she used too I broke down because my only comfort in this world is music and for the past 6/7 months i’ve been in a state where music overwhelms me and I genuinely can’t handle listening to anything. I could go on and on but i’ll end it here but I truly resonate with this girl. Thank you for making me feel less alone in this truly terrible state of mind. I will get out of this and I will not give up. thank you thank you thank you. ❤️

@@Dpmanual I’ll definitely look more into it. i told my doctor and she said she’d do research for me because she hasn’t heard of it before. but i told her it is very much a thing because of your videos
@@gimmeicedcoffee I'm glad the videos have been informative 😊
Question. Can dpdr symptoms change ? Doesn't always have to be I don't feel real feeling ? Or can it feel like an identity lost also ? I'm going through recovery I'm just not sure if it's all anxiety . I seem to have different symptoms or sensations. Just not making sense . .
Hey Matt! So the symptoms of anxiety / DPDR are very consistent, but what can happen is that over time we can focus on different aspects of the condition (e.g., memory issues, vision problems, existential thoughts etc) and that can feel like the symptoms themselves are changing. But essentially it’s the same as if somebody with hayfever focused on different aspects of that condition, and worried that their symptoms were changing from runny nose to itchy eyes, to sneezing etc. They are still all symptoms of the same condition, all that’s happening is that your focus on specific symptoms changes over time. But don’t worry, they are all still harmless and temporary and will fade away and stop as your recovery continues 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/back-to-normal-after-depersonalization/
Hi I was just wondering if somebody could please let me know if these symptoms are related to depersonalisation:
Blank mind
No emotions
Loss of sense of self
Not feeling connected to your body
Hi Aaron, yes, those do sound like they're consistent with DPDR. Please take a look through the lists of symptoms here and see if they sound familiar:

What other distortions? What drug did you take?
I smoked marijuana. I then had a couple of panic attacks. My visuals are all the ones I've seen before, only in an enhanced format. Tears in my eyes, a black ball on the sides when I get tired and look away to the side, and all that I have listed above. It all improves after sleep, and worsens when I'm tired. But compared to what it was, it's still okay.

QUESTION for anyone here, please please answer - I got altered internally from edibles two months ago, developed dpdr afterwards, but I want to know if my experience is anyone else's - it's not so much the external issues I have but my internal self, my old feeling of my internal self and being is altered. By that I mean I don't feel like I'm operating from the same internal place I was before the weed. I see all these weed dpdr stories but none have really experienced complete loss of inner self feeling, it's always just I felt weird, visual issues, etc Please tell me someone is experiencing this, I just want to FEEL like the way my old self felt again

Is it possible to smoke weed after recovery? was smoking for 10 years and had a bad trip on mesculine, since the dpdr and i can't smoke.. i just want to be care free and chill out, have a smoke again like normal
Ultimately the decision is up to you. I do know of some people who have made complete DP recoveries and who have safely gone back to smoking weed. However, I would strongly recommend that you avoid weed and other drugs completely at the very least until you've made a complete and 100% recovery. Also, you do need to understand that if weed triggered the Depersonalization, there's always going to be a slight risk that it could happen again. Now, once you've recovered from DPDR and understand what the condition is, it's a lot less likely to return as an ongoing condition -- because if you ever encounter the feelings again you recognize them and can allow them to pass naturally. Again, I wouldn't recommend doing it myself, but the decision is up to you. Hope that helps! 😊
@@Dpmanual Thanks, :) Going to buy you're recovery book, hoping to be you're next success story lol

Can derealization make you feel stupid?
Don't worry Amanda, concentration + memory issues are very common with DPDR which can make you feel like you're not able to follow conversations etc as easily as you normally would 😊 I know they can be frustrating but they will fade away and stop as your recovery continues: www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-and-memory-loss/
I want to ask you why this girl lasted with her for 5 months and you stayed with you for two years because of grades? Now I lasted with me for 8 months. Will I stay like this?

@@Dpmanual I read it and I'm still afraid that my feeling will continue.
@@elghazaouiamine180 Don't worry, you can and will get 100% back to normal 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/back-to-normal-after-depersonalization/
@@Dpmanual I want to ask you a personal question, could you study and focus?
Don't worry, concentration + memory issues are very common with DPDR 😊 I know they can be frustrating but they will fade away and stop as your recovery continues: www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-and-memory-loss/
Had mine from an edible
Don't worry Jon, it doesn't matter what caused it (weed / edibles etc!) or how long you've had it, you can always switch DPDR off completely by stopping the anxiety that's causing it 😊 Read this carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/what-causes-depersonalization-disorder/
