This video literally made me cry. I thought I was crazy because I have often felt like I was an outsider who was watching my life on a video. I would also sit in front of the mirror and not recognize the person in the mirror was me.
in my experience: - I don't remember what we did for the day. - feels like I'm not fully in control (sense of multiple people coordinating as one-ish) - either we go numb and foggy when trauma resurfaces or when there's a disagreement within myself - using 1st and 2nd POV interchangeably - loss of sense of time (brain fog) - living vicariously through my own eyes - partial loneliness, but never feeling alone when I'm alone - memories feel like a dream - we don't feel that others are NPCs (not often), but I feel like an NPC myself - I feel like a part of me feels the triggers while the rest don't at the moment. we try to comfort myself. I don't really have a sense of self, but I don't know what else to call it. I don't wanna use DID loosely, as I still will have to go to a therapist to help me with all of that. edit: most of my answers were B
Everything you said here is how I feel except for maybe 1 of them and for all of the questions I chose B too, I'm just happy I'm not alone I truly thought it was only me and it was making me go even more insane because I felt no one would be able to relate to me and I wouldn't be able to explain it. Thank you.
i have the exact same experience, and I also picked B for all of the questions. i’ve been looking into it and I want to talk to someone about it but im worried to reach out.
I truly hope for the best in your therapy process so that you can figure out what's going on in your own head. This video, while very helful, did not go into OSDD or UDD (otherwise specified dissociative disorder and unspecidied dissociative disorder respectively), and if you strongly feel connections to the experience of DID, but just different enough that you wouldn't wan't to consider it that, you may want to do some research on OSDD-1 as it is a dissociative disorder that has a lot of traits and experiences in common with DID. I will note that finding information on OSDD-1, especially anything helpful or comprehensible, is very difficult, so your best bet just may be youtube. If you do want to look into it, i'd recommend videos by OSDD creators and medical professionals alike so that you can get an understanding of the clinical and personal sides of OSDD
A lot of times when I'm stressed I start to feel like I'm not in control of my own body, and it would often scare me. I'm glad to find out that this is an actual thing and not something I made up lmao.
@@skittles9975 the deja vu feeling is what I always get, and while I have that feeling, it feels like it’s happening to someone else Usually that happens when I’m about to faint due to low blood pressure
i felt this way all the time when i was 12/13, my mom got cancer (she's ok now) and i was extremely scared, my brain tried to shut off any emotions to cope without me even realising. for the longest time i thought i was fine and that it didn't affect me, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. i remember looking at my hands and at my surroundings and thinking, is this really me? i felt like i was in a movie, watching someone else. it felt like i was moving on auto pilot and not by my own free will. i have so many gaps in my memory from those days too... when my mom told me what was happening to me, and that she hadn't seen me smile genuinely in years, my heart shattered but everthing suddenly made sense. this still happens to me sometimes when i'm going through a hard time, but now i know what it is and why it happens and i can control it better. i'm 22 and i'm still working on fully unlocking my emotions
I'm DID & C-PTSD. Thank you for addressing dissociative disorders. There's much stigma & misunderstanding around these disorders which makes finding & receiving help very difficult. They also feed into shame, depression, & fear.
This happened to me frequently living with my abusive mother. One day it got so bad I started hallucinating as well.. along with the disassociation and ended up in a hospital for a couple of months. Going through trauma is no joke.. it can break you.
my friend says that she might be suffering from dissociative disorder and I'm watching this video just to help her. Thank you for posting this! I appreciate it very much because of the potential it has to help others
I've been dissociating since I was a kid, often so lost in thoughts that I forget where I am or what I'm doing. I can go to a store or take baths and not be present, then have that realisation that I'm doing a task at this moment. It's a coping mechanism that I fostered because I was too stressed growing up for multiple reasons (abusive parents, bullying, loneliness) and would go on to create fantasy, ideal version of myself. Once I got injured because of it, and since then, I've made conscious effort to be present in the moment. Because I tend to resort to my daydreaming, I'm incredibly bad at dealing with real life stress (too irritable, emotional and neglectful of myself) and feel that constant pull of just immersing myself in my daydream worlds or consume media so I don't have to face the issues. I still struggle so much with stress and it affects my performance and relationships, but I'm glad that I'm now able to acknowledge my problem and look for better ways of managing. It hasn't been easy, but I genuinely feel happy now and intrested in my own growth, even when I get depressed or too anxious sometimes.

I got scared from my reflection, not because I'm ugly but it didn't feel like that was me. So, whenever I get another episode (which is like every day) I avoid mirrors...
I have depersonalization derealization disorder and it sucks SO BAD I can’t even drive because when I try I get such bad anxiety I start disassociating and it fucks up my reaction time and ability to observe my surroundings. I’ve had this disorder for as long as I remember and I have no idea what caused it but I feel like I’ve missed out on so much of my life because it’s literally felt like I was trapped in my own head. I don’t wish this on anyone.
Dissociative Disorder Quiz: Do you… 0:13 1) …have frequent memory gaps? 0:28 2) …r sourroundings feel twodimensional? 0:45 3) … feel detached from yourself? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1:41 There are three types of dissociative disorders (according to the DSM5, ICD11 lists more): - Dissociative Identity Disorder - Dissociative Amnesia - Depersonnalisation-Derealization-Disorder Traits of Dissociation: 1:49 Feeling detached 2:19 A blurred sense of identity 2:45 Memory gaps 3:14 Inability to cope with stress 3:55 Unrealness Dissociative Disorders are often co-morbid. (4:33) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As someone diagnosed with Dissociative Disorders I‘d like to add: - not having any sense of time because of amnesia (an hour can feel like 5min, the feeling of "loosing time") - somatization (inexplicable chronic pain or illness) - sometimes not being able to move or unvolontary movement (tick-like, but not like tourettes) - maybe dissociative seizures (has it’s own diagnosis in the ICD) - temporary or staying loss of one or more senses (psychogenic hearing loss, not being able to tell if being touched, not being affected by hot or cold weather etc) - altering between states of identity while having amnesia for them and hearing voices (DID specific) - living in a constant state of confusion about pretty much everything - often being told that you’re taking too much time for a task - being inexplicably tired all the time - having traumatic triggers for something but no memory to it or not knowing why some things trigger you heavily - frequent nightmares and/or panic attacks - not feeling like you could possibly be traumatized, nah, not you… (denial) - people you don‘t recognize treat you like they know you or maybe even adress you with a different name - you find yourself in places you never went to, doing things you don’t remember doing, posessing things you never bought, being able to do things well you never did before etc (DID specific) - struggeling to be organized - people around you feel like NPC‘s - procastinating or zoning out a lot (if you‘re not already dissociating, lol) - being unable to "see the bigger picture", thus working with details - needing some time to get where you are or being anxious when you wake up - not recognizing yourself in the mirror - self harm or attempted suicide (bonus points if you don‘t remember doing it) - not remembering your childhood or parts of it - hearing yourself as you speak like it’s another person - feeling like everything moves too fast Dissociation is so much more than feeling detached. It is genuinly life altering.
I have DID Half of your points are true for me The worse one is when you want to do something, but an other one doesn't want to do anything, so you're stuck. It can last a lot of time, and it's very boring.
i have DID and lotsa these apply to me but i never forget as much as ppl say i should or would , im aware of most things me and the others do , its not like , idk , but it just isnt like that for me
I'm glad you guys made this. I've become self aware of it from a TikTok and was shook when someone literally described how I interacted with the world until last year. Did some research and I'm now doing my best to stay grounded in reality and not run away
ive been suspecting i may have DID for about 8 months now and everything points to it. yet my parents suck and arent sending me to a therapist lmaooo... I've been waiting for an upload like this because this channel is usually my place for comfort. thank you, pysch2go
But just a fair warning, a black mold problem can make you feel this way as well! Sometimes people are living with black mold (or have it hiding in their workplace (e.g. inside of walls, vents, or floor boards) without realizing it. I thought that I was going crazy because I didn't realize I was living with black mold. I suffered from derealization (and depersonalization), felt fatigued all of the time, more irritable, my anxiety and depression got unbelievably worse, my mind always sensed danger (because the black mold was there), my vision was getting blurry, my skin was breaking out more frequently, and it seemed to have triggered a full-blown OCD (my guess is because my mind sensed danger) of which has calmed down now, but I can not get rid of it. I wish that doctors would consider this possibility and not shoo it off as if it were an outlandish idea.
@@user-xp2hs1dj9q Well what you can do is either, buy a kit to test the air for black mold; or you can call a professional to come over and test the air. If you think that it could be the cause of health issues, it would be worth a try. Or else I would consider moving to a different home, if that seems easier for you.
It’s incredible to see someone else that is so aware of the extent of black mold’s effects on people (and other animals, as well). Horrible stuff. It’s such a problem in the SF area. So many people here are being poisoned constantly and don’t even realize it. I’m curious how you discovered all this information about the mold? Did you do your own research? I only have second hand knowledge from my uncle who is a water damage specialist, so it’d be interesting to read some actual studies about it.
Just the thought of having to reach out to a therapist makes my stress levels spike. A lot of times I have the feeling that me and my body don't match. And when I've had a social event after it it always feels like a dream or it wasn't real, I often see myself in flashbacks of the event in like a 3th person view. It's weird
This hits different. Been going through depersonalization and depression most of my life and never thought anybody would understand what it's like so I thought I'd have to stay quiet about it. Glad Psych2go can help bring more light to these issues
This is what I feel most of the time on top of the sadness and anxiety I feel. This helped me a lot know why I fell like I’m watching myself on a video and why everything look like a prop from a play.
I saw this video awhile back and thought to myself that this was pretty strange and I couldn’t imagine how people experienced this. But lately I’ve noticed that I’ve begun to view my life like i’m playing a video game, like its not really happening and i’m just watching over my shoulder. I don’t notice that it’s happening until I sort of snap back into reality. Now I get it.
Thank you so much for this! We have DID already and have requested videos on dissociative disorders. The fact that the past 2 years (and still going) we have taken quizzes similar to this, gone through symptoms in the DSM-5 and asked psychiatrists, doctors and friends on what they think. It's always been hard for us to accept it (as I understand this happens for most systems), and harder for some more than others. It would be amazing to have more videos on dissociative disorders!
DID system here as well. "Waking up" (fronting) in a different town and not knowing how or when it happened is a real thing. Hugs to all the plurals from - The Orchestra System
Finally! Some recognition on dissociation disorders.. love this channel so much! Should of known it would be you guys that mention it first out of everyone I follow :’) legends!
i feel like i lost a lot last year but i m still standing because of your channel i lost my grandpa i got hated by the girl i love i was alone but the psych2GO family helped they was the light in my dark thank you 🥰🥰😄😄
VENT: I am 13 years old, I started developing depersonalization / derealization disorder when I was in my first relationship, stupidly it was online. I vented about them A LOT. It was mostly about them being emotionally abusive... When I searched for help, a few adults didn't believe me and thought I was way over my head... I kind of am for taking things seriously, but not right now, they were a jerk and very immature. They said things like: ''If we broke up, I'd kiss her.'' ''(her name) is cute.'' It was sort of a jealousy game. I hated it, it broke me. *I told them it hurt but they kept saying things like this.* It felt one-sided, and they never made time to hang out anymore just with their real life friends.... Now I'm scared to create any special connection with anyone or form relationships when I'm older online and in real life... I never used to be like this. I think it's my fault for checking on them all the time, I loved them a lot, but they lost interest I guess and school... they had other crushes who may have been better than me. You're right to think I shouldn't have been in a relationship this young, but I WAS, and it was BAD. You're also right for saying ''no relationship at your age will be serious.'' You're correct so I can't say anything about it. You won't take me seriously. I hope they aren't reading this, if you are, don't be shocked or hate me please, but please listen to the next girl u decide to be with, and don't say shit like that anymore... I said those to you too but only to make u value my worth again. I didn't do it as much as you did... Thanks for reading... edit: this is soooo cringe I'm sorry I'll delete it later
Don't delete this I relate to this in a different way even though I'm 16 and have never been in a relationship this started for me when I was around 14 I think and that key phrase I say to myself alot "I never used to be like this" something I highly relate to thanks for sharing.
I’ve recently come across this channel and Iam so glad I found it. It’s helped me understand anxiety and depression which I have been dealing (struggling) with my whole life. And that calm voice just helps so much. Thank you!
This was helpfull because I somtimes feel like I'm not part of my body, or am in a dream state sometimes, like my life is a movie, and that I'm not in control of myself. I feel sometimes detached from myself, like I have 2 or more people living inside me- not knowing witch "person" or "voice" is relly me or not, or who I actually am. Somtimes when I'm walking I eaven feel detached from my body or that I'v bliped out of reality. I think this is mainly from ptsd. In life because of some family issues, and my tunability to self-validate my own feelings, or at least I think there my own, iv mixed up opposing feelings, wondering if there authentic thoughts and memories, or if im being "fake"
I'm really thankful for this channel, you guys are always so informative and nice and understanding, more than my family! Than you guys so much for being here it's nice to have a channel that always has a positive outlook on life and mental health.
Could you do a video on specifically dissociative identity disorder? I’ve been wondering if I have it and I love how simple your videos are to understand.
I have done allot of research of Dissociative disorders and this has helped me realize that I should talk with a medical professional to get the help needed
For the longest time, I have felt exstracted from reality, every mistake that I made I would always hate myself and try to forget and never move on. I tried to fight against myself but never remembered or realized why until I had a mental breakdown that split across multiple of weeks. As this went on, I came to my senses that I don't remember my past, I forgot some events that happened to me. All of the hate and self doubt kind of manifested in my mind that makes me hate instead of trying to forgive and overcome, yet I still try to persist and overcome these fears of mine.
How do you “do less” when you aren’t even really doing anything to begin with? The stress is enough to push you away completely, despite how much if effects important things. I get exhausted just from the thought, but then hate myself for doing nothing. It’s a vicious cycle fr💀
I guess what they're trying to say is, just take some dedicated time to focus on yourself. Even if it's just taking a half an hour each day, where you're not to stress out about what you aren't doing, but do something that makes you feel good. For me it's usually something along the lines of having a tea and sketching while listening to music😌 but it's different for everyone else, so you could take a walk or read or watch TV or shower, whatever makes you feel good. This little boost of self-care can really help❤ and I think it's important to make it a daily habit
I am soooooo happy they did this, I commented something like this on one of their videos cause I knew that it would help with many people for example DID/dissociative identity disorder is very common although many don’t know what it is!
I have had some episodes of both dissociation and deperzonalisation but I have no disorder, I hope people who has gone through it don't panic and have a bad time, just remember that the human mind isn't perfect and some unexpected changes in your way of perceiving reality may happen some day, and you won't change in any way because of it.
I remember telling my therapist about never feeling like myself, like I was faking my personality for everyone around me, and that I just didn’t know who I was anymore. She told me it was totally normal and it was nothing to worry about. Years later, I have the same therapist and I’m not sure if I should bring up the fact that I’m having a hard time improving any part of my life because I still feel like 3 different people who are struggling to do anything because she told me it was normal.):
It doesn't hurt to bring it up again and you could ask for a second opinion from a different professional, so you could get a different perspective on it. I hope you can find the help and support for what you need
OMG YOU GUYS ALWAYS POST EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT/GOING THROUGH. I was talking to my friend about her experience with dissociation and her trying to figure out if she's a potentially a system
We have OSDD1B (and if anyone sees this, ask any questions you'd like. They're really nice and fun for us to answer). It's confusing to deal with cause it's basically DID except we can share/see each other's memories and can't fall back into an inner world even though we have one. We can't consciously go to them - escape to them. There are 4-5 of us that we are currently aware of but think there are ones that are far back/dormant. Aka "not active". Only 3 of us have fronted before. I'm the host. Recently, I've been rather lonely in the system. They haven't really been around but I think that's the time of year and my medication I'm taking. If any of you feel like you may have a disorder, even if you think you're faking or crazy, just remember: if you were faking, you would know you are. That got through my denial because it's hard to feel like it's real when we share our memories. Make sure you do thorough research and take time to piece everything together
I do sometimes voluntarily dissociate, but sometimes it happens on its own. It's pretty comforting but unfortunately I have been told it's not healthy and should stop. It really is a coping mechanism.
Yea Psych2Go u really did well putting together this video I'm happy that your trying to spread awareness about these things and the quiz was fun I answered C,C, and B am I fine?
I don know if you saw my email but that's exactly what I was asking for. Except stress i relate to every other sign ..... I thought it is just my childish imagination but turns out it was one out of many mental illnes i have...thank you soo much for this video.
Wow... All the promps felt very relatable. I feel like I finally found what has been happening to me since the beginning of the year. I'm genuinely crying :')
Ah. It's kinda nice to know I'm not going crazy. I work fast food and I have found myself taking entire orders and after I'm done I sometimes snap back and have to double check on what I did. It can be frightening. But I'ma just keep going. Therapy is too expensive rn but it's nice to know I'm going through something normal! So thanks👍
When I get too stressed I feel so overwhelmed that anything near me get pushed off of where it was and I just have to retreat to somewhere with no one else there or I’ll lash out at them it’s happened at school before and the person that saw it happen looked at me as if I was going crazy and I thought the same, glad to know I’m not 👍
To be honest I thought I was alone in this I do occasionally feel disconnected from the world- more then I like to admit especially feelings like nothing is real not even myself-Ive been aware of this for awhile but didn't know what it was called or the right way to describe the feeling or how to stop it- I honestly thoughtbi was going insane
I've noticed I zone out often when stressed out and I thought I was just a bit weird or that it was normal when you have ADHD but after watching this i started thinking more on it and am now questioning things about myself
I searched up dissociative disorders to figure myself out. I have been diagnosed formally with depersonalization/derealization disorder, but there was always so much more that hasn’t fit. Why do I feel like someone else? Why don’t I recognize myself in the mirror? Why do I feel as if I have a completely different personality or gender? Why can’t I remember what I did today well? Why does this happen to me? I’m still not entirely sure what’s wrong with me, but I guess it helps a bit to know that I’m not alone
One core memory I will never forget is how I felt at my brothers marriage party. Few things about me: • I absolutely HATE being in crowded places for longer than needed. Im more of a "lone wanderer" type. • Im not exactly a talking person either, more of an "observer". • I like to daydream a lot. Really a lot. So what happened at the said party is I basically havent participated in any game there. This is not what matters though. I felt like Im watching everything occur in front of me from third person perspective. It was very weird.
I believe Maladaptive Daydreaming can trigger dissociative episodes because it puts you into a hypnotic-like state that can blur your perception of reality the more intense and repeated exposure you have to daydreams. The more you do it the more detailed these fantasies become and thus harder to cease, initiating a new yet not healthy cycle. I experience this sort of case so maybe you could as well?
Im in a system and the way we view dissociation (not just the disorders) is on a linear spectrum (to keep it simple) and all the further right parts on the scale include symptoms of that to the left of it. The spectrum begins with general dissociation, often referred to as “zoning out”, which is something many people experience, then dpdr further down, and plurality much further towards the end. So, someone with dpdr is likely to “zone out” and someone with did (or osdd-1a/-1b) is likely to experience both zoning out and dpdr This is by no means gospel, and is just our current understanding, but i thought id share - Chloe
It happens a lot in school, and it's usually like this. I'm just sitting at my desk doing work until I zone out, and when I look around, everything just looks weird, and feels weird. When I look at a blinded window, it feels like there's nothing outside and I'm just alone and isolated in an empty room, a box. If someone was talking to me, I can't hear it and I don't remember what they were saying. Sometimes it just feels like I'm not even in my body, like I'm miles away trying to control it and do something, but it's just stiff and won't move. The ones that hurt the most is when I'm surrounded by so many people, like at a family gathering or a packed area at school, I feel so alone, like I'm actually nonexistent and just observing. Sometimes I forget I have a body.
I work as a teacher and my supervisors play horrendous tricks on me. I sent children to the rest 3 girls, and two boys. When the girls returned, I sent another set of children to the restroom. However, the three children snuck out of the room so now there are about 7 children in the restroom. My supervisor brought the children back and spoke rudely to me saying “ 7 children, really” I was in shock but didn’t realize that the children snuck out of the room at the time. After I had a moment to process I realized that my supervisor knew that and took advantage of me in that moment. Then it was being done over and over. I know this because there are cameras all over the school. So they are just taking advantage of me and my trauma response.
Princess Tutu??? In my Psych2Go video??? It's more likely than you think! Oh the joy I felt when I saw Tutu here, I'm so giddy, she's not the most popular especially since the anime is 20 years old, but I'm thrilled to see her get some attention!!! I used to dissociate back when I was going through a really rough time. I was going to therapy, my depression and anxiety were at an all time high, i was very stressed, and I would cope by dissociating and having an out of body experience where I was detached from my body for some time. It was both scary and unreal, but it happened. Now that I'm in a much better place, I don't go through those experiences anymore. I hope that anyone who is going through this is able to find the proper help they need in order to heal!
i used to always describe it as feeling like everyone is acting or LARPing but i’m never able to get into character. like everyone else seems more able to just *be* who they are but it’s like i’m always a little too aware that the person inside my head and the person i am out in the world are not the same person, and then i spiral off about how every individual has a different version of me from their own perspective and i get extremely overwhelmed by that thought very quickly. idk, i’ve always struggled with the whole theory of mind thing, it’s always freaked me out for some reason
This was an interesting video. My answers for the quiz were 1:A 2:C 3:B, and I'm not sure what to make of it. I mean, I space out a lot, I tend to have large gaps in my most recent memories, and sometimes I feel like something is controlling my body, as if it was on some sort of internal autopilot. And I just realized something. I often talk to myself in my head like, "thanks, brain. Real helpful for that stupid decision," like I'm talking to another person. Is that normal? It doesn't feel normal. But then, neither is shutting down and letting the patterns my brain has memorized guide me through the day, is it? I notice it a lot at work. I just get lost in my imagination, bored out of my mind, while my body just goes through the motions. The heck is wrong with me?
I don’t know if I have it but here’s my experience with feeling “out of body” (I’m not saying I do have the disorder) Sometimes I zone out and I feel extremely calm, and my mind goes blank. Sometimes I can just hear my own breathing and heartbeat, rarely my ears would starting ringing. I know I can move but I don’t, it’s like when you’re watching TikTok or RUclips and you HAVE to get up and do something but your body just isn’t letting you go so it.
This can also lead to stress if you just focus too much over things in your life. Just when everything started as the greatest day can become a roling coaster at the same time. We easily forget what we planned to do that sometimes spontanious actions can help you from that stressful moment. we are born to live our best lifes and not to make it hard on our selves. Let things go and start living.
Sometimes I feel like reality collapses for a brief second. While in that second i can see what would be able to see what is "outside" Of my life's screen.
Do you ever feel like you’re doing things much differently from how other people do it even though you’re just new to accomplishing the same task? Yeah.
During online school I got super stressed and then ended up feeling detached from school, friends, and my family. I remember almost nothing from that time and had to get my transcript just to remember what classes I took not even a year later
Thanks for your content my friend. Ive mentioned you to my therapist and she kinda chuckled. But im gonna share this one to her to show that your my counselor when it takes too long to see her again. Last i think she told me was that i deal with "sensory stimulation" . No biggy , but could you do a clip on that? I'd love to hear another persons opinion on that. It new to me and imma bing it up again on Tuesday. TY again.
All these years, I thought I was a psycho. I stare at myself in the mirror and jump back in fear. Those eyes scare me. But why. It’s like it’s not me. People would think that I am faking it for attention. But is it my choice? I feel like there’s 2 people inside of me. Like I ain’t 1 person. They act so different. When I am in an argument or in a group of people or sad/angry I feel so different and unusual. It’s like everything is grey and I want to scream “SHUT UP!”. But when I am at school, I am so different and so kind to others and i may seem like a person with a perfect life… but I wish my life was perfect.
For my experience: I often feel like I'm taking the back seat when there's someone else driving/holding the controller. Most times I can't look in the and recognize the person I see. Sometimes my memories are vague or non-existent but it's not that common. Being called fake is a major trigger world no matter who is in control. Even if I'm sure it's me, I hate the word. But I, nowadays, can mostly recognize it's not me. I hear thoughts and voices that aren't mine either. It's definitely not DID or I'd have no memory at off what happens when I take a backseat. I think I may have OSDD but sometimes I doubt myself and wonder if I'm completely delusional.
Spending 2 weeks on Kauai was a derealization experience. Driving the roads and looking out the window was like being on a movie set. It looked like hundreds of people came out at night and raked and trimmed the roadway landscapes . Everything looked too perfect to be real. It also started to feel very small there, way out in the middle of nowhere. Plus flying several hours out over the Pacific was a little unnerving in a two engine aircraft.
I think I answered a to every answer😑 I don't feel like my surroundings are real, sometimes I feel like I'm not really doing things in this fake world. I don't feel like myself
i often have moments where my surroundings look fake, i sometimes look in the mirror and don't see myself, and i spent about 3 hours talking to the other voice in my head through the notes app. he named himself i think. sometimes i can't even tell how he feels, when i'm talking to him, though a lot of the time i can. he thinks he's a fictional character. i can't sleep. i don't know what to do.

This video literally made me cry. I thought I was crazy because I have often felt like I was an outsider who was watching my life on a video. I would also sit in front of the mirror and not recognize the person in the mirror was me.
You are not lone!
Same here...💀💔
It's ok you'll be fine
We in this together
I Remember to have experienced the same during middle school
in my experience:
- I don't remember what we did for the day.
- feels like I'm not fully in control (sense of multiple people coordinating as one-ish)
- either we go numb and foggy when trauma resurfaces or when there's a disagreement within myself
- using 1st and 2nd POV interchangeably
- loss of sense of time (brain fog)
- living vicariously through my own eyes
- partial loneliness, but never feeling alone when I'm alone
- memories feel like a dream
- we don't feel that others are NPCs (not often), but I feel like an NPC myself
- I feel like a part of me feels the triggers while the rest don't at the moment. we try to comfort myself.
I don't really have a sense of self, but I don't know what else to call it. I don't wanna use DID loosely, as I still will have to go to a therapist to help me with all of that.
edit: most of my answers were B
Everything you said here is how I feel except for maybe 1 of them and for all of the questions I chose B too, I'm just happy I'm not alone I truly thought it was only me and it was making me go even more insane because I felt no one would be able to relate to me and I wouldn't be able to explain it. Thank you.
@@mikamighty1607 glad I inadvertently helped you understand yourself a little more
i have the exact same experience, and I also picked B for all of the questions. i’ve been looking into it and I want to talk to someone about it but im worried to reach out.
I truly hope for the best in your therapy process so that you can figure out what's going on in your own head. This video, while very helful, did not go into OSDD or UDD (otherwise specified dissociative disorder and unspecidied dissociative disorder respectively), and if you strongly feel connections to the experience of DID, but just different enough that you wouldn't wan't to consider it that, you may want to do some research on OSDD-1 as it is a dissociative disorder that has a lot of traits and experiences in common with DID. I will note that finding information on OSDD-1, especially anything helpful or comprehensible, is very difficult, so your best bet just may be youtube. If you do want to look into it, i'd recommend videos by OSDD creators and medical professionals alike so that you can get an understanding of the clinical and personal sides of OSDD
I'm exactly the same mate❤
All answers were B
For anyone experiencing disassociation, I hope everything gets better
I have DID, so this makes me happy, thank you :)
thanks. sense of self/selves get confusing at times. we're hoping to be better in life. thanks for checking in on me.
Thank you..
Thanks
How long takes this
A lot of times when I'm stressed I start to feel like I'm not in control of my own body, and it would often scare me. I'm glad to find out that this is an actual thing and not something I made up lmao.
Same. The combination of a lot of stress and not that much sleep can lead to a bit of this for me as well as more deja vu
dissociation can be caused by anxiety, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a separate disorder
That's quite common to stressed individuals, it's not always a disorder
I feel the same
@@skittles9975 the deja vu feeling is what I always get, and while I have that feeling, it feels like it’s happening to someone else
Usually that happens when I’m about to faint due to low blood pressure
i felt this way all the time when i was 12/13, my mom got cancer (she's ok now) and i was extremely scared, my brain tried to shut off any emotions to cope without me even realising. for the longest time i thought i was fine and that it didn't affect me, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. i remember looking at my hands and at my surroundings and thinking, is this really me? i felt like i was in a movie, watching someone else. it felt like i was moving on auto pilot and not by my own free will. i have so many gaps in my memory from those days too... when my mom told me what was happening to me, and that she hadn't seen me smile genuinely in years, my heart shattered but everthing suddenly made sense. this still happens to me sometimes when i'm going through a hard time, but now i know what it is and why it happens and i can control it better. i'm 22 and i'm still working on fully unlocking my emotions
I'm DID & C-PTSD. Thank you for addressing dissociative disorders. There's much stigma & misunderstanding around these disorders which makes finding & receiving help very difficult. They also feed into shame, depression, & fear.
This happened to me frequently living with my abusive mother. One day it got so bad I started hallucinating as well.. along with the disassociation and ended up in a hospital for a couple of months. Going through trauma is no joke.. it can break you.
Have you had this since you were a kid? So do you have DID?
I hope this channel never ends and keep spreading happiness ❤️
I agree.
*I do tend to dissociate a lot due to PTSD but I never realized it can be a disorder, thank you for bringing me more awareness to it!*
my friend says that she might be suffering from dissociative disorder and I'm watching this video just to help her. Thank you for posting this! I appreciate it very much because of the potential it has to help others
I've been dissociating since I was a kid, often so lost in thoughts that I forget where I am or what I'm doing. I can go to a store or take baths and not be present, then have that realisation that I'm doing a task at this moment. It's a coping mechanism that I fostered because I was too stressed growing up for multiple reasons (abusive parents, bullying, loneliness) and would go on to create fantasy, ideal version of myself. Once I got injured because of it, and since then, I've made conscious effort to be present in the moment. Because I tend to resort to my daydreaming, I'm incredibly bad at dealing with real life stress (too irritable, emotional and neglectful of myself) and feel that constant pull of just immersing myself in my daydream worlds or consume media so I don't have to face the issues. I still struggle so much with stress and it affects my performance and relationships, but I'm glad that I'm now able to acknowledge my problem and look for better ways of managing. It hasn't been easy, but I genuinely feel happy now and intrested in my own growth, even when I get depressed or too anxious sometimes.
You know, there's a subreddit just on maladaptive daydreaming.

I got scared from my reflection, not because I'm ugly but it didn't feel like that was me. So, whenever I get another episode (which is like every day) I avoid mirrors...
This is a very nice thing to do thank you
I have depersonalization derealization disorder and it sucks SO BAD I can’t even drive because when I try I get such bad anxiety I start disassociating and it fucks up my reaction time and ability to observe my surroundings. I’ve had this disorder for as long as I remember and I have no idea what caused it but I feel like I’ve missed out on so much of my life because it’s literally felt like I was trapped in my own head. I don’t wish this on anyone.
Dissociative Disorder Quiz:
Do you…
0:13 1) …have frequent memory gaps?
0:28 2) …r sourroundings feel twodimensional?
0:45 3) … feel detached from yourself?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1:41 There are three types of dissociative disorders (according to the DSM5, ICD11 lists more):
- Dissociative Identity Disorder
- Dissociative Amnesia
- Depersonnalisation-Derealization-Disorder
Traits of Dissociation:
1:49 Feeling detached
2:19 A blurred sense of identity
2:45 Memory gaps
3:14 Inability to cope with stress
3:55 Unrealness
Dissociative Disorders are often co-morbid.
(4:33)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As someone diagnosed with Dissociative Disorders I‘d like to add:
- not having any sense of time because of amnesia (an hour can feel like 5min, the feeling of "loosing time")
- somatization (inexplicable chronic pain or illness)
- sometimes not being able to move or unvolontary movement (tick-like, but not like tourettes)
- maybe dissociative seizures (has it’s own diagnosis in the ICD)
- temporary or staying loss of one or more senses (psychogenic hearing loss, not being able to tell if being touched, not being affected by hot or cold weather etc)
- altering between states of identity while having amnesia for them and hearing voices (DID specific)
- living in a constant state of confusion about pretty much everything
- often being told that you’re taking too much time for a task
- being inexplicably tired all the time
- having traumatic triggers for something but no memory to it or not knowing why some things trigger you heavily
- frequent nightmares and/or panic attacks
- not feeling like you could possibly be traumatized, nah, not you… (denial)
- people you don‘t recognize treat you like they know you or maybe even adress you with a different name
- you find yourself in places you never went to, doing things you don’t remember doing, posessing things you never bought, being able to do things well you never did before etc (DID specific)
- struggeling to be organized
- people around you feel like NPC‘s
- procastinating or zoning out a lot (if you‘re not already dissociating, lol)
- being unable to "see the bigger picture", thus working with details
- needing some time to get where you are or being anxious when you wake up
- not recognizing yourself in the mirror
- self harm or attempted suicide (bonus points if you don‘t remember doing it)
- not remembering your childhood or parts of it
- hearing yourself as you speak like it’s another person
- feeling like everything moves too fast
Dissociation is so much more than feeling detached. It is genuinly life altering.
I have DID
Half of your points are true for me
The worse one is when you want to do something, but an other one doesn't want to do anything, so you're stuck. It can last a lot of time, and it's very boring.
i have DID and lotsa these apply to me but i never forget as much as ppl say i should or would , im aware of most things me and the others do , its not like , idk , but it just isnt like that for me
@@parapparappin2727 Me too, I remember almost everything, but it's blurry and I know it wasn't me
Thank you for this. It helps me piece things together !!
I relate to a lot of these. Something hard for me is my mom constantly yelling at me for forgetting things she's said or told me to do.
I'm glad you guys made this. I've become self aware of it from a TikTok and was shook when someone literally described how I interacted with the world until last year. Did some research and I'm now doing my best to stay grounded in reality and not run away
ive been suspecting i may have DID for about 8 months now and everything points to it. yet my parents suck and arent sending me to a therapist lmaooo... I've been waiting for an upload like this because this channel is usually my place for comfort. thank you, pysch2go
Get new parents
Yeah I agree. Get new parents.
But just a fair warning, a black mold problem can make you feel this way as well! Sometimes people are living with black mold (or have it hiding in their workplace (e.g. inside of walls, vents, or floor boards) without realizing it. I thought that I was going crazy because I didn't realize I was living with black mold. I suffered from derealization (and depersonalization), felt fatigued all of the time, more irritable, my anxiety and depression got unbelievably worse, my mind always sensed danger (because the black mold was there), my vision was getting blurry, my skin was breaking out more frequently, and it seemed to have triggered a full-blown OCD (my guess is because my mind sensed danger) of which has calmed down now, but I can not get rid of it. I wish that doctors would consider this possibility and not shoo it off as if it were an outlandish idea.
Maybe there’s a black mold in my room too…? Should I live somewhere else so I can feel normal again?
@@user-xp2hs1dj9q Well what you can do is either, buy a kit to test the air for black mold; or you can call a professional to come over and test the air. If you think that it could be the cause of health issues, it would be worth a try. Or else I would consider moving to a different home, if that seems easier for you.
It’s incredible to see someone else that is so aware of the extent of black mold’s effects on people (and other animals, as well). Horrible stuff. It’s such a problem in the SF area. So many people here are being poisoned constantly and don’t even realize it.
I’m curious how you discovered all this information about the mold? Did you do your own research? I only have second hand knowledge from my uncle who is a water damage specialist, so it’d be interesting to read some actual studies about it.
Yeah there’s so much mold in my room but no one will help me💀
Can you please do a video about how to stay positive and love yourself when you’re living in an emotionally abusive household? ❤️
As a person going through prodome, and in a sevre disassociative phase, I pray for your respite and good health to you all going through this.
Just the thought of having to reach out to a therapist makes my stress levels spike. A lot of times I have the feeling that me and my body don't match. And when I've had a social event after it it always feels like a dream or it wasn't real, I often see myself in flashbacks of the event in like a 3th person view. It's weird
This hits different. Been going through depersonalization and depression most of my life and never thought anybody would understand what it's like so I thought I'd have to stay quiet about it. Glad Psych2go can help bring more light to these issues
As an alter of a DID a system this is going to be good
This is what I feel most of the time on top of the sadness and anxiety I feel. This helped me a lot know why I fell like I’m watching myself on a video and why everything look like a prop from a play.
I saw this video awhile back and thought to myself that this was pretty strange and I couldn’t imagine how people experienced this. But lately I’ve noticed that I’ve begun to view my life like i’m playing a video game, like its not really happening and i’m just watching over my shoulder. I don’t notice that it’s happening until I sort of snap back into reality. Now I get it.
Thank you so much for this! We have DID already and have requested videos on dissociative disorders. The fact that the past 2 years (and still going) we have taken quizzes similar to this, gone through symptoms in the DSM-5 and asked psychiatrists, doctors and friends on what they think. It's always been hard for us to accept it (as I understand this happens for most systems), and harder for some more than others. It would be amazing to have more videos on dissociative disorders!
We have DID too! From one system to another, hope you all are doing well and continue to do so :) ❤️❤️
DID system here as well. "Waking up" (fronting) in a different town and not knowing how or when it happened is a real thing. Hugs to all the plurals from - The Orchestra System
💙💙💙 we combined. I hope y’all are doing well
Finally! Some recognition on dissociation disorders.. love this channel so much! Should of known it would be you guys that mention it first out of everyone I follow :’) legends!
Have a nice day :) Your smile is the most powerful and precious thing in this world.
i feel like i lost a lot last year but i m still standing because of your channel i lost my grandpa i got hated by the girl i love i was alone but the psych2GO family helped they was the light in my dark thank you 🥰🥰😄😄
VENT:
I am 13 years old, I started developing depersonalization / derealization disorder when I was in my first relationship, stupidly it was online. I vented about them A LOT. It was mostly about them being emotionally abusive...
When I searched for help, a few adults didn't believe me and thought I was way over my head... I kind of am for taking things seriously, but not right now, they were a jerk and very immature. They said things like: ''If we broke up, I'd kiss her.'' ''(her name) is cute.'' It was sort of a jealousy game. I hated it, it broke me. *I told them it hurt but they kept saying things like this.* It felt one-sided, and they never made time to hang out anymore just with their real life friends.... Now I'm scared to create any special connection with anyone or form relationships when I'm older online and in real life... I never used to be like this.
I think it's my fault for checking on them all the time, I loved them a lot, but they lost interest I guess and school... they had other crushes who may have been better than me.
You're right to think I shouldn't have been in a relationship this young, but I WAS, and it was BAD. You're also right for saying ''no relationship at your age will be serious.'' You're correct so I can't say anything about it. You won't take me seriously.
I hope they aren't reading this, if you are, don't be shocked or hate me please, but please listen to the next girl u decide to be with, and don't say shit like that anymore... I said those to you too but only to make u value my worth again. I didn't do it as much as you did...
Thanks for reading...
edit: this is soooo cringe I'm sorry I'll delete it later
Don't delete this I relate to this in a different way even though I'm 16 and have never been in a relationship this started for me when I was around 14 I think and that key phrase I say to myself alot "I never used to be like this" something I highly relate to thanks for sharing.
I’ve recently come across this channel and Iam so glad I found it. It’s helped me understand anxiety and depression which I have been dealing (struggling) with my whole life. And that calm voice just helps so much. Thank you!
As one of the Hosts of an OSDD-1b System, I'm happy that this video is made and love all of your video. - 💙 (Ghostbur, a host of Th3 Z0d1ac Syst3m)
time for another incredibly relatable video
This was helpfull because I somtimes feel like I'm not part of my body, or am in a dream state sometimes, like my life is a movie, and that I'm not in control of myself. I feel sometimes detached from myself, like I have 2 or more people living inside me- not knowing witch "person" or "voice" is relly me or not, or who I actually am. Somtimes when I'm walking I eaven feel detached from my body or that I'v bliped out of reality. I think this is mainly from ptsd. In life because of some family issues, and my tunability to self-validate my own feelings, or at least I think there my own, iv mixed up opposing feelings, wondering if there authentic thoughts and memories, or if im being "fake"
I'm really thankful for this channel, you guys are always so informative and nice and understanding, more than my family! Than you guys so much for being here it's nice to have a channel that always has a positive outlook on life and mental health.
Could you do a video on specifically dissociative identity disorder? I’ve been wondering if I have it and I love how simple your videos are to understand.
videos on that exist on the channel already
@@casualamber it’s old tho
I have done allot of research of Dissociative disorders and this has helped me realize that I should talk with a medical professional to get the help needed
HOLY WHAT!!!! THIS IS CRAZY HOW IVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE, THIS IS LEGIT ME BRO
Us, a multiple, seeing this video: “You don’t say.”
It was fairly clear when we started realising ourselves as a plural that something was up.
Awesome! Im super excited you made a Dissociative Disorders video, I love the topic and am very interested in it
This video made the realization I was afflicted a lot easier to handle, thank you
I swear you guys always have such good timing..I was just looking up stuff on this topic!! Thanks for posting :) ❤
For the longest time, I have felt exstracted from reality, every mistake that I made I would always hate myself and try to forget and never move on. I tried to fight against myself but never remembered or realized why until I had a mental breakdown that split across multiple of weeks. As this went on, I came to my senses that I don't remember my past, I forgot some events that happened to me. All of the hate and self doubt kind of manifested in my mind that makes me hate instead of trying to forgive and overcome, yet I still try to persist and overcome these fears of mine.
How do you “do less” when you aren’t even really doing anything to begin with? The stress is enough to push you away completely, despite how much if effects important things. I get exhausted just from the thought, but then hate myself for doing nothing. It’s a vicious cycle fr💀
I guess what they're trying to say is, just take some dedicated time to focus on yourself. Even if it's just taking a half an hour each day, where you're not to stress out about what you aren't doing, but do something that makes you feel good. For me it's usually something along the lines of having a tea and sketching while listening to music😌 but it's different for everyone else, so you could take a walk or read or watch TV or shower, whatever makes you feel good. This little boost of self-care can really help❤ and I think it's important to make it a daily habit
My day to day consists of not much at all these days but it doesn't really solve anything
I am soooooo happy they did this, I commented something like this on one of their videos cause I knew that it would help with many people for example DID/dissociative identity disorder is very common although many don’t know what it is!
I have had some episodes of both dissociation and deperzonalisation but I have no disorder, I hope people who has gone through it don't panic and have a bad time, just remember that the human mind isn't perfect and some unexpected changes in your way of perceiving reality may happen some day, and you won't change in any way because of it.
I remember telling my therapist about never feeling like myself, like I was faking my personality for everyone around me, and that I just didn’t know who I was anymore. She told me it was totally normal and it was nothing to worry about. Years later, I have the same therapist and I’m not sure if I should bring up the fact that I’m having a hard time improving any part of my life because I still feel like 3 different people who are struggling to do anything because she told me it was normal.):
It doesn't hurt to bring it up again and you could ask for a second opinion from a different professional, so you could get a different perspective on it. I hope you can find the help and support for what you need
Many combat veterans experience this and cannot explain it to their behavioral health specialist. Great job.
OMG YOU GUYS ALWAYS POST EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT/GOING THROUGH. I was talking to my friend about her experience with dissociation and her trying to figure out if she's a potentially a system
I've never felt so understood. And never related to anything so much. I needed this.
We have OSDD1B (and if anyone sees this, ask any questions you'd like. They're really nice and fun for us to answer). It's confusing to deal with cause it's basically DID except we can share/see each other's memories and can't fall back into an inner world even though we have one. We can't consciously go to them - escape to them. There are 4-5 of us that we are currently aware of but think there are ones that are far back/dormant. Aka "not active". Only 3 of us have fronted before. I'm the host. Recently, I've been rather lonely in the system. They haven't really been around but I think that's the time of year and my medication I'm taking. If any of you feel like you may have a disorder, even if you think you're faking or crazy, just remember: if you were faking, you would know you are. That got through my denial because it's hard to feel like it's real when we share our memories. Make sure you do thorough research and take time to piece everything together
Nah mate.
@@joban4963 what part was that to?
@@inkazen All of it.
@@joban4963 uhh well okay I mean the reaction is odd considering you watched this video but you do you
@@inkazen This behaviour isn't cute. People have to really deal with these issues.
I do sometimes voluntarily dissociate, but sometimes it happens on its own. It's pretty comforting but unfortunately I have been told it's not healthy and should stop. It really is a coping mechanism.
Good job with this video
Yea Psych2Go u really did well putting together this video I'm happy that your trying to spread awareness about these things and the quiz was fun I answered C,C, and B am I fine?
Thank you so much! I'm glad this video delivers well. 💖
We aren’t crazy guys, we are real, we’re here, what happened happened, but we’re here and we’re ok
I don know if you saw my email but that's exactly what I was asking for. Except stress i relate to every other sign ..... I thought it is just my childish imagination but turns out it was one out of many mental illnes i have...thank you soo much for this video.
Wow... All the promps felt very relatable. I feel like I finally found what has been happening to me since the beginning of the year. I'm genuinely crying :')
Ah. It's kinda nice to know I'm not going crazy. I work fast food and I have found myself taking entire orders and after I'm done I sometimes snap back and have to double check on what I did. It can be frightening. But I'ma just keep going. Therapy is too expensive rn but it's nice to know I'm going through something normal! So thanks👍
I'm so early! Thanks for making helpful content!
we found out we have DID 2.5 months ago and, and I'm glad y'all made this respectful informative video
When I get too stressed I feel so overwhelmed that anything near me get pushed off of where it was and I just have to retreat to somewhere with no one else there or I’ll lash out at them it’s happened at school before and the person that saw it happen looked at me as if I was going crazy and I thought the same, glad to know I’m not 👍
To be honest I thought I was alone in this I do occasionally feel disconnected from the world- more then I like to admit especially feelings like nothing is real not even myself-Ive been aware of this for awhile but didn't know what it was called or the right way to describe the feeling or how to stop it- I honestly thoughtbi was going insane
Same here I truly thought I was alone and it was mind fucking me so much because I couldn't explain it and I felt no one could relate to me
I've noticed I zone out often when stressed out and I thought I was just a bit weird or that it was normal when you have ADHD but after watching this i started thinking more on it and am now questioning things about myself
I searched up dissociative disorders to figure myself out. I have been diagnosed formally with depersonalization/derealization disorder, but there was always so much more that hasn’t fit. Why do I feel like someone else? Why don’t I recognize myself in the mirror? Why do I feel as if I have a completely different personality or gender? Why can’t I remember what I did today well? Why does this happen to me? I’m still not entirely sure what’s wrong with me, but I guess it helps a bit to know that I’m not alone
A lot of times it will feel like i'm entirely thoughts, not even like I'm watching myself, I become aware of nothing around me and tune everything out
1:58 Umaru-chan reference! That's perfect!
Thank you for noticing! 💖
One core memory I will never forget is how I felt at my brothers marriage party. Few things about me:
• I absolutely HATE being in crowded places for longer than needed. Im more of a "lone wanderer" type.
• Im not exactly a talking person either, more of an "observer".
• I like to daydream a lot. Really a lot.
So what happened at the said party is I basically havent participated in any game there. This is not what matters though. I felt like Im watching everything occur in front of me from third person perspective. It was very weird.
I believe Maladaptive Daydreaming can trigger dissociative episodes because it puts you into a hypnotic-like state that can blur your perception of reality the more intense and repeated exposure you have to daydreams. The more you do it the more detailed these fantasies become and thus harder to cease, initiating a new yet not healthy cycle. I experience this sort of case so maybe you could as well?
Quite a word to think about while the world is turning wilder .
Did I mention how much I LOVE these videos?! ❤
Im in a system and the way we view dissociation (not just the disorders) is on a linear spectrum (to keep it simple) and all the further right parts on the scale include symptoms of that to the left of it. The spectrum begins with general dissociation, often referred to as “zoning out”, which is something many people experience, then dpdr further down, and plurality much further towards the end. So, someone with dpdr is likely to “zone out” and someone with did (or osdd-1a/-1b) is likely to experience both zoning out and dpdr
This is by no means gospel, and is just our current understanding, but i thought id share - Chloe
For my derealization, is the two dee one and the detachment one. I see it as a sketch instead of props, and sometimes I feel both.
I thought that viewing the world as a dream and that it's not real was all in my head..thank you for showing me I need help.
It happens a lot in school, and it's usually like this. I'm just sitting at my desk doing work until I zone out, and when I look around, everything just looks weird, and feels weird. When I look at a blinded window, it feels like there's nothing outside and I'm just alone and isolated in an empty room, a box. If someone was talking to me, I can't hear it and I don't remember what they were saying. Sometimes it just feels like I'm not even in my body, like I'm miles away trying to control it and do something, but it's just stiff and won't move. The ones that hurt the most is when I'm surrounded by so many people, like at a family gathering or a packed area at school, I feel so alone, like I'm actually nonexistent and just observing.
Sometimes I forget I have a body.
I work as a teacher and my supervisors play horrendous tricks on me. I sent children to the rest 3 girls, and two boys. When the girls returned, I sent another set of children to the restroom. However, the three children snuck out of the room so now there are about 7 children in the restroom. My supervisor brought the children back and spoke rudely to me saying “ 7 children, really” I was in shock but didn’t realize that the children snuck out of the room at the time. After I had a moment to process I realized that my supervisor knew that and took advantage of me in that moment. Then it was being done over and over. I know this because there are cameras all over the school. So they are just taking advantage of me and my trauma response.
So glad you made a video on this, but a few points were missed. Don't forget there's OSDD, MaDD, and UDD! Anyways, keep up the good work.

I even feel weird while watching this omg, i’m tipping this and it feels unreal, bro
5:16 made me realize so much.. There's been moments in my life where, there's this white flash.. And then I feel like I'm in some video game..
Princess Tutu??? In my Psych2Go video??? It's more likely than you think! Oh the joy I felt when I saw Tutu here, I'm so giddy, she's not the most popular especially since the anime is 20 years old, but I'm thrilled to see her get some attention!!!
I used to dissociate back when I was going through a really rough time. I was going to therapy, my depression and anxiety were at an all time high, i was very stressed, and I would cope by dissociating and having an out of body experience where I was detached from my body for some time. It was both scary and unreal, but it happened. Now that I'm in a much better place, I don't go through those experiences anymore. I hope that anyone who is going through this is able to find the proper help they need in order to heal!
Yessss, it's time to give her the spotlight she deserves! I'm glad you caught that!
i used to always describe it as feeling like everyone is acting or LARPing but i’m never able to get into character. like everyone else seems more able to just *be* who they are but it’s like i’m always a little too aware that the person inside my head and the person i am out in the world are not the same person, and then i spiral off about how every individual has a different version of me from their own perspective and i get extremely overwhelmed by that thought very quickly. idk, i’ve always struggled with the whole theory of mind thing, it’s always freaked me out for some reason
i had my diagnosis and result are out in saturday, i think i should watch this
We love you and your videos keep up the great work!
This was an interesting video. My answers for the quiz were 1:A 2:C 3:B, and I'm not sure what to make of it. I mean, I space out a lot, I tend to have large gaps in my most recent memories, and sometimes I feel like something is controlling my body, as if it was on some sort of internal autopilot.
And I just realized something. I often talk to myself in my head like, "thanks, brain. Real helpful for that stupid decision," like I'm talking to another person. Is that normal? It doesn't feel normal. But then, neither is shutting down and letting the patterns my brain has memorized guide me through the day, is it? I notice it a lot at work. I just get lost in my imagination, bored out of my mind, while my body just goes through the motions. The heck is wrong with me?
I don’t know if I have it but here’s my experience with feeling “out of body” (I’m not saying I do have the disorder)
Sometimes I zone out and I feel extremely calm, and my mind goes blank. Sometimes I can just hear my own breathing and heartbeat, rarely my ears would starting ringing. I know I can move but I don’t, it’s like when you’re watching TikTok or RUclips and you HAVE to get up and do something but your body just isn’t letting you go so it.
This can also lead to stress if you just focus too much over things in your life. Just when everything started as the greatest day can become a roling coaster at the same time. We easily forget what we planned to do that sometimes spontanious actions can help you from that stressful moment. we are born to live our best lifes and not to make it hard on our selves. Let things go and start living.
Sometimes I feel like reality collapses for a brief second. While in that second i can see what would be able to see what is "outside" Of my life's screen.
Do you ever feel like you’re doing things much differently from how other people do it even though you’re just new to accomplishing the same task? Yeah.
I love everyone whose going through this❤️
Unpopular opinion:Who else thinks her voice is made for asmr?😂😂
During online school I got super stressed and then ended up feeling detached from school, friends, and my family. I remember almost nothing from that time and had to get my transcript just to remember what classes I took not even a year later
Thanks for your content my friend. Ive mentioned you to my therapist and she kinda chuckled. But im gonna share this one to her to show that your my counselor when it takes too long to see her again. Last i think she told me was that i deal with "sensory stimulation" . No biggy , but could you do a clip on that? I'd love to hear another persons opinion on that. It new to me and imma bing it up again on Tuesday. TY again.
All these years, I thought I was a psycho. I stare at myself in the mirror and jump back in fear. Those eyes scare me. But why. It’s like it’s not me. People would think that I am faking it for attention. But is it my choice?
I feel like there’s 2 people inside of me. Like I ain’t 1 person. They act so different.
When I am in an argument or in a group of people or sad/angry I feel so different and unusual. It’s like everything is grey and I want to scream “SHUT UP!”.
But when I am at school, I am so different and so kind to others and i may seem like a person with a perfect life… but I wish my life was perfect.
We DID this is a great video and the voice over is very empathetic and calm good job on this video .
As someone with derealisation, I wish this video came years ago.
Same I didnt know I used to have all of these signs when I was going through pass trauma and never addressed it
i have felt this before going to my therapist now
For my experience:
I often feel like I'm taking the back seat when there's someone else driving/holding the controller. Most times I can't look in the and recognize the person I see. Sometimes my memories are vague or non-existent but it's not that common.
Being called fake is a major trigger world no matter who is in control. Even if I'm sure it's me, I hate the word.
But I, nowadays, can mostly recognize it's not me.
I hear thoughts and voices that aren't mine either.
It's definitely not DID or I'd have no memory at off what happens when I take a backseat.
I think I may have OSDD but sometimes I doubt myself and wonder if I'm completely delusional.
Have spent no more than a few hours of the last few years not dissociated. It is hell
Sometimes I wish I knew…it can feel like I know nothing about myself it can even feel like I’ve been living under two names…
Spending 2 weeks on Kauai was a derealization experience. Driving the roads and looking out the window was like being on a movie set. It looked like hundreds of people came out at night and raked and trimmed the roadway landscapes . Everything looked too perfect to be real. It also started to feel very small there, way out in the middle of nowhere. Plus flying several hours out over the Pacific was a little unnerving in a two engine aircraft.
It's the gnomes. They do a great job out there.
Happened with me a lot of times😣
I'm only 5 minutes late !🥳😄
Your voice is so sweet !💐❤️🧡💚😍🥰
I think I answered a to every answer😑 I don't feel like my surroundings are real, sometimes I feel like I'm not really doing things in this fake world. I don't feel like myself
the thumbnail literally illustrates how i've been feeling the past few years
i often have moments where my surroundings look fake, i sometimes look in the mirror and don't see myself, and i spent about 3 hours talking to the other voice in my head through the notes app. he named himself i think. sometimes i can't even tell how he feels, when i'm talking to him, though a lot of the time i can. he thinks he's a fictional character. i can't sleep. i don't know what to do.
my dissociative disorder got so bad I watched myself zone out in 3rd person and lost my ability to stop it because it happened so easily and so fast.
