      When you give it a name, like "depersonalization or derealization", you almost bring it to life, like Santa Claus. It's all just anxiety. Any psychologist will tell you that, and it's true. It'll fade away once your anxiety is under control, and it'll be like you totally forgot what it felt like. It's all an illusion caused by anxiety. Your brain is not messed up, and you're not crazy. Just anxious... as us humans tend to be. :)

    The existential fears you list off at the beginning; "Almost in a state of panic at the universe". I've been there for 3 months now. It's been terrifying. But I'm getting used to the feelings now. I'm amazed at how common this is but no one ever talks about it. Surely the existential fears are only going to get more prominent in society the more educated and scientifically advanced humanity becomes.

But since then, I've improved with the existential fears so much that I returned to university to study physics. 3 years ago just thinking about physics related topics would send me in to a panic attack. I'm actually grateful for the existential fears because they make me feel fully alive. It's terrifying when it hits but I feel that it gives me a deep appreciation for life. I still struggle with some things, but overall I'm much better. Are you experiencing similar things?

How do I figure out the things that humans can't comprehend? Why do people believe in religions? What happens after you die? Does everyone know something that I don't know? Do I know something that no one else knows? Why should I live such a boring life ill just die in the end? Why do I have to do what other people tell me to do? Etc etc.

      Kai Is a Wombat Hey, i know i am late replying but i was vey similar to you. I had a big anxiety attack a few months ago and got depressed and depersonalised badly. I had many of the thoughts you said. I felt trapped and that i would never get better or back to normal. However a few months down the line i am almost normal again. I feel great and the reason is that i 'float' this means whenever u get one of these bad thoughts which usually lead onto more thoughts in my case, you allow them to happen!🙂When my uncle told me this i felt as if its the oposite of what i should do but it isn't. If you keep running away from the thoights, you start to fear them more. whereas if you relax your body and let them happen and just 'float' you become used to the thoughts and then stop fearing them. Honestly i fully understand and you just need to know that i was like that and now whenever i have any thoughts which isn't that common. I just forget about them while thinking😂 With the existence side of it. Although it's hard to, accept that you are here, and others are going though this! The reason you become depersonalised is because the brain has that much stress that it cuts out the outside world to relive itself! although this is terrifying to expirience, it is simply the brain's defence system against stress!

      I'd say more or less I'm over it. Every now and then I'll still have weird thoughts about reality but it's definitely not a constant paranoia and obsession that I once had.

I've been to a psychiatrist and got Generalized Anxiety Disorder. then all that high anxiety got me stuck in this Derealization mode. I've told my psychiatrist how I felt and she came to the conclusion that I have Derealization. I told her that options and places get small or big, closer or farther. my time perception got distorted minute turned into literal hours and days seem super long. I explained to her how I feel as if my memories got screwed up like if i was downstairs then went upstairs it feels as if I was never downstairs or it would feel like between the minute of me going upstairs from downstairs feel like 10 minutes. I feel like I can't read as well as I used to do or spell correctly, sometimes I just can't remember how to spell this word that I used to know how to spell.

    had this for 5-6 months after smoking some weed, I always thought there was just something wrong with me (because a psychiatrist just told me I was depressed, and didn't know what she was talking about) and never knew there was youtube related to it.
    in those 5-6 months, I didn't feel real and felt like I was living in a confusing massive paranoia world where I feared just random things that didn't make sense. it was so intense, indescribable.. I finally got over it myself (but still feel like that some days).
    one weird thing.. is that I would always just imagine myself as being not a person anymore, but rather just a clump of cells walking around communicating with other clumps of cells, in an infinite universe that didn't make sense.

    Everytime i look at things i have to remind myself what it is.... my thoughts become so instrusive i can't think clearly as much as i used to anymore.i feel like i'll end up hurting someone or something i love. And i don't value the things i love anymore, like everything has no definition. Not even love, or hate, or anything around me. But i know it does. Because it has always been there right? Like i know where i am, but i feel as if i wasn't fully there. Sometimes i wouldn't be able to concentrate on one thing and read( i can read, just can't concentrate on it because of my thoughts probably ) . I was diagnosed with A.D.D when i was young. And i feel as if it was coming back. More worse than it was. When i'm somewhere doing something in that moment, then go somewhere else and do something, I will have an image of myself as if i was there doing whatever i did before ( this has never really happened before i started experiencing dpdr.)I mean it's kind of scary. I still have nostalgia.. which means good thoughts good feelings, going through memories. But it just feels as if i was living my past , not even making new memories at all. I'm aware this could be just cuz i'm depressed or going through this thing called dpdr. i can say that at night i would lucid dream alot. Sometimes when i'm in an area or a place , i would imagine something happening that wouldn't actually be happening. Sometimes i can't get my mind off those things. It just keeps happening. I also feel as if i'm going insane, and will have no future at all, and will end up being some psychopath. Probably because i think my family thinks i'm one ( Only because they have seen me at my worse ) Anyways, i still have to remind myself that i'm real, and that i have memories , a past. I just have that weird , crazy , unexplainable feeling , as if i was never here in the first place. And i would feel like i hate myself because of all i've been through because i would question why it was happening. Example:Why am i even here? Why am i thinking that? Just weird thoughts that suddenly pop up. I would be so zoned out i wouldn't even understand it either.

      I thought I was a sociopath too. I haven't felt emotions for four months now... including love and guilt. I was hospitalized, however, and they said it has to be a pervasive pattern that interferes with your whole life. You can't just develope aspd out of nowhere. I was actually diagnosed with bpd.
      Also, sociopaths don't experience nostalgia! and they wouldn't ponder about being a sociopath because they usually have some god complex and aren't introspective about their condition. Most of them like being the way that they are, because they don't know any other way.

    I'm a 16 year old girl who has this after some major anxiety and depression. I was already in a psych ward once ,I don't want to back again but I I feel like they can help me. I want help the is disorder is really ruining my life. In class it'll happen where my brains logical side shuts off on me, an then I just cant understand or realize anything. Then I feel and act very weird. I'm unco-ordinated and get headaches, head pressure head tingles or other wierd head sensations. My classmates or teachers don't understand and are a little uncomfortable around me. My mom and only parent doesn't understand that I'm mentally ill and unable to function. She ignores what I have to say, and stays ignorant. I love her so much but i wish she'd be understanding and get me help. Ugh just writing this brings on stress and worries. I just want my life back before all these mental ilnesses. I was just an average teen up until this point. I'm hoping and praying for me to get help and get rid of this disorder. Also wigs the best for my fellow dpdr/drdr people.

    I wanna know if this is DP/DR someone help me.
    First I want ya'll to know how I got to this point. about a year and a half ago I fainted and went to the doctor to check it out. They said I was completely fine and like the next two months I kept worrying that I had some serious condition. I kept worrying that I would get a heart attack and that I had some heart condition (I even felt the heart palpitations). Then month after that I went to the doctor again and they checked my brain and and blood and said I was fine. I worry a lot about my health and think I have health anxiety or I'm a hypochondriac (just a little though). Then about a month and a half ago I had a mental breakdown. I started fearing if this world wasn't real and i'm living in a simulation, that all of this is fake, and then I was hit with a wave of depression. It was horrible. I felt so hopeless. I was always generally a chill and happy person and ever since I started worrying about how I fainted I started getting anxiety and depression and now I fear crazy things like aliens and that this reality is fake. And I worry if i'll ever get back to normal. Idk which is worse, the anxiety the depression or the derealization. I also had a semi existential crisis. And wonder about God and if this reality is just a program. And I started thinking about "what's the point of life" I feared I was losing my mind. I'm pretty sure I have anxiety and depression but i'm not sure about the DP/DR. Can anyone tell me if I have it?
    This is my theory: I believe that this all happened because I fainted that day. I started worrying to much and it caused anxiety and usually depression is tied with anxiety. At one point I even feared I had schizophrenia (It was so horrible). And I also hear that DP/DR is common with anxiety. Is what I am experiencing DP/DR? Is it? And if it is, is there a cure? Will I get over it? Will I ever be fine and back to my old self again? I've heard of DP/DR coming back after people "healed" and that's what i'm worried about which raises my anxiety. I fear that this reality is fake and that I'll lose everything. I just wanna be sure that this is what I have so that I know how to beat it. Has anyone ever permanently got rid of it?
    I need help. I have bad days and less bad days. But I've had this for about a month now and it's bothering me. Please help.

      OMFG you just answered one of my biggest questions I have been wondering about for 2-3 years exactly the same happened to me I fainted felt really weird and that feeling was not going away. But I am starting to heal I feel it. But for almost a year ago me and my friend smoked weed sometimes and after a while I couldn't handle it I got extreme derilization. And I have had those extreme derilization moments 2 times after I was done with weed but they only lasted for a minute. But yeah don't smoke weed and try to focus on good stuff in your life I hated when I got that answer but it's true. Hang out with friends, family play football or whatever that make you forget that you have derilization/depersonalization good luck❤️

    Another great video Harris. Just commenting on what you believe to be the root cause.. do you think its necessarily always the parents fault? Couldnt it be other sorts of trauma? Self induced trauma.. or just throwing another random one out there, sexual abuse by a stranger, for example? Is it always the parents? This is not an emotional question by the way.

    PLEASE REPLY!!!!!I am constantly tired, stressed about my health, questioning everything about my body... I get very sharp pains (headache like) in my head. I get so caught up in phobias of my physical health. I was scared about a brain tumour, cancer, heart problems, ect. I feel crazy because i know how it must sound but it scares the living heck out of me and i truly do get scared and then obsess over that, on top of DP/DR. I also get very dizzy and feel very uneasy, is this normal with DPD? Almost like i feel faint. and i get super foggy. I have derealization way worse then dp. Furthermore, I'll be sitting and feel so much anxiety over nothing, I won't even know what towards but i'll just feel a huge wave of general fear. Did you/anybody else have any of this & is it normal for this disorder? I don't want to keep living my life afraid of each day and how i am going to feel and what i am going to stress over, i feel like crap everyday and i am so jealous of everybody around me. I am 16 and can't keep doing this forever

      You have GAD. I felt exactly like this. Every symptom you mentioned, I felt too. It was very intense and scary. The only thing that helped me was finally realising that what I was feeling was nothing more than anxiety. The fear was causing more fear and manifesting into physical symptoms. Once you realise that you are healthy, you will start feeling better.

    Hi Harris! Do you have any personal views on death and the afterlife?
    I would be happy to forget my worries but I find the one thing that drags me back to the worrying loop is the thought that consciousness is a universal thing and I will come back in some form somehow even if only trillions of years after I die, which from my perspective would be instant.
    After suffering with anxiety and panic in this life, I've grown a fear of reality and consciousness, and fear just existing out of my control throughout time :/
    I have this feeling that it makes no sense that "base reality" is not stable, happy, and free of pain and suffering.
    Thanks!

    The better thing to do than testing yourself if you're worried about a specific condition, is being rational first. I got my DP/DR the morning after smoking a lot of weed, so that's what triggered it for me. However, when I became obsessed of finding causes of DP/DR, one of the things that really stuck with me was Lyme disease, and I was thinking so hard if this could be it, when was the last time I was exposed to a tick, maybe I was bitten, but was never aware of it? So I got really anxious about this, until I just tried to be rational for a second; I smoked weed - got DP'd the morning after. How would a tick be related in all this?
    If you're looking for medical causes of DP/DR, you're always going to find some new condition to obsess over if you get tested for the first thing.
    Just my 2 cents.
