The disorder reminds me of how I used to cope with my anxiety in middle school. Although I didn't realize it, I was a maladaptive daydreamer. The dreams were my escape and I found myself eager to go back to them as soon as I had even the tiniest bit of free time.

Man these disorders are so hard to explain to someone who hasnt experienced them. The problem is, when trying to describe depersonalization people will immediately assume they have experienced it because they have felt those things on an emotional level. Everyone has felt disconnected or zoned out or whatever. But depersonalization is an experience akin to taking psychedelic drugs, its a physical experience that completely distracts you from functioning properly. And its not a choice or something can be controlled especially after the episode has started. Its like a roller coaster you just have to ride it out and wait at least a few hours for your experience of reality to come back.

Trauma is a powerful driver of dissociation, and I’ve even had dissociative amnesia, remembering before and after a traumatic event, but not the event itself. I first knew about this happening, as my mother was witness to it, both the event, and my complete lack of recall of it. This has always made me wonder what else I don’t remember. I’ve been called “ditzy” & “space cadet”, and when I moved into my college dorm after 18 years of almost continuous trauma, gossip went around that I was “on drugs”. This was in the 70s, in the South, so the rumor did not help my social life. And my brothers say that, “And She Was”, by the Talking Heads, is my song. I would think dissociation would be a part of most peoples trauma response. I’ve actually seen it in people after natural disasters, or violent events. I know the look. I’ve seen it in the mirror all my life. I think trauma conditions are an unseen epidemic in this country. I know that all that was left after the Plague in 1347 were orphans and madmen. And mad women, as well. It explains a lot about European history following the 14th century. I wish we could address these issues, and take care of people. We are all here to help one another.* *And Ayn Rand can just bite me.

You’re not alone. I have lived with Depersonalization for as long as I can remember. (I’m 42 now.) When I finally realized that I wasn’t going to grow out of it (as many had suggested), I fell into a deep depression for MANY years. I had seen countless psychiatrists & psychologists and almost no one was familiar with the disorder. I felt helpless. I laid in bed for weeks… maybe months. (Time is a fuzzy thing) Getting myself out of the hole was hard, but I decided I wanted to live and not spend every day of my life focused on this thing that won’t go away, and that I can’t change. My life has turned around in the most dramatic way possible. I still don’t feel like I was where I was last week, or yesterday, or 5min. ago, but I try not to focus on that, and instead I focus on what I’m doing next, and I take time to be mindful and grateful for the things that are right in front of me.

Growing up under a narcissistic (vulnurable, malignent) mother, I know exactly about what he is talking. I always thought, that this kind of experiences are common, but in the last years, I figured out (alone and with lots of therapy), that this is not the case. I know the world only from this point of view, it is normal to be in a state of depersonalized and dissociated - for me it has become a way of living (and I am very 'high functional', as my therapists always say). The narcissistic abuse doesn't stop of course, even 45 years on, and there is only one way for me to handle this: I went no contact 4 years ago. It helps a lot in the healing progress, but some habits will stay forever.

I'm never in touch with reality even when I'm hanging out with my friends. I always feel as if I'm watching myself just as this guy is saying. Recently we were out with a couple of my friends, we've been drinking then just all of a sudden I broke into tears and I just shared with them that I'm not okay with my life. I told a bit of my childhood trauma coz I was always weird sometimes and they couldn't understand me. It was some saught of barrier between me and anyone I interact with. I'm African and therapy is surreal around here. Although despite that I've decided I'll see a therapist, it's a bit expensive and I know I won't be able to afford it any time soon but I'll keep my hopes up because recently it has been tough dealing with this trauma and I need help.

I have the disorder (guy in the video is actually my therapist) and big time. I have to be in the right headspace and mentally prepared myself to go outside. Especially when you're struggling, going outside and seeing a bunch of people who appear to be functioning typically, and follow a bunch of social norms is jarring.

I first had this when I was about 10 years old or so, and it kept happening to me for more than 10 years until it just vanished, I never told anyone about it because I didn't know what it was and how to describe the way it made me feel with words, so finding out it has a name gave me some sort of relief I don't know why. Thank you so much for that.

i've suffered with this disorder for more than 2 years, and when it started it was like losing my mind. i dedicated all my mental capacity in search of finding what was happening to me, and that became a loop, a all i could think of state of mind. I still feel it, but i'm medicated now, i'm getting better day by day, and this video made me feel hugged to see this being refered so we dont have to struggle so much feeling so alone thinking we are going to dissipate without thoughts, without a body, without a real life. With a blank mind at the end of the road. It gets better. Hope you can find a routine to find balance, fill yourself with art, with nature and good people and animals if you can. Seek help. Dont lose hope. Stop obssessing about DP/DR, it doesnt help at all, its an echoe chamber for stress response and anxiety ALSO STOP USING DRUGS AND ALCHOOL, IT DOESNT HELP, AT ALL (imo)

Just remember - depersonalization/derealization is a **symptom**. In my case, it's a result of anxiety and panic attacks. That's when I experience it. It's impossible to experience it without anxiety in my experience. The way to beat dp/dr is to not address it as an individual problem, but rather to deal with the broader, underlying problem of anxiety. Just remember: you're not going crazy and 100% (not 99%, but a real, true 100%) recovery is possible and you can do it.

Finally can define what I went through. Went to a therapist a bit late and we got to a finding that there were two of me. Couldn't explain it any other way because there was a language barrier. Disassociation was it. I have found healing through finding the present and working out the past like this guy said. Also, getting out and socializing is a must. It's definitely labeled me as weird, eccentric, and sometimes crazy, but I'm getting better.

Ive found having a never ending list of to do's and prolonged self disappointment has created an environment where disassociation has sprouted. And after years, apathy has grown up through the cracks to the point where it required me to stop and take a full assessment and account of what's happening and what I'm experiencing. I didn't even realize the extent to which I was disassociating in order to get through my days just so I could get up tomorrow and survive another day. It's truly beautiful and frightening what our minds are capable of.

I've had constant derealization and episodic depersonalization since March 2007. I'm really glad to see VICE covering this condition, there needs to be much more awareness of it, especially among doctors and psychiatrists. I really struggled to cope with DP/DR the first 6 months or so but eventually, I became less and less focused on the symptoms and managed to adapt. The derealization is still there but I just don't focus and obsess on it like I used to. OCD is what brought on my derealization in the first place. I hope some day there is a cure.

Through therapy, I was able to be diagnosed with complex ptsd, anxiety and dissociative disorders. It was so normal for me that I never knew anything was wrong until I started oscillating between panic attacks and catatonic states. Very scary

“Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there - I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. People sometimes say that the way things happen in movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like watching television - you don't feel anything. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television. The channels switch, but it's all television.” -- Andy Warhol

If I could choose not to dissociate, I would do it in a heartbeat. It's scary because it literally feels like something 'snaps' and it's like someone disconnected the keyboard and mouse from the computer and fucked with the sound and monitor. It's exhausting, because dissociating means that right before, my panic/anxiety was bad enough that my brain decided to shut down

Never seen it as an disorder of any kind, this video though made me think about the subject. Never been able to convey how those episodes are like. But something like you’re watching a movie, like it’s not you behind the wheel, just an observer. Weird and sometimes frightening.

So it might not be this specific diagnose, but it sounds awfully similar. My parents split up when I was two, been enduring a lot of conflicts between them and a father with anger issues.

Had derealization for two weeks after a bad episode on marijuana, it felt so scary and horrible, the doctor referred me to a psychologist, which offer i took up. After 4 minutes on the call in which he explained it is simply a protective response from the body from perceived trauma and it will pass if i act calmly and collected throughout the day. After the two weeks passed with sweaty palms almost every single day and being scared of losing my mind, it slowly passed. To anyone reading this feeling disconnected from reality, it will pass, but only if you see it as an protective response and act naturally throughout your day, go to work, the gym, out with friends etc. Then it will pass slowly, also, listening to podcasts 24/7 helped a lot to distract myself.

Look at it, slowly drink it, taste it, and feel the water going down your throat and feel your throat being alleviated from the thirst. I know this sounds crazy, but actually enjoying these very simple pleasures mindfully has helped me beat IV drug addiction and relieve dissociative symptoms.

So good to see this video from the point of someone who experiences such things from time to time. The topic of dissociation and depersonalisation disorders should be shed more light on. Also great to see people who experience it in the comments section. The Understanding that I'm not alone in this is reassuring. Wishing the best to everyone on their path on recovery! Also, I'd advise you to start doing art. It's the best therapy there is. Doing street photography for example. It has helped me a lot to stay present and be hooked to reality during my walks outside on the early stages of my recovery several years ago. Also, the shots you are taking during the episodes are really interesting and weird, so oddly enough, you could potentially benefit from the illness.

Your other video about LMPD where the cops hurt those women triggered dissociation and flashbacks but not depersonalization and derealization. I had to do grounding exercises because I should not have watched that video but I am so glad you put it out there. I know that I was dissociating and playing memories back in my head on a loop. I am aware I'm traumatized. I know exactly what I have to do when it happens to bring myself back. PTSD dissociation is slightly different from the disorder you're talking about. However, in regards to dissociative/derealization and depersonalization--I do think tech is causing this to happen to people.

I've lived with BPD for as long as i can remember, depersonalization is a major part of my life. There was a time i was so disconnected, that i didnt look at my phone for months, never left the house, playing minecraft for 48+ hours per time no stop. I remember not sleeping for 8 days straight. It was euphoric to watch the sun rise and set, felt healing to me in some way. It was a very heavy moment in my life, where i saw my family, my work, and the little friends i have vanish from me within a few months. Im estranged from an abusive household, barely can hold a friendship, sometimes i cant even process what people are saying to me. Long story short, even though its a reaction to stress, it can still bring loneliness, depression, and many other overwhelming emotions out of you. Anxiety has been the worst as of lately, as i take medicine for ADHD as well, which is known to heighten anxiety. If you do suffer from stuff he speaks about, i HIGHLY suggest deleting social media, the things you get small hints of dopamine from. Find happiness elsewhere, and when you TRULY find happiness from within, it almost feels like everything is perfect. If you're under the age of 18 reading this, dont do drugs. Even marijuana can lead to developmental issues/psychosis and BPD. The more natural you become, the better mental state you will achieve. Humans are animals, and our reaction responses to new age society, are the same feelings we had when our "Tribe" abandoned us during the primal times. Remember, we may be complex minded in society, but our emotions are still primal. Find the little things about your day to make you feel better. We all have a story behind our eyes, every one deserves a chance in the spotlight. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other.
