My spouse experienced depersonalization and derealization for an entire year straight, sometime in his teens, before we met.
Acceptance of the potential permenance was what finally broke him out of it.
Yep …… especially over the lockdowns . I was working in A&E , I bounced between the two regularly
This why I hate when people say they “ disassociate” and they mean they zone out.
I have dissociated for weeks before. It feels better than being upset at first but it gets scary when it lasts a long time. And several days seems like a long time to me. I used to dissociate a lot. I don't as much anymore after years of therapy.
It's good to hear someone talking about this. I've been suffering from both of these chronically since I was very young, I'm just now starting to get a handle on it through mindfulness and therapy. It's incredibly hard to explain to people that don't have it, when I do manage to come out of it for a second it is mind-blowing to think that I've been like this all that time. I think it's more common than people think because a lot of people who suffer from this can just seem like everyone else, they will probably have issues with their life but it's not easy to see from the outside that they're dealing with it.
Yes
Im still DPDR its been almost my whole life... I'm 24 and I started at around 8 or 9..
I only get glimpses of "waking up"..
I've been experiencing depersonalization for just about every day since the sudden passing of my father last year. I often freeze, and I forget who I am or how to function. Horrible feeling.
I've had some episodes where i forget everything. I don't remember my name, my environment, or others.
I dont know "Feel" is so weird. Its like no one can explain anything in a way i can understand. Like my dad expected me to feel free when I learned how to drive, or doctors expected me to be in constant paim wkth my ingrown toenail but i wasnt.
Fucking nothing feels real.
I've always been very disassociative. Part of that involves having been a maladaptive daydreamer for as long as I can remember, too. Back in my pre-teens and early teens, it got to a point I was experiencing blackouts. Currently, most of my teen years are just flat out missing in my memories.
I've recently discovered I'm actually plural, and it seems this has been the case since the body was 11, which makes sense based of when specific symptoms started happening and my "imaginary friends" showing up around then. These days we thankfully have significantly less issues with blackouts and amnesia, and I imagine it's likely because I started treating them like real people and we're trying to form healthier relationships and boundaries.
We're not officially diagnosed with anything (a reminder that getting a diagnosis is extremely difficult and expensive, and even more so for disassociative disorders), but we are 100% sure we're all very real and very separate people, and we're pretty solidly sure we have or at least had some kind of disassociative disorder.
I would get that and it was so scary. It felt like everything was passive aggressive to me even my own voice and I was sort of watching myself like if it was a tv and I wasn’t really having full control.
It happened a lot in my childhood. A lot of the times then it felt different. Like it happened when I was having a lot of fun.
Let me just say a memory. When I was younger 8-11 I would go to this place called fun world. And I remember crashing through the ball pit and I remember that feeling. It was like my hearing and vision was messed up but I was having a lot of fun.
Now when it happens it feels like everything is aggressive.
My entire life 🙃
Idk what happens to me but I tend to just get mostly still (I can barely move), I can’t talk, and the world around me gets really muffled or it’s perfect clear it just sounds all jumbled, and sometimes it starts with little movement, or it starts with the muffled/jumbled sound. If someone could explain what’s happening to me, that would be wonderful. Quick note: I almost forgot to add that this can happen at random or upon certain very specific triggers, like triggering a phobia or past traumas.
I’ve had derealisation for 8 years straight now, 24/7. I remember when I got it in 2016 after a traumatic event it felt really familiar. Then I realised that I had it as a kid too. I specifically remember saying to my mum “why does it feel like I’m dreaming right now”
What a cruel existence. I guess it could be worse, I could stub my toe every day
Yea me too man idk what to do about it. Playing guitar helps me feel real sometimes
Years of dissociating yep 👋🏻
Years. Most of my life tbh. It doesn't really bother me. It's just like I'm watching a veryyy long movie.
Dissociation protects me emotionally from the horror that is “civilization” (I suspect I would have done much better in a hunting/gathering/subsistence farming society; of course, I probably wouldn’t have survived birth in one of those, so… 🤷♀️). I don’t find it strange or upsetting. The notable bit is when, occasionally, things feel real. I do notice this happening more as my life becomes less traumatizing. The world will never be a safe place for me, though, so I have no problem with being able to protect myself as much as needed. 🤔
Perfect targets for hypnosis. 😊
