i´m 29 now, the first time i experienced this i was 17. i like the way you approach this, i don´t see it as an ilness, i only feel this when i´m extremely anxious, i think this only happens to very introspective, sensitive people. maybe we just think too much. i personally think, i think too much about everything, we must learn to relax and interact with other ppl,really be in touch with others. being yourself around ppl is vital, cause if you are with other ppl but you are not being yourself it´s the same as being alone.
"If you are with other people but you are being yourself, it's the same as being alone." Man... This is the truth. Well said. You've given me a further 'wake-up call'. Thank you.
I have to say, I've had derealisation for almost 2 weeks now. Today I am starting to feel better after watching these videos. I think what you've done is give me hope into realising that it doesn't last forever and that you can get over it. I have felt better in the past and relapsed the very next day. What I have been doing is trying to ignore it and not think about it and that is literally impossible! Your advice on accepting it and say to yourself, that yes I have it and it doesn't bother me works. And slowly the symptoms have decreased and hopefully they will go away forever. The worst thing to go through and I am so glad that I am not alone!
Thank you for this channel, I’m still struggling but just know that what you’re doing is amazing man. Helping others recover from something terrible you’ve gone through is very noble, god bless you
My Brother always Give HIM the GLORY don't mind what anyone else thinks or comments you got it right the first time GOD AND ONLY GOD shows us the way but you already know that.
I had that fear of schizophrenia thing very badly, you just have to stop sitting around and thinking about these things, you have to get out and be active and stop obsessing over these worries as hard as it may be. You have to push them out of your head every time they come to your mind distract yourself. I suffered with this for a long time on and off, but I feel that I finally have a grip on things.
Going through depersonalization(dealt with it in bits going through school since 10 years of age, in uncomfortable situations social anxiety, but it was manageable because I forgot about it when I would go home, my safe place) but for over the past 3 weeks, it seems ongoing. The most disturbing thoughts will come up and literally mess with my head. The worst feeling ever I have experienced in my entire life, is feeling completely out of body while also feeling like I can’t move? I mean physically, I can still move. Drive to work go about my day. But the thought is persistent. Every time I walk, or do the most basic task, the unsettling thought comes up ‘How do I move’ ‘How do I eat’ ‘How do I write on a piece of paper’ ‘How do I do anything...’ Basic day to day functions that you have been doing your entire life, somehow become burdensome by these thoughts. I can still function but these thoughts ‘How do I...’ is super uncomfortable. I almost feel as if I can not function at all. Super scary. Thoughts is all they are though. Keep fighting everyone going though DP/ DR. Only thing that gives me solace is the prospect of being a better version of myself on the other side of this madness.
is DP/DR mainly a feeling? I mean is it possible to have the weird thoughts connected to it without the feeling? What i really want to know is - do these existential thoughts (about how strange the world is, why am a live, who am i, is this a dream etc) go away when you get rid of the feeling/anxiety? For me, at first (a few weeks ago) it was a strange horrible feeling (i think it was a panic attack) and i just felt incredibly confused, like in a dream, but now i just don't remember what it's like to feel 'normal anymorre', all i know is that i'm constatnly overanalyzing everything, life seems scary and bizarre, i don't understand why i'm alive, what it's all about etc- it's a bit like in a matrix.... Are these existential scary thoughts part of DP/DR (as in changed chemicals in the brain/trauma/fright-or-flight response) or are they just part of me? :-(
At times i think obsessive compulsive disorder is a part of depersonalization disorder. Many people with obsessive disorders never are good enough to explain depersonalization in such a good way.
hi, i'm almost recovered, i get some anxiety symptoms from time to time, but when i get them + whats left of my dp symptoms it helps to watch your videos
I hate when people comment and say they had it like for 15 years that does not really help me get through this
Hayden Patstone hey how you doing now? The thing is don’t search about it, it helps if you don’t search it

It's just thoughts tell yourself you will get out and then maybe you will get out
It really is just that, disturbing thoughts. A flow of thoughts that take grasp of your Life. It is key to realize that they are ONLY thoughts.
