Hey, I just wanted to ask, because I see there’s not alot of talk about memory and also thinking about the future while all this is happening. Are you now able to form memories and be enthusiastic about the future?
@@banke8480 any tips ? Thanks so much for answering, it sounds silly but it’s comforting, I guess even this is a form of fighting it, 4 years have passed and I remember some things, I mainly have an issue with identity and memory and not being able to close my eyes at night and think about what I’m going to do the next week. I also have a hard time sleeping and wake up when I sleep atleast once or twice
I always think of who am I? How am I different from others? Are we not like the same machine? Who actually myself is ? How I was created and how I exists? What is soul? The sorruding enviroment and people look so weird that even I can't explain how weird it feel to me...I wonder how I see dreams...where my eyes are towards when I am dreaming...and all such weird things .......😭😭😭do any of you feel like me? I recovered 2 to 3 times from this derealization but it triggers again when I am so sad that my sadness reaches its worst.
Yes it's all sounds familiar to me. Don't worry. It will pass. Try to be happy and relaxed.. It is really hard I know but try to be distracted in entertaining activities it will slowly go away.
It’s hard Swamy! But thank you for making these videos! It gets hard when you feel like you’re getting better then it gets worse and you’re like ahhhhh what do I do now. My main symptom is feeling like I’m una VR like my eyes are VR. It’s just something that feels so UNREALLL like how is something like this possible 🙄 especially me being a hypochondriac this feels sooo much worse I assume. I’ve been doing meditation and reiki and I just have hope that it will get better ! Again thank you for what you do. 🙏🏻
you're real and alive and everything is ok you're gonna be ok something that helps me is what I call "the color game" I think of a color and say everything I see that is that color outloud to distract me
It will get better. If you can, try some body based practices as well. Like yoga, stretching, moderate exercises like weightlifting or running. In my experience, I found DPDR increased slightly after meditating. But it may be different for you. I felt like I needed to ground myself first. And body based practices help you ground yourself. But more than all of that, you've got to feel safe inside. That safety comes with time and understanding and facing your fears over and over and seeing that there's nothing really to be afraid of.
@@RealSwamyG i also feel increasing my dpdr after meditating so i left to do it 😐️ nowadays I'm trying to go with flow of life and doing normal things that i used to do in my normal life🙂 and it feels nice ..
I get the same exact symptom. We are ultimately SAFE, remember how many times you have get like that and been ok. I’m not recovered but I know that it will happen when my brain is ready. That VR feeling and poor memory are the worst for me, but we will be ok. Stay strong, keep living!

I'm 25 and been dealing with ongoing DPDR since I was 17 from Marijuana panic dissociation. I'm nearly 90% recovered but I still feel a deep subconcious connection to dpdr and it affects my life choices and my outlook on life. I still feel very apathetic and just unmotivated but I want to move on with my life. Would you recommend medication like clomipramine or lamotrigine?

hello. thank you for your video. after the pandemic, i started having dpdr i think because of a really hard family situation. it’s been really bad the past few days and i’m not sure why. i can’t even sleep. i am writing this at 3 in the morning. i sometimes feel like banging my head against a wall because of all noise in my brain. i don’t know what we did to deserve this. i hope that i can be normal again and just accept that this is real life. i’d rather just believe life is this than keep having existential crises.
Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is DPDR, so I was wondering if anyone could relate/help. It all started after a substance-induced panic attack, at first I was really feeling weird, thoughts of going crazy, the world and people looked different, so I recognized it as DPDR accepted it and moved on with life. Now, when I get in a stressful situation or stress myself out with overthinking I get "overanalytical" about the world, for example during a test I'll see the professor like a human being that has a particular role, and then I would zoom out and think about humans taking particular roles and everything would seem pointless and meaningless. A similar thing happens when I'm watching a movie, I can see the acting and can't really enjoy watching movies. Also, birds and animals seem like some biochemical machines and I really used to love them :( Is this still DPDR? Where can I restart and take the blue pill instead? Sending love to you guys xoxo
I am concerned about one point. I almost can't do the usual things and live my normal life, because everything has changed. A long-term relationship ended, my parents divorced, I'm working now at a new job, I had to move. It's a very untidy feeling. Slowly, but of course I'm getting better, but it's very hard and I think I will never recover(((
A sense of permanence. After those times of mental distress, I couldn't even imagine a positive and functional mental state. So I thought that my life would have been a mess anyway until the end. But it's not like that. The brain knows how to heal itself. It's just a very uncomfortable sensation, but even that will pass. I wish you well.
Mine came after taking a delta 8 gummy. I had taken them a few nights prior and nothing happened. Then one night while searching for a vacation spot I got hit by the worst panic attack I’ve ever had. And had felt high for 6 days. It went away for a week or so, and came back after I couldn’t remember someone’s name. (During the first few weeks of the new year, I had a cancer scare and covid. So the stress was at it’s all time high. And the anxiety was horrible so I think it call came crashing down at once.) I’m at work all day and my job literally requires no thought at all so I’m in my head all day. That’s when it’s at its worst. And it just gets Worse the more I think about it. Then I start talking to my wife and family and driving home I start to feel better. Then it comes again the next day. It almost completely went away again last night and it’s back. My symptoms are just feeling ultra tunnel vision and feeling like I’m in a dream. Just day dreaming all day long. But I’m mentally sharp and can have a intellectual conversation with people and continue to create art and play call of duty 😆 but I just ignore my surroundings subconsciously and feel like I’m dreaming. I have accepted it, I am aware and I’m safe. Just mentally exhausted and tired of it lol I have a long drive in May… 9 hours. So I’m on my path to recovery, I feel great. Just super mentally foggy and dreamy. Basically feel high 😆 Life is going to get a hell of a lot better for us all. Be patient. Be aware, learn from this. We can do anything! This channel is a gem
@peachy love I’m still off and on with dpdr. I know it’s still there. Every day I know I’m still going though it. It really ducking sucks but it will get better. Avoid stimulants and alcohol lol you’ll get better, it takes time but it will go away. We’re all in this together
my dpdr was brought on by edibles as well felt high for 2 weeks and stress made it worse and i still dont know what triggers me i will never touch drugs again. i was okay for a year and like 3 days ago it started again
Sometimes I feel I not having dpdr instead it is another else mental disorder I'm going through ..but the many symptoms of dpdr matched with my symptoms
My fear is that my vision will just become farther and farther distant the older I get. Is it possible for my vision to become so fake and far away that everything will eventually look so far away that I have no control over anything except to view everything from a distance? Another thing I have is, you talk about letting go and acceptance and all of that, but how can I do that if I don’t feel like I’m in control of my actions or movements or words? How do I tell myself to form a routine if it doesn’t feel like I’m the one doing it? These are questions no one answers.
Hey man i thought the same thing but now after 2 years of having it my unreal hazy blurry vision is correcting gradually i slowly super slowly feel a connection to reality again in terms of my vision it takes time but it fades
I have dpdr 4 months now .. i keep worrying over that this is psychosis, i DO NOT have audiotory, visual hallucination or delusions, but just living with this is so wweeiirrddd, its like i dont remember what normal feels like :(
Hi! I’ve had dpdr for about 4 months. I had all kinds of crazy worries about psychosis schizophrenia etc. people that have these mental illnesses are not even aware of it. The fact that you feel that you have psychosis is a big prove that you don’t have psychosis. I had the same fear. It gets better I promise 💕
@@Courtneybtw_ Thanks alot man !! im recovered now, after a whole year ... but that comment really gonna help other people who think they have psychosis, cheers
@@zulekhadodya7982 i just accepted that i was going crazy, which i was not.. and everything just started to fade, and i didnt think about it too much :)
@@magnusolesen6724 hey ,sorry im really late to this but what about the existential thoughts ? i always ask myself how is this even real how is life real and the sky looks strange and the fact that im living on a planet ,are these thoughts temporary? im really scared and panicked
Hey man ! I just want to ask, if you were experiencing extreme inner fatigue and tiredness in your head while DP/DR. When im derealizing, i'm suddenly very tired and have to rest my eyes. Can you relate? And another question master :) Did you also have permanent tiredness that you can't sleep away? I mean when i had no DP/DR and were tired, i just used to go to sleep and next day i felt normal. But now WITH DP/DR i feel tired, i go to sleep and next day i still feel tired, like i never slept. Thx :)
Somehow i do feel It. I saw thing and its make ne to focus on them and Don't let me focus. My eyes feel like telescope. And i feel to sleep. But it happen
I just feel like there is no "me" to accept the symptoms anymore. I don't have any thoughts about DP or my symptoms. I feel like I'm forgetting that I even have DP anymore. Don't feel fear or anxiety... I can't tell if I've accepted it, or if I'm just so far gone that I can't even tell I'm disconnected anymore.
Swamy? I’m taking risperidone for anxiety but I’m worried it’s messing with my head, I want to get off and face depersonalization alone. But I’m scared of withdrawal, I messed up again. I was on antidepressants for 2 years and when I tried to get off hell broke loose in my head, I’m worried it’ll be worse. It’s all my fault and now I have more consequences to face, I’m very nervous rn so sorry for typing a lot it just, it sucks having this feeling
I’ve had it for 3 years and I feel that it’s getting a little better but I feel like my brains protecting me from something and I can’t seem to think what it is does anyone else have this problem
you could have trauma forgotten and hidden somewhere in your mind that your body is still trying to “protect” you from. therapy will help you uncover this
Hey again Swamy, i have hyper awareness and i dont know if its anxiety, stress or both and if it is what can i do because hyper awareness is hard to accept i get feelings in my stomach and sometimes i get a heat felling in my chest when i realize im alive. Its the lowest ive ever been in dpdr and i wanna get rid of hyper awareness so i can continue my recovery. I made a mistake before i got hyper awareness/ anxiety i would look for cures and think about the past sometimes and stress about the smallest thing's that i couldve ignored or not care about.
Hey Swamy, maybe you'll read this, hopefully. Sometimes when I'm really anxious I kinda have the feeling of hearing like a sirene or something (in the distance). I mean, Im not actually hearing it and I know it but its still very scary sometimes. It feels like im imagining this particular sound. Any advice? Is it more than dpdr?
Hi Swamy! I just started college on campus instead of online. My dpdr is terrible because of it, I don’t know If should go back to online or if it would help to stay.
It's ok to do challenging things. Face your fear. But try to cultivate a feeling of safety before that. Watch the other videos on my channel, you will learn how to do it.
I have a question... I've been feeling much better than a few weeks ago, but still feeling some sort of sensibility to my eyes and a weird feeling of pressure in my head. I've been living life as if I've got nothing but still this specific symptom persists. Is it normal to don't feel like very anxious but still got a symptom after feeling a little better? This one symptom keeps in a sense of hypervigilance, but I don't feel detached and I can feel my emotions and everything else. I only got this worrying thinking about this specific one that drives me nuts.
I do normal things like talk to my friends and go out with family but I constantly feel like I am stuck inside my head and that feeling scares me. I feel like something is terribly wrong with me and I don't know how to "think normally" anymore and my thoughts are not my own. This is a constant 24/7 feeling please tell me what to do
I wonder if anti depressant or anti anxiety med prescriptions are allowed or would that be avoiding the problem and not letting ourselves to heal naturally?
Hey Swamy!I wanted to ask:In DP/DR do you get hyperaware of senses as well?Like panicking over the fact that you are alive and have the senses you have?
Im 16 and do counseling for my dpdr and social anxiety. My dad only sees me on weekends and im very calm at his house so rarely go into an episode unless im in the shower or backseat of the car. With my mom im always nervous to go in public with her because I know if I go in an episode she will get mad at me. My mom doesnt understand dpdr and says I need to sleep and that Im acting crazy and it turns into a whole big thing. So I feel like I cant feel my symptoms and feelings of dprd and only try to avoid and fight them. I feel I could only practice this if im alone. So Would it be considered unhealthy or strange to purposely put myself in a dpdr episode to practice accepting the feelings? Im scared to do it but really want to learn to manage myself
Hi, im 20,5, may i have a question? I don't think i've dp/dr but the problem i have is that i definitely don't have automatic/spontaneous thoughts. I mean, there is no thought comming up to my head without my control. I can, t have them naturally flow into my head, if i have to think i have to force myself, its very frustrating and unnatural. My mind is blank almost all days, i lost interest in everything. I have this for 7 months, and i feel like its getting worse. Everything started from extreme OCD and racing thoughts, i had a lot of stress, also i was worrying a lot, i had a lack from sleep (like no sleep for days, or not too much) and i finally ended with this state of mind. And now my ocd, anxiety, racing thoughts are gone, what I was worried about before, I don't care anymore, but my blank mind is still left. I also remember i was overthinking something that was very stressful for me, i was thinking only and only about it, analyzing it, couldn, t sleep for days from this. I realized many times that it was Just a self destruction. I, ve never been to any psychiatrist/psychologist with this, because i really doubt that they could help me with this. I dont think that there are any meds which could help get my thoughts back, also they maybe may don, t know what it is, or if it exists. I don, t want suicide, but im not planning living like this longer. Its destroying my life, piece by piece. Everyday is hell since it started. Is there something what i should/can do to get my spontaneous thoughts come back? I dont think that i had any trauma, but just everyday chronic stress, i, ve been having headaches from stress too. I just hope that this state of mind is not actually pernament...
Hey swami i just have a question that in dpdr i get thoughts like i would forget everything in life about life and what i studied till now is this common??
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?
Hi Swamy, I bought the program from dp no more, with e-mail support for 30 days. I respond to the e-mails with the specified e-mail address but I do not receive a response from you… maybe they don't arrive correctly that could be. I have a lot of questions, can we get in contact?
Yes I tried, not helped even 1%, but I read the monk who sold his Ferrari book by Robin Sharma, withi in just 3 days my dipression and anxiety gone away 100% But dpdr is still there
Hey Swamy the last 4 days ive had bufferflies in my stomach over what my mom and dad said my mom told me i used to hug her and tell her i love her and my dad said i used to ask questions about stuff and when my dad asked me that i felt nothing then hours later something triggered me when my mom and dad told me ringed in my head made me feel regret and sad and the last 2 days ive been crying over what my mom said and still do now and i see the regret, i went to visit my mom for 1 month and that whole month i didnt socialize enough with her and now thinking about it now makes me sad and cry i haven't been able to eat right or concentrate right because of this regret which gives some stress the thoughts are low but the feeling of sadness is high idk if i should accept it or visit her again and do what i didnt do, only then will i resume my healing process pls lmk?

A sense of permanence. After those times of mental distress, I couldn't even imagine a positive and functional mental state. So I thought that my life would have been a mess anyway until the end. But it's not like that. The brain knows how to heal itself. It's just a very uncomfortable sensation, but even that will pass. I wish you well.
Mine came after taking a delta 8 gummy. I had taken them a few nights prior and nothing happened. Then one night while searching for a vacation spot I got hit by the worst panic attack I’ve ever had. And had felt high for 6 days. It went away for a week or so, and came back after I couldn’t remember someone’s name. (During the first few weeks of the new year, I had a cancer scare and covid. So the stress was at it’s all time high. And the anxiety was horrible so I think it call came crashing down at once.)
I’m at work all day and my job literally requires no thought at all so I’m in my head all day. That’s when it’s at its worst. And it just gets Worse the more I think about it.
Then I start talking to my wife and family and driving home I start to feel better. Then it comes again the next day. It almost completely went away again last night and it’s back.
My symptoms are just feeling ultra tunnel vision and feeling like I’m in a dream. Just day dreaming all day long. But I’m mentally sharp and can have a intellectual conversation with people and continue to create art and play call of duty 😆 but I just ignore my surroundings subconsciously and feel like I’m dreaming.
I have accepted it, I am aware and I’m safe. Just mentally exhausted and tired of it lol
I have a long drive in May… 9 hours. So I’m on my path to recovery, I feel great. Just super mentally foggy and dreamy. Basically feel high 😆
Life is going to get a hell of a lot better for us all. Be patient. Be aware, learn from this. We can do anything!
This channel is a gem
@peachy love I’m still off and on with dpdr. I know it’s still there. Every day I know I’m still going though it. It really ducking sucks but it will get better. Avoid stimulants and alcohol lol you’ll get better, it takes time but it will go away. We’re all in this together
my dpdr was brought on by edibles as well felt high for 2 weeks and stress made it worse and i still dont know what triggers me i will never touch drugs again. i was okay for a year and like 3 days ago it started again
Sometimes I feel I not having dpdr instead it is another else mental disorder I'm going through ..but the many symptoms of dpdr matched with my symptoms
Hey what are your symptoms?
Thank you so much , you made me better 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💌
i feel like i’m going to go crazy i feel like one day i won’t be able to think so won’t be able to walk talk ect or be totally not conscious
How are you now
Me too I’m getting lost in my own neighborhood. I am so spaced out
Thank you for this, I subbed ❤
My fear is that my vision will just become farther and farther distant the older I get. Is it possible for my vision to become so fake and far away that everything will eventually look so far away that I have no control over anything except to view everything from a distance? Another thing I have is, you talk about letting go and acceptance and all of that, but how can I do that if I don’t feel like I’m in control of my actions or movements or words? How do I tell myself to form a routine if it doesn’t feel like I’m the one doing it? These are questions no one answers.
Don't worry DP won't change. You're safe. For now just kick back and relax and watch some movies!
@@JJ35553 It won’t change meaning it won’t go away?
@@driftingsoul7355 No, it will 100% will go away with time. Just know that your greatest fear with DP/DR won't happen.
@@JJ35553 This is the right way!
Hey man i thought the same thing but now after 2 years of having it my unreal hazy blurry vision is correcting gradually i slowly super slowly feel a connection to reality again in terms of my vision it takes time but it fades
I have dpdr 4 months now .. i keep worrying over that this is psychosis, i DO NOT have audiotory, visual hallucination or delusions, but just living with this is so wweeiirrddd, its like i dont remember what normal feels like :(
Hi! I’ve had dpdr for about 4 months. I had all kinds of crazy worries about psychosis schizophrenia etc. people that have these mental illnesses are not even aware of it. The fact that you feel that you have psychosis is a big prove that you don’t have psychosis. I had the same fear. It gets better I promise 💕
@@Courtneybtw_ Thanks alot man !! im recovered now, after a whole year ... but that comment really gonna help other people who think they have psychosis, cheers
@@magnusolesen6724 how did you recover?
@@zulekhadodya7982 i just accepted that i was going crazy, which i was not.. and everything just started to fade, and i didnt think about it too much :)
@@magnusolesen6724 hey ,sorry im really late to this but what about the existential thoughts ? i always ask myself how is this even real how is life real and the sky looks strange and the fact that im living on a planet ,are these thoughts temporary? im really scared and panicked
i am so thankful for this video!!
Where are you from?
Hey man ! I just want to ask, if you were experiencing extreme inner fatigue and tiredness in your head while DP/DR. When im derealizing, i'm suddenly very tired and have to rest my eyes. Can you relate?
And another question master :) Did you also have permanent tiredness that you can't sleep away? I mean when i had no DP/DR and were tired, i just used to go to sleep and next day i felt normal. But now WITH DP/DR i feel tired, i go to sleep and next day i still feel tired, like i never slept.
Thx :)
Somehow i do feel It. I saw thing and its make ne to focus on them and Don't let me focus. My eyes feel like telescope. And i feel to sleep. But it happen
I just feel like there is no "me" to accept the symptoms anymore. I don't have any thoughts about DP or my symptoms. I feel like I'm forgetting that I even have DP anymore. Don't feel fear or anxiety...
I can't tell if I've accepted it, or if I'm just so far gone that I can't even tell I'm disconnected anymore.
Swamy...how come you don't make any new videos?
I don't have a lot of free time. Hoping things will be different next year. I want to make some new videos.
@@RealSwamyG I see, completely understandable. Thanks for your videos, watching them, and studying them is gradually helping me.
Thanks bro, great video
Swamy? I’m taking risperidone for anxiety but I’m worried it’s messing with my head, I want to get off and face depersonalization alone. But I’m scared of withdrawal, I messed up again. I was on antidepressants for 2 years and when I tried to get off hell broke loose in my head, I’m worried it’ll be worse. It’s all my fault and now I have more consequences to face, I’m very nervous rn so sorry for typing a lot it just, it sucks having this feeling
But how can I accept it and not run away if I still don’t believe that I’m real and suffer from existential anxiety as well?
I’m in the same boat :(
I’ve had it for 3 years and I feel that it’s getting a little better but I feel like my brains protecting me from something and I can’t seem to think what it is does anyone else have this problem
you could have trauma forgotten and hidden somewhere in your mind that your body is still trying to “protect” you from. therapy will help you uncover this
Thank you
Hey again Swamy, i have hyper awareness and i dont know if its anxiety, stress or both and if it is what can i do because hyper awareness is hard to accept i get feelings in my stomach and sometimes i get a heat felling in my chest when i realize im alive. Its the lowest ive ever been in dpdr and i wanna get rid of hyper awareness so i can continue my recovery. I made a mistake before i got hyper awareness/ anxiety i would look for cures and think about the past sometimes and stress about the smallest thing's that i couldve ignored or not care about.
Hey Swamy, is it normal to feel unbalanced and dizzy with dpdr, are those one of symptoms?
@RealSwamyG can i have a fear in my mind and feel tightness in chest and fear
Hey Swamy, maybe you'll read this, hopefully. Sometimes when I'm really anxious I kinda have the feeling of hearing like a sirene or something (in the distance). I mean, Im not actually hearing it and I know it but its still very scary sometimes. It feels like im imagining this particular sound. Any advice? Is it more than dpdr?
THANK YOU ❤️
thank you from france
Hi Swamy! I just started college on campus instead of online. My dpdr is terrible because of it, I don’t know If should go back to online or if it would help to stay.
It's ok to do challenging things. Face your fear. But try to cultivate a feeling of safety before that. Watch the other videos on my channel, you will learn how to do it.
I have a question... I've been feeling much better than a few weeks ago, but still feeling some sort of sensibility to my eyes and a weird feeling of pressure in my head. I've been living life as if I've got nothing but still this specific symptom persists. Is it normal to don't feel like very anxious but still got a symptom after feeling a little better? This one symptom keeps in a sense of hypervigilance, but I don't feel detached and I can feel my emotions and everything else. I only got this worrying thinking about this specific one that drives me nuts.
Would you consider doing the Wim Hoff method fighting it??
Sir have recovered 95% and above but I can't concentrate in studies
Same here too
I’m not anxious anymore, but i still feel it? will it go away?
When it hits me hard , i start to sweat alot, red in the face. It’s feels weird. Like a panic Attack
I do normal things like talk to my friends and go out with family but I constantly feel like I am stuck inside my head and that feeling scares me. I feel like something is terribly wrong with me and I don't know how to "think normally" anymore and my thoughts are not my own. This is a constant 24/7 feeling please tell me what to do
How are you
@@saifalisingh6129 Completely recovered and fine now. I'm doing great !
@@daminisarkar421hey what did you do to recover?
@@daminisarkar421what did u do?
Thanks so much tho
Hi Swamy, did your OCD thoughts and fears completely go away?
Im only 13 and i already feel like this:/
I wonder if anti depressant or anti anxiety med prescriptions are allowed or would that be avoiding the problem and not letting ourselves to heal naturally?
Hey Swamy!I wanted to ask:In DP/DR do you get hyperaware of senses as well?Like panicking over the fact that you are alive and have the senses you have?
Συνδέεται, αλλά είναι τυπικό σύμπτωμα και της ΙΨΔ. Στα αγγλικά λέγεται hyperawareness και sensorimotor OCD.
Im 16 and do counseling for my dpdr and social anxiety. My dad only sees me on weekends and im very calm at his house so rarely go into an episode unless im in the shower or backseat of the car. With my mom im always nervous to go in public with her because I know if I go in an episode she will get mad at me. My mom doesnt understand dpdr and says I need to sleep and that Im acting crazy and it turns into a whole big thing. So I feel like I cant feel my symptoms and feelings of dprd and only try to avoid and fight them. I feel I could only practice this if im alone. So Would it be considered unhealthy or strange to purposely put myself in a dpdr episode to practice accepting the feelings? Im scared to do it but really want to learn to manage myself
Hi, im 20,5, may i have a question? I don't think i've dp/dr but the problem i have is that i definitely don't have automatic/spontaneous thoughts. I mean, there is no thought comming up to my head without my control. I can, t have them naturally flow into my head, if i have to think i have to force myself, its very frustrating and unnatural. My mind is blank almost all days, i lost interest in everything. I have this for 7 months, and i feel like its getting worse. Everything started from extreme OCD and racing thoughts, i had a lot of stress, also i was worrying a lot, i had a lack from sleep (like no sleep for days, or not too much) and i finally ended with this state of mind. And now my ocd, anxiety, racing thoughts are gone, what I was worried about before, I don't care anymore, but my blank mind is still left. I also remember i was overthinking something that was very stressful for me, i was thinking only and only about it, analyzing it, couldn, t sleep for days from this. I realized many times that it was Just a self destruction. I, ve never been to any psychiatrist/psychologist with this, because i really doubt that they could help me with this. I dont think that there are any meds which could help get my thoughts back, also they maybe may don, t know what it is, or if it exists. I don, t want suicide, but im not planning living like this longer. Its destroying my life, piece by piece. Everyday is hell since it started. Is there something what i should/can do to get my spontaneous thoughts come back? I dont think that i had any trauma, but just everyday chronic stress, i, ve been having headaches from stress too. I just hope that this state of mind is not actually pernament...
Oct 9th it's been One Year i smoked weed & the Hangover is still there in form of Dpdr
Stop counting the days or how long it's been. It won't do you any good.
@@RealSwamyG Ok Swamy Ji
It's been a year for me to. Stay strong soldier!
Same w me but last year april 14th😕
Hey swami i just have a question that in dpdr i get thoughts like i would forget everything in life about life and what i studied till now is this common??
Hi - are you still active on your website?
Yes
Also how do you deal with the restlessness at night that usually causes more anxiety
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?
Hi Swamy, I bought the program from dp no more, with e-mail support for 30 days. I respond to the e-mails with the specified e-mail address but I do not receive a response from you… maybe they don't arrive correctly that could be. I have a lot of questions, can we get in contact?
Has anyone tried SSRI medications for this and did it help with the anxiety?
Yes I tried, not helped even 1%, but I read the monk who sold his Ferrari book by Robin Sharma, withi in just 3 days my dipression and anxiety gone away 100%
But dpdr is still there
how can you tell if you are going through a spiritual emergency or just dp
Hey Swamy the last 4 days ive had bufferflies in my stomach over what my mom and dad said my mom told me i used to hug her and tell her i love her and my dad said i used to ask questions about stuff and when my dad asked me that i felt nothing then hours later something triggered me when my mom and dad told me ringed in my head made me feel regret and sad and the last 2 days ive been crying over what my mom said and still do now and i see the regret, i went to visit my mom for 1 month and that whole month i didnt socialize enough with her and now thinking about it now makes me sad and cry i haven't been able to eat right or concentrate right because of this regret which gives some stress the thoughts are low but the feeling of sadness is high idk if i should accept it or visit her again and do what i didnt do, only then will i resume my healing process pls lmk?
Hi, maybe give your mom a call and apologize for not being able to be present? I’m sure she knows you love her and care about her :)
Hey Swami , i had recently been in a lot of trauma , lost my father some months back. I had nearly recovered and rarely feeled disassociated. But recently it has come back ! Along with a lot of anxiety and more horrifying , plz tell me what to do 😭 . Idk y sometimes I feel like I will forget everything and everyone , and that's my biggest fear
Hey man I just read your comment. I hope you are doing better.
@@Jacobz23 dk man it still sucks, my memory sucks. But I can say i can control myself now, by keeping myself busy and not giving it importance but it's hard as hell. Hope time pays off 😭
@@MohammadAshraf-px8fs Bro, I want you to never watch a dp/dr video or even think about it anymore. I promise you it will fade away. The reason why it could be staying with you is because you keep thinking about it.
Asslamualykum bro.where are u from?
Is it okay to have a fast beating heart all the time
Do you still have dpdr?
Nope
How can i contact you?
Swammy i smoked weed with dpdr and it only makes it worst while im high but i have recovered alot can i smoke weed again when i fully recover and not be derealized after ?
czcams.com/video/SiBwlU78dOk/video.html
U finally recovered bro? I saw ur comments a lot
Hey do you have a contact line?
Can you fight dpdr with aggressiveness
With high kicks is the best
Not if aggression increases stress…I tried that and it made my DR way worse
Swamy one question please
Does DPDR slowly fading away during time?
Cause i think that's happening to me
Yes, it fades slowly over time
@@RealSwamyG i think mine is getting better now.
No more intrusive thoughts, no more dreams mixing with reality,and fear is fading away.
Your advices helped so much Swamy.thank you very much,you are doing great work my brother
@@banke8480 did you diagnose yourself that you are going through dpdr? I did so and start to watch swamy g's videos and im recoverd from dpdr too but nowdays im having self doubt issue about was i really going through these weird symptoms or i was just fakng it ...becsuse i no more remember these feelng im now titally connected with old life .... but this doubt sucks
@@sharmilakhanal3377 well mine was drug abusing,now it's better.
