I remember the first time I got this feeling along side my panic attack. It was the scariest and probably still the scariest symptom I’ve ever felt and and still experienced when my anxiety is at its highest. I thought I had gone crazy and was in a complete dream state feeling. I was in a grocery store, so it made everything and everyone feel more unreal. I had to go to the ER. It the most crazy unexplainable feeling to describe. I remember being this way for weeks and weeks and got depressed over it. I became fearful of going out, and constantly felt this way. Over the years and with therapy I learned it was just a symptom of my panic/anxiety attack. It happens when my stress, anxiety and panic is super high. It’s still scary, but at least I understand it now. I still get it here and there, but I can calm myself down enough to acknowledge it. Anyone out there experiencing this, I promise it will pass and you will be okay. My heart goes out to everyone out there dealing with this , I know exactly the feeling. It’s hard to explain and have some understand it, know that I do.

@@JamesG_3 hello! I’m sorry you’re going through that, I know the feeling, it’s terrible. It usually happens to me when my anxiety or stress level are super high and I’m tense. It decreases as soon as I try and relax. Another thing was that I had become so obsessed with having that ‘weird feeling’ (as i called it back then) that everyday became a struggle and I dealt with it constantly. Not sure if you’ve been experiencing a lot of stressors or anxiety, might be that??

I just dont feel like myself. Its almost like I “dont know who I am” anymore. I feel like Im just keeping my body alive but dont feel any connection to it. I get like an hour of relief every couple days. Its hard to describe to people around me. I get bored of just sitting in bed at home but I dont feel like myself so its hard to get out of the house. I dont feel like eating. I constantly watch old videos of myself wondering how I was that way before almost like I dont recognize myself ? I have a hard time sleeping & when I wake up, I just feel exhausted. I always just want to sleep. I want to do anything to give me relief.

It's easier said then done, but the way I recovered was going thru a process of retraining my mind. I became more greatful about my life, more thankful for the people in it (including Dennis!) Lol and the things I had... I stuck to a strick structured daily routine, which consisted of excersicing, eating right, and I enrolled in school (which gave me an even bigger purpose to want to recover). After about a year, the depersonalization and anxiety kinda drifted away, it was almost like I came to a point that I had forgotten that I ever suffered from that. I look back now, and see that Im a lot stronger then I was! If your going thru it, I hope this helps.... It's very scary, and very easy to lose hope.. But dont!

Hey Guy, Really appreciate your video. Couple things: 1) it's nice to see qualified person discuss DP online. Most youvideos are from people that aren't very knowledgable, they claim an easy cure, or they're posting a video saying how scared they are! Your audio is excellent here; its well informed, and takes an optimistic approach to a scary sensation/feeling/condition. 2) As someone who intimately knows DP/DR, just a friendly message to anyone in that "acute" state, that it does get better. I had it wickedly bad, for some time, and I now hardly have DR anymore. I still struggle with very mild DP, and some overstimulation to light and my surroundings, but my mental health is infinitely better than when I was a in my teens and early twenties. I had a bad case at a young age (15 maybe 16), and i'm 100x better than I used to be. Making DP not scary in your head, as challenging as it might be, is immensely important. It sucks that the natural response to DPDR (getting freaked out because its scary) is what makes it worse. The cycle is real, and tough to beat. The good thing is, it is absolutely beatable with some hard work, lifestyle adjustment and proper thinking. 3) Final note to anyone struggling, and take this in, because it's important: The Brain Is Not Static. It is constantly changing. It's constantly getting better or worse. It's always evolving and shifting. One of my biggest fears when I had DPDR was that I was "stuck." That i had some condition that was irreversible and my quality of life would forever be f**ked. I was wrong. The seasons change, your brain changes, your mind can heal. Rethink being told you have a mental "disorder," and think of your brain as something changeable and adaptable, because it most certainly is. Keep up with the good work Guy -Patrick

To me what you said in this video from 5:10 - 7:50 is counter intuitive and counter productive to most people with anxiety. You always want to see things from your own point of view (1st position) not from anyone else's... In terms of perspective. When I was a teenager I was constantly concerned with what other people (bystanders) thought of me. Which is what cultivated the Anxiety. I always felt I had to act like other people that had more friends because i thought no one would be interested in me for who I am. So it seems that must have been what brought on the Depersonalization. You simply must not worry what anyone else might be thinking, some people are better at it then others. By better i guess I just mean less self-aware.

And i didn't microdose, i took about 3g. But this is just the radical way, the goal is to start looking in your inner selfe again. Start meditating, start to open your chakras. I know for some people this may sound kind of stupid, but all this guided me out or my suffering. You also have to start to change the way you look and think about things. Always see the situation as it really is, and always see the positive aspects. I can't tell you more right now because i am at work, but if you like we can talk a little on discord or something.

Also know that this condition, altho it is horrible, will make you a better person and you will be happier and more appritiative once its gone.

I've had health anxiety for 4 months now. I have people telling me it's hppd and others saying it's migraine with aura because of the weird visual symptoms I get. Sometimes I get ghosted vison, sometimes after images, sometimes shadows and lines in my vison. Light sensativity. All of it is weird. So I don't know what the heck it is !

this actually pulled me out of it episode more of a derealization but still depersonalization episode but I felt called out LOL especially on the point when your saying slow down I walk too fast I talk too fast I try to get things done too fast and when he said you probably eating too fast not tasting your food I just made a sandwich and I was almost done with it lol I really thank you so much they're really starting to help me more and more I've been working on my health anxiety and since I've been getting in control of my anxiety the Steve realization depersonalization episode started coming out of nowhere and it does make sense that it's my body finally saying it's tired cuz I was having panic attacks almost every second but now I know I just need to take it easier take things slower and I was living in the past I've been having alot of fear is that I'm going crazy cuz I took way too many drugs in my past and that I was afraid in my mental health. Really f***** up because I was prescribed benzos and I was cold turkeyed after being on them daily for 4 months and I've been in fear that my mental health is destroyed because of that I've been stuck in the past so much and not just living for today I've been stuck in the past and trying to think of the future too much and I just need to live for today thank you so much

lol this is 100% me as well. How are you doing now? I was feeling so guilty for taking drugs and I started to panic that I fucked up my life and I am damaged forever. Obsessing about this 24/7 obviously made me panic every day I am going crazy and lead to intrusive thought loops and dp. Past days I caught myself doing all the tasks so fast I did not even think what I was doing.

I have a question Dennis. When you talk about avoiding situations and how you need to face the situations that give you anxiety and you mentioned going into a mall, my question is, does that also apply to my fear of cancer? I avoid people and places that have anything to do with cancer because it brings up too much fear and sensations for me. Do I actually force myself into those situations?

Coralee Gall Avoidance solidifies the fear so the answer is yes you need to shift your outlook on cancer and systematically begin experiencing those types of environments.

my experience was when I smoked weed for the first time, i was happy at first and then soon after I worried, I was shaking and found myself panicking and had to leave and feel free from that area and I started looking through my eyes as a bubble and basically looking at my hands in a 3rd person type feeling and i started blacking out. as time went on I just get worried when im alone and i have deep thoughts of death and it keeps recurring when i'm alone and when i'm out in public i have a bubble feeling that goes away when im back home.

I have struggled with this condition for 31 years after being molested at the age of 11. Ive spoken to psychologist, psychoanalysis, my own doctor and was even committed to a psychiatric center. I spoken to them and asked for help but their reaction was that I was seeking attention. After that I stopped speaking about the condition because it seemed no one cared or knew anything about it. I don't feel like i was in my own skin, nothing seems real, memory lapses, exhaustion, the feeling even now, writing this of being trapped behind a wall blocked from all sensation, and the most damaging part for me are the mind flashes. I would be doing normal things and this massive flash happened in my mind erasing my memories of where I was, what I was doing there, how i got there, basically every part of myself that existed in that moment was reduced to a sensation of extreme dizziness, confusion, exhaustion and this pulsing that seem to go threw my body in waves. it usually took about ten minutes to recover, sometimes longer but I learned quickly how to fake being normal. Truth be told, I lived with this for so long I had given up hope that I would ever find an answer to the only two questions I had for years, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME AND HOW DO I FIX IT? Two questions that can drive anyone insane. So, I gave up. I live with the symptoms and try my best to ignore them in my everyday life. I found a therapist who knew of the condition, told me about it, and also told me that the likelihood of fixing the problem at my stage with as many years is not likely to happen. The quicker you deal with this the better the results. I have watched many videos of Dp/Dr and have no doubt that the keys to dealing with this is me reintegrating the trauma but I wouldn't know where to begin past what I have already done. I don't hold any hate towards him, I forgave him for what he did, and still I wake up in this endless void. any pointers?

What sort of Doctors or psychologists would accuse you of seeking attention. That's disgusting. I'd have punched them in their face! A Doctor -- the people you trust can help you with illness -- to claim that a mentally ill person who is suffering is seeking attention is enough to drive someone to suicide.

I've experienced depersonalization first hand and nothing in this podcast rang true. The author may say that depersonalization is "different for everyone", I disagree. The symptom is very clearly articulated in medical literature. I would caution anyone listening to this podcast relying on its accuracy. Seek a qualified medical opinion instead.
