Havent seen this channel in months just wanna say thanks to you I was able to properly recover from dp/dr. You saved me man. I wouldn't mind doing a discussion with you about my recovery! Albeit im a stage freight freak.
So good to hear you've fully recovered! 😊 And yes absolutely, would be delighted to have you on the channel, drop me a line and we can arrange! 😊
How did u do it and how long did it take
@@Dpmanual I wanna recover I could use your help so bad I'm so confused . I can't even work . I have goals I want a family . If you can help me recover I'm willing to work hard and do what I need to do . I have feelings of hate and these weird emotions is this normal ? Cuz these aren't my feelings .. and I feel dpdr changes so much on me I'm confused on how many sensations it has. Can you send me link to the manual? I would love to speak one on one .
@@Dpmanual I read on the internet that bi polar and schizophrenia have dpdr too is that true or is it an anxiety based condition?
@@mattrinehart9348 yo man calm down its all going to be fine im going through dp/dr right now and i did have intrusive thoughts like oh no im having the same symptoms as schizophrenia and bipolar and yes it is such a scary thought but all dp is is just anxiety. You dont have to worry about having this forever or having like something else its dp and nothing else. The key to overcoming dp is to accept the feelings and it does seem hard like oh my god i cant do this for any longer if you want to recover the best tips i can give you is stop researching it if you get a symptom then dont search it up just think okay im feeling not normal but this wont last forever and it will go soon your life will get back on track, dont think of dp as an enemy its not gonna harm you it cant harm but do not worry man it cant last forever and you will snap out of it :)
This is amazing. I’m so happy to hear someone on the channel talk about intrusive dark thoughts. I’ve been through several inner struggles and DP led me to have the intrusive thought “what if this gets so bad I want to end it all” and it TERRIFIED me. I didn’t even wanna be by myself for fear I might act on it. When I realized that the fear was literally there to protect me, to prevent me from ever actually doing something like that- I felt so relieved. Fear is your friend, guys! Fear is there to protect you, always. If you have an intrusive thought like, “what if I harm myself or other people?” And you react with fear of that thought, it is proof that the thought is unwanted and definitely not something you want. Accept that the fear is there, and that the thoughts require no attention because they are meaningless. They will pass ❤
Thanks so much for your comment Caitlyn and I'm very happy to hear you liked the video 😊 And yes, intrusive thoughts like that are super common with DPDR (and all anxiety-based conditions). I know they can be frightening but they will fade away and stop as your recovery continues: www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-fears-and-anxious-thoughts/
found this channel about two years ago it helped me a lot with my depersonalization and anxiety issues looking back i’m thankful for having found this channel it helped me so much and now that i’ve overcame dp i came back to say thank you for helping people around the globe that suffer with depersonalization seriously thank you so much.
Thanks for your comment and I'm delighted to hear you've recovered! 😊
Taylor's openness and candour about her DP journey is reassuring.
The DP Manual is truly life changing..
I’m so glad you recovered it makes me feel like there really is hope to be the same person I was
Don't worry, DPDR is not permanent and you can and will get 100% back to normal 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/back-to-normal-after-depersonalization/
You're so kind and reassuring, Shaun
Happy to help 😊
My experience and symptoms are very similar to Taylor's. Thank you Taylor for sharing this. It helps me knowing I'm not alone. Mine started in 2019. Just recently, I have been feeling better because I made some changes to my life and I'm happier.
Thanks for your comment Julia, I'm delighted that you found the video helpful and that you're feeling better 😊
I'm from Nashville also! Going through this now but this is encouraging. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! 😊
the dp manual helped my recovery so much! I still have my days but your videos motivated me to not be afraid and to get my life back i thank you so much! It does get better to anyone going through it, i promise!
Delighted to hear you're doing so well! 😊
Love this girls attitude. Recovering myself and you guys are right, cannot rush this.
😊😊
Wow she is amazing to be going through all if this and still studying
She's pretty impressive! 👏
Good! Is the worst. Thats me right now. Thanks god the semester is over. Hopefully I feel better before next semester starts.
Your a good person you have helped me the first time I had a dp attack I felt like I was not real I had to ensure myself that what I did was actually real it was sad and scary.
Happy to help 😊
Hey just to let you know,thanks man I am almost recovered ,sometimes it comes back but it's totally fine now....just when you said it was a anxiety based condition and nothing was wrong with me ,it solved 50% of my problem and by constantly doing exercise,pranyam, talking long walks cured me too a lot of extent,thanks man ,keep on sharing the positivity...
Thanks for your comment and I'm delighted to hear you're doing so well! 😊😊
hey. can u describe your symptoms for me and how long did you have it ?
(i am in pain man) nothing seems to be working
@@QueenEsstha whatever he wrote in his manual ,most of them like the question of existential thoughts and anxiety and all kind of stuff ,I had it for 50 days most probably don't worry just believe the fact its just the anxiety that's causing it all and you will be ok,go on a long walk and daily physical activity and do meditation, search yoga by swami ramdev and follow those for anxiety you will be cured have faith , take someone if you are afraid to go on a long walk alone, and think positive that you will recover and it shall be...just keep the faith man listen to soft music...it's a normal thing..I too thought that I will never be cured but deep inside I wanna be good to and today I am free ,so shall you be...don't look at social media for a few day's just engage in books and physical activity you will be alright, God will bless you...
@@Dpmanual and one more thing don't try to solve the questions that arises out of anxiety to solve one by one ,just focus on your anxiety by saying that it's just because of anxiety and you will be cured ,if it's too severe consult a doctor and watch your blood pressure too it might spike too, it's another reason you fell bad at all time
Watching this while hurdled up in my bed because I can't even recognize my family faces today, every day is different but it does get better
Hey, thanks for your comment 😊 I know DPDR can be scary but just remember that it’s a natural reaction to stress and anxiety, and people experience it all the time. The National Institute on Mental Illness estimates that up to 75% of people experience at least one depersonalization / derealization episode in their lives. It's part of your brain's natural defence mechanism and usually it only lasts a few seconds or minutes at a time. It's only when it's focused on as a separate problem (feeling like you're going crazy / in a dream etc) that it can turn into a feedback loop with the anxiety that caused it in the first place. But no matter what caused it or how long you've had it, you can always switch it off completely by stopping that anxious feedback loop. Make sure to carefully read through all the articles and info on my website at www.dpmanual.com
And if you would like to speak to a medical professional please don't hesitate to do so. I would recommend finding an anxiety specialist if possible as they will likely be more familiar with DPDR 👍
I feel like everyday is different too. I feel like DPDR switches up symptoms is that possible? And can I have dpdr without existential thoughts ? I don't have many of them . I just mainly breakdown from it and have guilt and shame and think to myself how the hell can I recover and forget about all this .
ADHD medication gets me out of the bed, then I have to force myself to do the things. Going out of my house feels like a huge steps even is the most normal thing, but gosh just going outside or going to school and listening to people voices is so weird when I used to be a super social person and now it’s the opposite, this is so frustrating but listening to this gives me light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks for your comment and I'm glad to hear the video was helpful 😊 And there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel -- You can and will get 100% back to normal: www.dpmanual.com/articles/back-to-normal-after-depersonalization/
i have it so severe that its affected my ability to do good in school, talk to family and friends and affected relationships with them. this video has been the only relief in weeks that it will be okay. i really hope to recover sooner or later
Hey, thanks for your comment. Firstly, please make sure that you’re speaking to your parents about what’s happening. It’s very important that they know what’s going on. Secondly, I know DPDR can be frightening but remember that it's just your body and brain's natural response to stress and anxiety. It's not permanent and it can't hurt you. You can and will recover.

@@Dpmanual thank you, and my parents are aware of it but ive just been managing it on my own. i will be sure to keep reading your website for more information on derealization
@@melotics Glad to hear it, keep up the good work! 😊
@@meloticshow u doing now
Man I can so relate to Taylors experiences. Im 6months in and developed DPDR quite later in my late 30s after a bad drug reaction. It sucks.. im DPDR 24/7.. wish I could get my life back... its hard.. Great to hear she recovered fully.. I hope one day I can feel the same.
Don't worry Mike, it doesn't matter what caused it or how long you've had it, you can always switch DPDR off completely by stopping the anxiety that's causing it 😊 Read this carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/how-long-does-depersonalization-last/
Have you recovered?
Glad to see she is doing much better! Right now I’m having a bit of a relapse of symptoms, I’m doing okay but I have a question. Reading the chapter on the “nonsense illusion”, you mention that it works of the same predication as depression, that it hijacks your thoughts and makes you think all you are doing is worthless. My question is are the thoughts of feeling stuck in a rut and worrying you’re losing purpose part of the nonsense illusion? Or is that actual depression? I’m just feeling confused about my emotions and I can’t tell if I’m actually depressed and should seek help, or if this is just a fear of being depressed and I just need to follow the manuals guidelines?
I am dealing with the same thing. Have you improved or discovered the answer?
I bought your manual and am starting my recovery now thankfully 🙏, however your manuals golden rules contradict that seeing a therapist or psychiatrist is needed, as i should completely live normally?
Also
I need to know however that if you know of or yourself experienced every time you look at or think of your friends or family your brain tells you their not real, because I’m scared I’m going to never forget these solipsism thoughts. Like im constantly having to battle my mind about everything in reality being unreal.
And finally would you suggest tiktok as a good distracting tool when thoughts do arise?
dealing with this sucks it just got harder im pushing through day by day i cant work cause scared to have panic attack just had my first ever bad panic attack like two weeks ago and it changed me never been the same since then,

Hi Shaun, how are you?
I buy your book years a go, and read it for the second time. I never fully recovered. Is there an option that I can talk to you by chat?
I can imagine that you are very busy. But I hope you can help me. I suffer with dpdr for almost 7 years. And it will not clicking in my brain like... I know how it works and I know what it is but I still get panick atacks from dpdr. Some months it is on the background and I don't even think about it, and with stress the first thing I feld is dpdr and it is after good months so much more overwhelming. I hope I can talk to you.
Keep up the good work.
Greetings V
Hello! Ever since I saw the top 10 symptoms vid I’ve been feeling better and I got the DP manual to make sure I have a nice audiobook to listen to on my road to recovery. Although I’ve found my biggest struggle currently isn’t really addressed which is a lack of sleep. I just spent a whole night not falling asleep at all. I didn’t just stay in bed the whole night, I would get out of bed and do things then try again but that didn’t work. I even took 3mg of Melatonin before bed and that used to help but didn’t do anything last night. Any recommendations for this? Not being able to sleep is scaring me.
I’m dealing with not being able to sleep also.
How can I reach out and talk to you?
would there be any chance that i could message you personably about my problems
he shaun i have a question i’ve been doing rlly good with this whole thing lately but i have this new though that cause me a lot of anxiety and it’s just the i have borderline personality disorder and i have this cus i have been talking with this girl and she’s perfect but for some reason my feelings always mixed abt her like one second i think she’s my everything and the next it’s like i don’t care as much i’m not sure if this is cus dp numbs emotions or whatever but i just wanna know what u think abt it if u respond to this thank you it means a lot
did anyone not even have a bad experience on weed but still got it, like me for me my friends told me that you get derealrealisation for a day afterwards after smoking and sure enough when i woke up the next morning i got it but didn’t panic and it went away. but a couple weeks later i had been feeling bad but not DPDR just feeling down and i was sitting there and the thought came into my head that maybe i’ve been feeling down after the weed and then suddenly all the DPDR came back and then i actually started panicking and stressing about it and i’m on my way to recovery now but still struggling

Its been 6 years almost Shaun when i hVe anxiety due to health my dp dr symptoms get intense then they give more anxiety and panic to me / well i krep telling doctors i feel lost and absent again / when they change my medicine or increase dose i feel better / than again anxiety comes i grt again dp dr intense / i do get happy better and normal it does fade away but still i feel cloudy cloudy un real unreal its been 6 years like hope u gettint it ? Is it the way that it completly goes away ? I mean when im anxious its intense and it makes me more intense as i doubt if i have DP DR or somthint else when i ignore i do gett happy n better but still it subsides but not filly intensity of it gets less / so when i listen people they say complete recovered is it like 100% they get ok ore some percentage is still there ?
Hello Shaun, i want to ask you if it is normal with dpdr that i feel that my hands and feet are not mine and i also feel that my hands are verry light. Thank you so much for helping us! ❤️
Don’t worry Jan, feelings like that are super common with DPDR. I know they can be frustrating but they will fade away and stop as you recover 😊 www.dpmanual.com/about/do-i-have-depersonalization-disorder/

Shaun man plzzz can u just give me a session and listen to my issues / and i want to try the manual but i wana ask and talk man on few things / i would be really thankful to u man :( im suffering badly
i need your help, i’ve always had anxiety ever since i was about 10, but it’s gotten to the point i’ve had DP for about 4 months now and most times im convinced that i died of a heart attack over a bad trip in july when i smoked too much weed, i know it sounds stupid but that’s what i genuinely think, that i died and im not actually here. I always look at other people and think how they are living normally, because everything seems so pointless and not enjoyable, im constantly im my head and for the few seconds im distracted i think “u were distraxted from ur DP” and then i fall back into the cycle of thinking about it too much and it’s driving me insane, im on antidepressants for anxiety and im hoping DP will fade away soon.

Hi Sean, does DPDR cause broken sleep? Some of my symptoms are fading but I keep having broken sleep EVERY night, no matter how tired I am. I woke up 3 to 4 times a night. Can you confirm if this is a symptom, does anyone else have this?
Happens to me:/ last night I couldn’t fall asleep at all, really scary to not get any sleep
Don’t worry Joe, issues with sleeping and dreaming are very common with DP and all anxiety-based conditions 😊 I know it can be frustrating but they are temporary and harmless and will fade away and stop as your recover continues: www.dpmanual.com/articles/why-does-depersonalization-affect-sleep-and-dreams/
Only thing that triggers an episode now is either bad sleep (sleeping too much or too little) or some big change in environment (driving test, days before vacation) but other than that I more or less recovered. It feels good knowing it’s not there 24/7. I should be exercising more though 😂. There’s a medication called lamictal and it has amazing reviews for dpdr. It doesn’t make you high or anything (you don’t even notice you’re taking a medication) but it just slowly helps you return to normality. I came here because I got bored and to just recommend this medication as it is a life saver.
Hi! I’ve struggled with falling asleep, I didn’t sleep at all last night. Would you recommend that medication for that?
@@joespinelli3604 No. lamictal is a mood stabilizer. Doesn’t help with sleep. I take something called Remeron for sleep. You should get in contact with a psychiatrist. Forgot to mention, but showers work amazing for me. Just a nice hot steamy shower lifts my mood if I’m ever experiencing a dpdr episode
I have lamictal. Doesn't it cause a rash ? Does dpdr make you feel like your either coming or going ? I have so many symptoms of it idk what's what . And isn't lamictal for bi polar ?
@@mattrinehart9348 You are correct as to lamictal can cause a very dangerous rash. However the rash usually happens if you tilter up the dose it’s quickly (which is why it’s important to have a psychiatrist help you get to the desired dose) the rash (known as Steven Johnson syndrome) is also incredibly rare; happening in about 0.08% of people. Lamictal was originally prescribed for epilepsy, but it’s been shown to have promising results for the depressive symptoms of bipolar. It’s also prescribed off label for major depressive disorder, and even DPDR. It’s one of the few medications that work for dpdr, as its believed to primarily work on the GABA receptors in the brain. Just to note, I’m not a doctor, but I’m simply regurgitating what I’ve read online, and what my own psychiatrist has told me. I can also provide my own anecdotal advice since I’ve been taking lamictal for a little over 2 years now.
Lamictal didn't make you feel flat ? Does it make the world more clear and the way it's suppose to look ?
Does this affect perception on memory. Time. I feel like what I did yesterday was weeks ago. I can’t remember my whole week or recall days atall
Don’t worry, worries about loss of memory or time are super common with DPDR 😊 I know they can be scary but they will fade away and stop completely as you recover: www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-and-memory-loss/
@@Dpmanual really. So it’s normal for me to not remember my week jsut gone or last week? I used to have an amazing memory. It’s all foggy and dreamy if that makes sense. Something I did yesterday or even this morning feels like days or even weeks ago 😔

I'm not familiar with that channel 🤔
The first time i got high it was very traumatic then i got high again then it was very traumatic also i don't know if it added up and now i think i have derealization and intrusive thoughts please respond🥺💗
Hey, thanks for your comment 😊 Don’t worry, that all sounds like a very typical case of weed-induced DP to me.

How do all these people who recover do it without medication? I’m on medication and know if I came off it I’d be dead man walking. These natural things do not work for me. As soon as I hear they did it without meds, I tune out bc I know we’re not in the same situation. My symptoms never match either. I’m on a lonely island of my own. I feel inside out. Like I’m completely turned inside out. No reality issues, no movie, no dream, no intrusive thoughts.
My symptoms don't match either makes me think something else
It's okay some people need medication and some don't
What’s the total cost of this manual. Really looking for help but moneys tight. I hope it’s truly truly worth it

Is it normal to have convinced yourself you are in purgatory or Hell? How do I know if it's just a fear or if that I really believe it? I purchased the DP manual but I've slipped on the rules. I'm having a hard time accepting that it's DPDR. But I had it twice before in my teen years but it was more derealization than depersonalization and now its both. I just need someone to talk to me 😢
Don’t worry, existential / intrusive thoughts like that are super common with DPDR. I know they can be frustrating and frightening but they are also temporary and harmless and will fade away and stop as your recovery continues 😊 www.dpmanual.com/articles/depersonalization-fears-and-anxious-thoughts/

hey man, im feeling the same things. my vision is very off feeling, i don’t know who i am or where i am, even my body language can feel very distorted and weird i’m currently trying my hardest to recover from depersonalization/derealization and the tips on this channel have been a huge relief that everything will go back to normal soon. you are not alone it will pass keep pushing though it my man
@@melotics yea it sucks but the channel does really help me and I hope it helps u also bro I always feel better knowing I’m not going crazy like he says on one video and everything he says I’ve been going threw but it does make it pretty clear that we’re basically just overthinking it and that turns it up a lot I try just keeping my mind of it and it usually goes away but it returns I have bad days and good day today was a terrible day usually if I get a really good night sleep i feel like it goes away but it comes back when I’m tired for some odd reason any ways I hope you recover buddy and I hope everyone going threw this does peace and much love keep believing that one day we’ll be back to normal and it’ll come 🙏
@@elgordolagordayelflacoguer7521 yes we will recover one day but i hope you recover very soon bro. what i do is to try and tell myself it will pass and this feeling is only temporary sometimes it will go for a while but sometimes it will lower it and i’m stable again, it also is better to tell yourself you aren’t going crazy. for me it comes around the evening or the morning. i really hope everyone out there recovers from this experience
My main symptom is the off feeling vision and I noticed you said it had to do with dilated pupils but mine are never dilated. (Bad weed experience) Do you think it can be related to something like hppd and my eye symptoms could be permanent?
Don't worry, as with all anxiety-based conditions you don't necessarily need to be experiencing all the symptoms at once, they will typically vary and come and go over time. And no, none of the symptoms are permanent 😊 Read this carefully: www.dpmanual.com/articles/is-depersonalization-permanent/

Is it normal for me as a high schooler I’m only 16 years old I feel scared,and will DP effect me when it comes to military career
Hey, thanks for your comment. Firstly, please make sure that you’re speaking to your parents about what’s happening. It’s very important that they know what’s going on. Secondly, I know DPDR can be frightening but remember that it's just your body and brain's natural response to stress and anxiety. It's not permanent and it can't hurt you. You can and will recover. Make sure to read through all the info and articles on my website at www.dpmanual.com

If your vision (tested by an optometrist) is normal, but it feels, like, your vision part of the brain isn't working properly, is that a sign of derealization/dissociation??

My worry is my dp/dr is cause by a physical brain issue does that mean it can be permanent. I’m beyond petrified of this being possible
No dp/dr is rooted and only caused by anxiety. You will be okay, I’m struggling with it too but we will get through it

@@TheWolimorb you’re welcome! Feel free to reach out anytime, it’s nice to keep in contact with someone going through the same thing
It could be worth consulting with a neurologist, get blood work etc. But it's most likely, a by product of mental illness, DP dr is apparently pretty common, many of us going thru it- yeah it sucks
