- In this video, I confront that common fear that because you have forgotten what normal reality feels like that you are unable to overcome the symptoms of derealization/unreality.

Welcome. My name is Jordan Hardgrave. I once suffered from debilitating trauma, depersonalization/derealization, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, health anxiety, social anxiety, existential anxiety, and many more things that wasted many years of my life. I was tired, frustrated, and gave up hope that I could ever find healing. To be honest, I didnât even know I was traumatized. My symptoms became a part of who I was. They became ânormalâ. Many years ago, after throwing together all the tools I could find online (most of which didnât help), I accidentally stumbled upon a body-based method that brought me permanent healing. I figured, âIf I apply all these tools at the same time surely one will workâ. Little did I know at the time that hidden within the dozens of tools that didnât work, I had discovered body-based tools that DID work, which skyrocketed my results and got me to being 100% symptom free.
When I was suffering I made a commitment that if I ever could become symptom free (I never thought I actually would, lol), that I would spend the rest of my life helping others heal. I spent tens of thousands of hours and dollars studying under the top trauma and mental health experts in the world, as well as constantly perfecting my method until it would bring rapid results no matter how long someone had been suffering. I based my method off evidence-based tools as well as the work and understanding of experts such as Dr. Steven Porges, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Peter A Levine, and Dr. Joseph LeDoux just to name a few.
Yes, here I am. Like Forest Gump fulfilling his promise to Bubba that he would become a shrimp boat captain, I am at your service. :) I created the Trauma Free Academy as a resource to help you find the healing you have been searching for but have only been met with confusion. I donât want you to have to make the many mistakes I made that wasted so much of my life. I want to show you how to get to the root of your symptoms instead of managing them for years but never getting to 100%. If youâre ready to go on this journey with me, follow me. Also, I have created tons of paid resources as well if youâre wanting more specific and personalized help. Here is what we have to offer:

Good video hard to hear you thou.
I meditated for awakening of my third eye to help me stay focus and I stated getting severe anxiety and depression and most of all fear and
Anxiousness I canât understand why . I feel like I tapped into an l

Bro I started crying when I heard that ngl
I feel as if everything just doesnât look right like itâs out of place , it feels as if Iâm high but Iâm not , sometimes it just messes with your head and makes you think your going crazy
I have the Same feeling but at least you know your not in it alone thereâs others that have the same issue and your not going crazy what helps me is to keep telling myself itâs going to get better it wonât last forever And Iâm ok and someone told me to try to do the things that give you anxiety like an example for me is to go out and meet new people because I used to be a outgoing person until I got this so she said the more she went out and did the things that Made her paranoid/ gave her anxiety her brain started to tell her sheâs fine and it helped her get better your not in this alone Iâve felt like this for about a year now everyday 24/7 and it does suck and it is scary but at least i know Iâm ok
Exactly this is how I feel!!
worst part is that i have exams in a few weeks i'm so scared!! and i feel so alone cuz noone understands what i'm going through rn
@@chinogoad5840 itâs ok your not alone and while you do exams try to focus on that more than the disorder thats what tends to help me when Iâm in school I also like to put head phones on and listen to music takes my mind off things hope this helps you out đ
Buddy... i know the feeling
did u get over it?
iâm honestly so scared. i donât feel normal at all, nothing feels real and i donât know what to do
I hear you. I feel this exact same way. At least we know this isnât forever. It feels like forever but weâll make it out of this. Watching these videos is really helping me honestly just knowing Iâm not crazy or the only person has helped me. Iâm here if you need to talk â€ïž
Reality is just electrical signals interpretated by your brain. You don't see it but you perceive it in your brain.....In your brains visual cortex......that's located in a tiny dark place at the back of your brain.....even YOU and your loved ones are just your brains interpretation. All your senses are just electrical signals. You hallucinate everything you know and love inside your head. Me and everyone else is just programmed by your brain to act as if we are real but nope....you have subconsciously wrote this comment also. I am you and so is everyone else.
I hope that puts you at ease
Sleep well đ
Same Iâm scared
just mastrubate a lot and u will get cured , i've been having this for 2years but now I got cured
Same, but u got thisâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž ily stay strongđ„ș God Bless uđ„°
Stay positive guys , we re all gonna get through this i promiseee!
10/4 we all already through it from a whiles no one on planet still normal the words about to get remove from dictionnairy from language erase from reality! đ€Ș
It suddenly started and sometimes I get mad over it I started to overthink and I look at people who are normal to see how lucky they are
â@@ahriman46 I play video games, eat some pretty bad foods, I don't really go out because of covid-19 and Im bored a lot inside and my mind feels like it wants to disconnect from reality. Being home all year made it hard to feel normal. My anxiety went up. Other day I had some intrusive thoughts but they left. Then yesterday I felt nothing like nothing my left chest felt empty and Im like is this how it feels to be normal? and then at night I started shaking because Im like "am I gonna feel like this forever?" I dont even remember how it feels to be happy, good and normal and I get scared like I don't wanna die as a teen. Im scared that I will go crazy if I disconnect from reality. I sometimes feel like humans even look weird.

@@maytegonzalez6444 SAME. i feel the exact same things as you...Iâve been feeling so disconnected for the last six months and Iâve had intrusive thoughts for about a year :/ donât hesitate to reach out to a therapist!

Hi Anxiety Ninja/DPDR Guy. I don't know if you remember me, but I still remember you! You helped me 2 years ago, when I was feeling derealized and depersonalized. I'm all okay now, I will not forget you.
as you recovered did you feel your anxiety get worse tahts how i feel
@@tenac9193 thats how I feel
@@oliverreyes8577 sry just saw ur reply do u want to talk ?
@@tenac9193 nah im good
tenac 91 how do you feel now?
In my experience, the recovery process just naturally happens. Iâm definitely still feel symptoms but over the course of time you start to care less about feeling normal and worry more about what you want out of life (which is actually your form of normal or connection). Just keep going and stay strong !
yesss thank youđ©
Thank you man!!â€ïž
So your basically saying youâll never feel normal again is that right
@@Dave.mcclinton I hade dpdr for 2 years. Before any videos were on it. You will feel normal again. You have to fight for it. And seek any medical help to relieve your anxiety
@@BHarveyProductionappreciate the response my brother question did you ever have any emotional problems as symptoms like emotionally numb and body numbness?
I remember what normal feels like. I thought derealization had something to do with my eyes. I got eye surgery. Nothing changed. I was in a situation of a lot of anxiety for a long time and it became autopilot mode. My derealization derived into maladaptive daydreaming. Thoughts that give me pleasure and help me escape reality. Very similar to an addiction that I can't beat because the root cause is so deeply embedded. Loneliness. Abandonment. It's very hard to connect to reality. To be normal. I want to feel love from someone.
Hi there, read UR post & totally understand everything you say. Iâve been in this state 12 yrs & no Therapy has helped and some made me worse. Have you recovered? Iâd like to know if U have & what helped you.
Iâve severe Trauma and CPTSD- Residential Trauma Care was recommended 12 yrs ago yet itâs the only Treatment Iâve not had due to the cost for a few months of intensive therapy that treats the Whole Person.
Iâve no help, no support, canât think or make life decisions & feel hopeless & nowhere to turn...đ
I pray U found help & Iâd appreciate any info U have as to if Uve recovered
Love & Hugs, Dianeđ
anyone else feel disconnected from there emotions like you canât feel love n affection or sadness , like my brain canât connect to reality so i canât feel emotions cause of that
I used to feel like this :) donât worry itâs super temporary! Just try to live like you arenât experiencing it and Iâm a week or so it will go away
@@teaganboyd1856 iâll try
@@jgarza1171 did it work? How are you feeling
@@anonymouscommenter4586 still tryin, when you connect with ppl like no weird stuff but like say a girl grabs ur hand or sum i try and connect what iâm supposed to feel when that happens and i can actually feel something. Iâve jus been goin to school and interacting with friends n stuff and itâs helping a lil bit
With u bro. Act like nothing is happening trust. Trust your body to do what it needs and try not to overthink things. The reason this is happening because when u got high, you were fighting the high. Now ur body is in flight or flight mode because it cant decide what is real and what is on thc. Allow your body to do the work u jisy gotta feel calm
Iâm so scared right now, Iâm trying my hardest to find something to help! I feel like a different person. I hate it so much! Wish me luck ;-; Iâll do an update
hey iâm dealing with it too! it really sucks but i think itâs getting better overtime. hope u have a quick recovery:)
This is the scariest time of my life. Going through this for the past 9 months and everyday feels the same and waking up from a sleep is the worst. I donât know whatâs it and I feel like committing a suicide until I realize Iâm not alone in this.
@@ringway1562 bro u are not alone Iâm eighth here with u. Do you have any socials we can talk on?
@@ringway1562 I felt the same way but mine got away recently so keep fighting and the less u stress the faster it goes away
@@ringway1562 I agree, waking up was the worst for me as well. Youâll get through it though. Iâm ok now it goes away

I feel like this comment is a dream but Ik itâs not uhhhhh this rly sucks but your gonna get threw this
Did you recover?
KaydenWallace VLOGS same :((
To anyone who's been despretaly looking for an answer/reassurance because you thought you were literally going crazy and alone, YOU'RE NOT ALONE. It's the most isolating frightening feeling ever. But trust me, it fades away !!! The last thing i could think of when i was going through it is the actual possibility for this to go away, it felt impossible, i felt stuck and trapped therefore going crazy. But eventually it started fading way, just go with it, dont fight or resist it, dont overthink it, i know it's difficult to do this while you're going through it but you CAN, resisting it only makes your anxiety spike even more, try to distract yourself with the things that you like to do etc, go on with your life normally,dont obsess over it please, you will feel like yourself eventually,patience is key. (Also thank you so much for this video, it was extremely helpful and reassuring â€)
Even with this being so common, it still feels mentally draining and it doesnt help the process at all. I feel so lost and incapable of coming back, im so bipolar and randomly i feel lost and the public feels so dream like
Did you recover
@@hungryburger6195 surprisingly im recovering well, a lot better than id expected to tbh, its not impossible to recover and i learned that through experience
@@HippeyJuiceYT any tips
@@hungryburger6195 trust the process. Stop thinking all the time, go out and enjoy living (get some fresh air hang out with friends and family), stop being by yourself as much as possible in secluded areas to ger your mind off things, getting physical activity
Anything that keeps you moving and not sitting still and thinking, dont sit in your situation and let yourself rot in agony, its gonna get better and its not gonna be a smooth ride
@@hungryburger6195 its gonna be one bumpy and bipolar ride, one moment youll think youre recovering and a week later youll think youre going back to having no progress, keep a positive mind and keep pushing through, stay positive and keep thriving man
A great term I heard recently was a âglimmerâ which is the opposite of a âtriggerâ. Itâs a little window into what a return to normal connectedness is like!
Yeh I get those, I call it a "glimpse"
I am 100% on board with this. I've become so used to being in this anxiety state that "normal" feels abnormal. So I understand. I'm with all of you family â€

@@ShayVidz I'm sorry. There's lots of support here.
@@billiejodix4560 do you feel somehow better now ?
@@aminedouaissia657 I have bad days still. But I have more good days now.
@@billiejodix4560 do u have a good strategy to recover because all my days are bad I don't even know what good day means anymore it more like good moments for like 30 minutes a day then I go back to my endless loop of unrealityđ
I had an instance, about at most 5 seconds, I felt back in reality. I was like âwhat is this, is this anxiety?â. But it was just such clarity and honesty eye opening. I crave that again and I am determined to get there so itâs 24/7. Of course my anxiety is trying to doubt what I experienced was just something else or a different anxiety. But no, everything was so clear and different, that is what ânormalâ feels like. Progress!!
Same! I was just sitting in my history class around a month ago and after 3-4 years of not feeling ânormalâ I just randomly felt more grounded for around an hour and then I just went back to feeling less grounded
@@willyp1347 Iâm guessing you still dealing with this
How you feeling now
Same I had this happen when I was working I kinda just snapped back into reality but now Iâm back at feeling like Iâm in a movie or dream again state
This is so uplifting. I went through some of the worst months of my life and still go through stages to this day. IT GETS BETTER. it feels so lonely and like you are losing control of your mind but please as a âsurvivorâ of this if you will, it gets better. it may take time, it may take life adjustments, maybe some trial and error. but it works! and this channel is complete gold for discussing issues like this, i really respect and appreciate the content bro
Thank youâ€ïž
How are you feeling today if you donât mind still experiencing anything ?
đđŸđđŸâ„ïž
Thank you! Listened to the end....very helpful and super encouraging! I love what you say about returning to being connected.
Jordan thanks for commenting back to my comment on one of your videos I think that's great and also uplifting if someone has just extended faith either in you or through you. I am wowed by it and I really respect that.
I am so glad I found your channel! I am so ready to live life again. This pandemic has really taken a toll on us all
Jordan you seriously helped me acknowledge my situation in a factual way, and for that you have my most depersonalized gratitude my sir.
Iâve held on to the end lol. Thank you so much for your help, Iâm going to take your course for DP/DR
This is such a comforting video. Thank you.
I listened to this video while walking home, hearing this Jordan made me feel better About my surrounding
This channel is a hidden gem. It's encouraging to hear someone talk about dpdr. I had to specifically seek it out and I'm happy I did. I got lost after point #3... I think there was a 4th point but all I could think about was that lambo. Haha. But in all seriousness, keep up the good work đ
watching this has made me feel so much better, i appreciate you a lot thank you.
This video is so useful and reassuring, especially when you repeated about knowing what normal is. Needed that. Thanks.
I just had a break from my dr. Your video allowed me that. Your guidance on this is so encouraging that I felt that incredible feeling of not being disconnected for a moment and thereâs nothing to describe how incredible it is.
Ugh, this is so me! I have no idea what itâs like to relax. I had a panic attack last night because I thought I was dying. I know better to google symptoms but I did it anyway. đ found this channel this morning, I am feeling a little hopeful! I canât wait to learn more and beat this!
there are no words to express how much I thank you - I appreciate you, Jordan!~
This video helped me ,I just started having these thoughts that I wouldn't know what normal feels like but now that I watched this video it showed me a different view thanks đ
MFDOOM 95 happy to help!!
Thank you. Sincerely. I am close to tears and I am only 3 minutes in. I have always struggled with anxiety and OCD my whole life, dealing with derealisation as a side effect of these issues. I am currently going through a phase of derealisation and my anxiety is through the roof - questioning the meaning of life, why life is the way it is/looks the way it is and it makes me feel crazy. But I'm glad to see an explanation for it which is explained so simply!
I've held on till the end.
You're a great speaker.
Nice calm voice with proper inflection points but nothing over the top
or annoying.
I've been here before so this is interesting subject matter because as an empath I can remember how scary it was coming back.
i just had a major crisis and this video really helped me feel grounded again, even if i couldn't understand through the first half because i was distracted, i made it through! thank you!
Youâre the best man! Very helpful video as always, looking forward to our next coaching!
Olivier Morssinkhof happy to help man! Yes looking forward to it
Thank you, all of you, for making me feel less alone. I love you and weâre all going to get through this.
đđ»
I held on to the end and I don't need a prize bcuz this was so helpful ..thank you.
Watched to the end. My niece is currently hospitalised with this. It gives me hope she will come home again ty.
I needed that! Every time i watch your videos i feel normal again. And then dpr comes again
Everything happens for a reason happy to help
I really like your approach of explaining this and these words are very encouraging. So I'm currently trying to recover from a panic disorder, and after 4 months of pretty much constant derealisation, I experienced being "normal" again. Have no clue why it happened, just sort of woke up and felt great. I was thinking this exact way (and honestly sometimes still am), but I feel my "top ceiling" of overall well-being is raising and the same goes for the "bottom-ceiling". So yeah, whoever is reading this, just know that yes, this is the toughest battle of your life, and yes, it seems like it'll never get better, but trust me this, as someone who has been thinking this exact thing, IT DOES GET BETTER. Keep fighting - every day, day by day, and you'll start to feel like you're going somewhere. Take this "opportunity" to change yourself for the better, learning more about your body and mind, and then one day, we'll be able to live life to the fullest once again. Keep fighting guys, we've got this!!
Thank you soo much on talking on this topic that really helps. Just by seeing that what I am feeling is a thing I feel relieved , sometime i feel time doent exist firstly I thought it was something that is only I am experiencing but thank goodness I am not alone and I hope that everyone may get out of this and be in his own state of mind .
Thank you for your videos:)
I stayed until the end- so you know...
Also last year when I started experiencing 'getting punched by a biker' it actually freaked me out and I started getting myself in positions even creating situations for myself where my state of anxiety was constantly triggered and I could stay in my DPDR state. I remember just watching my self self sabotage and I couldn't figure out why, I was hurting myself and loved ones and for some reason my subconscious or whatever kept pushing the limits of my disassociation. And it wasn't until watching this video that I realized likely why I did that.
Just needed to share.
Again thank you thank you for your videos. It's helps alot, I had no idea that what I struggled with had a name until I took a disassociation assessment with my therapist and got a hight score. Now trying to research up- this is so validating. Keep up the good work:)
I watched this whole video with my mom and this video helped her understand what I'm feeling and gave us a better connection. Thank you so much.
that's so nice!! my mom is also being a huge source of support during these weird times :)
@@cristin97 Nice moms my mom won't even believe me She think I'm normal even though I'm saying her that I don't feel normal
I normally don't really comment on videos but i just wanted to let you know how much better this video made me feel and how much to look forward to it gave me. Just 2 weeks ago out of nowhere I had a huuuuge breakthrough when it comes to DP after YEARS of experiencing it. Although it constantly got better over time, this time there was just a switch that clicked. And even though I'm still not completely through it i'm all of a sudden making rapid progress.
To the people reading this: He's right, you WILL know when you're back im reality. It's such a huge difference. Like, you can't miss it, it's impossible. And this is coming from someone who probably was as deep in it as one could be with no hope of revovery ever.
I wish everyone here strength and a speedy recovery. It's the most terrifying thing i have ever experienced but i've gotten through it (or will have soon) and so can you. ONE â€ïž
Did anything particularly help?
This was so helpful Jordan, thanks đ
Thank you. Iâve been trying to put a finger on how Iâve been feeling for a while now. This has been explained brilliantly and now I know itâs something I can overcome
Its good to know that you're not the only one going through something. Well I've been depersonalized and derealized for 10 years now. Mine was due to trauma, a lot of crazy stuff happened in my family when I was a kid even till now, it really messed me up. Everything feels like a dream, objects around me are wider and flat and seem farther away from me. I get panic attacks like occasionally. I'm also aggressive towards people even though I don't wanna be. Sometimes I come back to reality, and then I get really scared and start screaming and crying involuntarily cos even though it looks real I'm just so used to seeing everything distorted and then i revert back to the dream state. Also I tend to laugh alot, also find it very hard to focus. I find it really hard to make proper eye contact with people. It's just really crazy.
I experienced this months ago, its like hell.
I
How do you feel now?
The eye contact thing is the worst part for me, I hate it.. I feel like if I'm having eye contact with people they can see that I'm looking at them like they're something other than what they really are đ I find it kinda funny now tbh, because I realize how ridiculous my mind is, but I still can't help but behave like that
When you said âlook at me, you will overcome thisâ, i trembled. Itâs so scary and Iâve been trying to beat this for so long
6 months later
How r u now?
@@mrpurposeless5971 I have actually gotten through a lot of it. I ended up checking into therapy, after the diagnosis of DP/DR, I got a medical check as well to rule out anything medical, I was doing therapy 3x a week and the panic attacks came less and less and I was able to connect to my surroundings a lot better and quicker than I was expecting. Therapy is totally worth it and Iâve also started medications for anxiety as well. I still have moment of derealization because those are from anxiety and dissociation more than anything but theyâre handled much much better, there is hope 100%
@@PragmaticAddict really happy for u
Derealization is form of dissociation through trauma so the biggest thing is finding the roots to the problem. Therapy is the best tool
@@PragmaticAddict thanks for the advice đ

Your videos help a lot. If Iâve had dp since I was 21/22. Youâre right, I donât know what feeling normal feels like. In fact when I have no anxiety, it feels strange.
How are you now what symptoms do you have
Any better ?
Made it to the end. This is driving me crazy. My anxiety over it has turned to eye rolls and dread and general unease, but Iâm so depressed over it. But I feel a little hope. Sucks that it might take years.
this is one of the best dpdr videos ive come across .. thank you so much, iâll definitely watch it again for reminder when i start losing my way again.

I held on to the end! Thank you so much for this video đ
Ever since ive done weed ive felt like this. Its been like 7 months but I tell you, it has gotten sooo much better. I can only hope for this to continue and to finaly feel normal. Im saying this because this does get better. Practice meditation and calmness and overall just stop thinking so much.
How are you doing now?
I'm so young and I have this. I've had it for 4 years now and im honestly done trying to fight it. I'm just gonna live. I can't keep myself from living my youth because of this. I'm not even afraid of having forever. I dont care. Yeah it does suck but when I die it will go away. I've forgotten what being in touch with reality and I feel like I've been like this my whole life even though I haven't. I'm done fighting. I'm just gonna live.
That really sucks but you can DM me on Instagram

You've got this. I am helping my young teen age son with this.
How do you feel now? Did it for away?
yess totally felt this!! you got this , we all do.
I am so thankful for the internet for stuff like this. Iâve had to dig through so much stuff on the internet to find out what was happening to me. Thank you. Postpartum anxiety brought derealization on and I flipped out and it has continued for a month now and the feeling of not being a competent mother has been so debilitating. I never thought Iâd feel normal again and explaining it to therapists was difficult because I didnât know what exactly was happening. This helps so much. I am in tears while listening â€ïž I have subscribed and will be going through all your videos
God bless you we will all get through this I'm pray for everyone suffering with this horrible illness â€
Amazing video Jordan!!
Going from extremely anxious to emotionally numb has become my new normal. I know it's not real or right, but I don't know my previous normal anymore
Anxious to numb for me as well. Itâs so unbearable
Iâm been feeling so out of reality since 2019 when I was in highschool, I was not taking care of my Body and passed out. After I woke up I have been feeling like this for over a year after it happened. People have told me they understand how I feel, or have felt the same when I reach out the people about it. Trust me when I say this prayer really helps me. Just giving my worry and fear to God.
I have tried things like listening to loud music, feeling cold things, smelling things that are strong to try to use my senses and they help temporarily
I had it happen to me through smoking a whole blunt as a non smoker. I went for a run in the forest after 2 days without my phone/music and it went away. Maybe this will help you.

I literally asked myself this question all last night..so I'm ready to listen.
Iâve been dealing with constant Dp/Dr for about 8 years now, I had lost hope but the other day I got my first sleep paralysis and as soon as it stopped I had a 30 sec of feelings normal. It was the most euphoric and best 30 seconds of my life I think, thatâs what after 8 years gave me back hope, cause I had a proof that I am able to feel connected again.
How are you doing now?
@@JJ35553 Still have constant Dp/Dr unfortunatly
@@kenwrik Maybe you're still trying to fight it in some ways. Your sub-consicous might be still processing a traumatic event that happened. So sorry for you.
cbd oil try it
@@SimeonKirilovX what did you do to get that release if you donât mind me asking ?
Watched all the way through and thank you for this. Very help and reassuring x
Youâre amazing. đ Thank you. I canât afford you right now.. but hopefully Iâll be able to soon. Until then.. guess Iâll continue watching your videos. Youâre an Angel. đđđ
I still can feel anger, envy, jealous, joy, and fun. But thereâs something about my visualâs off.. I already had an eye check up earlier and they found out nothing wrong. Is this still depersonalization? :)
depersonalization has made my vision really weird. i think thatâs because when your body is experiencing dpdr, your pupils dilate and your mind is constantly âon the look outâ for a threat or outside danger. this can make ur brain really tired and make your vision seem blurry or cause you to see floaters and other weird visual effects. iâve been dealing with it for 3 months and sometimes it gets worse but then it gets a little bit better. but just like you, iâm getting some emotional feelings back. thankfully.
@moonlighter makes so much sense đđŒ
YESS it feels like as if everythingâs is fake, youâre not alive, YOU SEE stuff but itâs like, t doesnât look the same anymore. It looks like stuff is unfamiliar or like youâre in a movie.
Did you recover?
Yesssss thank you someone who I can relate to so you still have this if not how did you make it stop plx answer Iâm 16 and itâs getting me really worried
Iâve held on to the end! đ
The problem for me is that i've been feeling this way since i was 5-6 y.o. and i don't remember the first 2-3 years of my life that much. Because of this, It feels like I've never felt normal... I am 23 right now so I've been feeling like this for 17-18 years. It sucks, i hope i start feeling normal and connected at some point in my life. I can't even imagine how peaceful that would make me feel. I'll talk about this with my therapist and hopefully she can help me.
Thank you for this channel, i was not sure about what i was going through until I found you. Please keep doing what you are doing
Thank you so much for being informative and helpful!
Your video's helped me a lot! I have DP/DR for 5 years now... and never realized where it was coming from. So i started doing breathing techniques and noticed my body feels very stressed for a longtime. After 5 years i realized my DP/DR is triggered by stress and stress triggers anxiety for me, and i'm just amazed what 3 days of breathing exercises did for me. I feel way more connected. Feeling normal is getting closer and closer, I CAN FEEL IT! :D Thank you for helping!
and for anyone that's struggeling right now! Stay strong!
You'll overcome it!
iv also had this for years but notice as i recover my anxiety gets worse is tbat the same for you
5 years thats a long time, om 4 Month in now. how are you now? Btw add me in game: Powkyđđ€đŒ
How are you now
@@tenac9193 hey how are you now
How are you doing now? Any improvement?
I have the exact same thing and if any of you do aswell like it feels like a permanent high and like dizzy and lightheaded 24/7 I found out what can help is not constantly telling your friends because they really donât care but to get your mind off things by staying occupied and busy find new hobbies and try to stay happy
How do you feel now? i had a bad trip yesterday but it wasnât like any other one iâm guessing it was this... i remember stoners talking about feeling this way at least some time in your life but i always thought it only happened to ppl that werenât in a good state of mind
@@cruzyt9536 any drug with psychoactive effects can cause dpdr in easily susceptible people. even if you are in a good state of mind and it feels as if it shouldnât be effecting you. itâs not your fault and it could happen to anyone. the good thing is though that it is not permanent no matter how it is brought on. its a variable condition and as long as you break the thought patterns contributing to it, it will fade away completely over time. easier said than done though for sure :)
@@cruzyt9536 im not sure if youâre feeling better or not but if it makes you feel better, youâre not alone. im still dealing with it as well after a similar experience to yours. it does get better. right now im facing a setback but i can tell you that i was improving a lot which shows that you can recover
@@jacesnowberger4986 any advice I smoked a new strain a few days ago and this is exactly have I've felt I know I'm not in the best state of mind I struggle with depression but this is a completely different feeling it gives me anxiety just thinking about it I keep zoning out doing things I feel as tho I'm somewhere I'm not supposed to be
@@jacesnowberger4986 What if I experience Derealization 24/7 and I have never taken drugs?
Needed this so much đ„Č
I've held on till the end. It's been really difficult recently. Thank you.
To keep from triggering others with the original comment, it's gotten bad where I literally feel like I can't see. I get intrusive thoughts of not being able to think, breathe, see, swallow.
Same
Yeah Iâve had it for so long I donât know what I used to feel like. And also Iâve held on to the end, gimme that lambo.
Flexide give me 70-10,000 business days and Iâll send out the Lamborghini. đđđ»
its so weird, every time i do something-once its over it feels like remembering a dream, even if im still at the same place. IÂŽve had the 24/7 version of dpdr for over 2 years now and its getting so hard. I dont even want to go outside because then i notice it more because of the lightning and stuff.
How are you doing now?
This is EXACTLY what Iâm going though! Itâs been getting worse! I keep praying for a miracle and just did an MRI. I hope we can get this fixed because itâs honestly the worst thing ever
@@LilyStultz still the same :((
@@DITAMUSICOFFICIAL Iâm so sorry for you!!! I wish you all the best. :( hopefully we can get through this
@@emmakeira9343 have you tried any of Jordanâs methods ?
I've held on till the end lol, Thanks a ton I really needed this, as soon as you said it's a survival mechanism I calmed down, and I got out of Derealization
ur out of derealization now?
Thank you so much for this video! Very well explained. Watched till the end 3 years later!
Glad it was helpful!
Feeling like Corona Virus led us all here. The mental health pandemic is massive rn according to the cdc I believe. Anxiety is high.
I smoked laced weed not knowing it was laced , freaked me enough to take me into a panic attack , as if a panic attack isnât bad enough already Imagine being high , all I wanted to do was go to sleep and I couldnât . I feared for my life , the next day I felt detached from my body , everything was a question to me what was real am I even awake right now ? What helped me over come it was going out with my girl and just telling her how I felt and showed her what I was going through , moral of the story get someone who you are comfortable with and talk to them about it . It lasted about a day but watching videos like this really calmed me down , donât panic donât over think you are safe ! I over came it and you will too!$
i wish mine couldâve lasted a day like how it used to. ur very lucky im glad it was able to go away for you:)
@@yyeseniaa crazy part I did it again to see if It would happen again and it did! And this time it wasnât just one day Iâm still feeling it lol but I can somewhat control it
@@lsx6233 like why? Thats just stupid...
@@Adri-dj9ve to face my fear , obv it wasnât laced this time , made me mentally stronger knowing it wasnât the weed but it was my own head tricking me
@@lsx6233 doesnt matter even normal weed can do that,especially in high doses,plus if your mentally not ready then its just bad for your own
loved the Lambo sound effects. stayed till the end, always do.
Guys listen I just wanna say, I was drugged back in July of 2020 I am 18 about to be 19 and yes Iâm still dealing with dpdr plus hppd. But I do not let this stuff scare me. Remember either you control it or it controls you, be patient and grow with time my friends I know itâs hard and I know you wanna break down but continue to live life and do what makes you happy, go to the gym. Go out the house. Go to work talk to people get it off your mind you will be okay. And this is coming from someone still facing through this battle with you saying this. Do not let it take your life. Let it grow you, I love yâall say strong and god bless â€ïž
I have a problem with freaking out because im so used to feeling dissociated that i get scared when i dont feel that way
Damn thatâs exactly what Iâm like.. I forgot how it was to feel normal and now Iâm used to being disconnected
Same when I get better I'm like, oh no this doesn't feel good, no no no I'm not used to this, and like that
Happy to say i have since recovered.
@@ShredmasterFlash Yo it's so good to know!
@@ShredmasterFlash any tips on what you did to overcome
I literally recovered just from this video im so happy!! I had been feeling like this and was super scared because I didnât know what was going on and if i was going to feel like this forever which lead me to more anxiety and then depression to the point where i even contemplated suicide. I started deep thinking to see what my trauma was and i discovered it and started relaxing in bed and telling myself that im ok and my trauma is just in my head and is not a threat. I recovered at least 85% in half an hour Iâm so happy right now.
Omgomg fr u gave me so much hope
Yay. Happy for you
Hey it's all in your head I'm gonna say it again it's all in your head my brother
Ive held on till the enddd â€
I held on until the end of video. It was helpful.
Mindfulness meditation will connect you back to reality its gonna take time though. you brain is constantly running away from present moment to avoid these fears which looks to us as derealization.
It worked 4 u?
Bruh I've been trying to learn about spirituality and I have Dp/Dr at the same time LOOOOL!!!
Mindfulness meditation, you might end up doing it without meaning. We all know how to do it, we probably did a good part of our lives and never noticed. Don't force it
@@karmakid272 It helped me a lot
I've held onto the end and god I hope I recover
God is with you
I stayed until the end lol. Also thank you for this video. Makes me feel better knowing I'm not alone dealing with dpdr.
these videos help me come back for 10 minutes! i have hope this will help me 24/7. Iâm on the road to recoveryđ€ iâm starting to feel better now x
I really want to go to the real reality but Im scared because I have been experiencing Derealization for so long and it would take some time to get used to the real world because it would be very confusing
â@@user-rx5qe7iz5vhow u long experience dear?
My biggest problem is my vision, I canât see correctly, and nothing feels familiar, Iâve been so scared these past four months, your videos are extremely helpful
I also have this.
same with me. theres times to where my vision is fine but sometimes my brain starts to think that how im looking at stuff is not normal in which is not true because what we are looking at is real so its just a weird and uncomfortable thing to deal with
Is there anyone that has derealization currently that would like a friend to talk to about it? I really need to talk to ppl who understand
right here, add me on instagram and lets talk, its @ nocapperonii
U can also dm me on insta @mr_jotoloho would be happy to talk :)
